To stay competitive, innovate, increase profits and better serve customers, businesses need to continually adapt and improve their processes. And to do so, they’ll increasingly prioritise data-driven decision-making. It’s this focus on data that’s responsible for the boom in business analyst roles – the Australian government ranks business analysts in the top 20 in-demand occupations, and the the US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that by 2030, the number of BA roles will grow at a rate three times the average for all roles.

The Information Systems specialisation – specially designed to provide IT skills to those who have an undergraduate qualification in an area other than IT – uniquely draws on concepts from both information systems and business analytics. You’ll learn how to employ data and process modelling techniques to implement complex IT systems and processes for the strategic benefit of organisations. You’ll analyse both quantitative and qualitative business data to provide optimal decision-making for the implementation of suitable IT systems. And you’ll develop the analytic, communication and project management skills required to tame the IT–business interface across a wide range of industries, including healthcare, education, finance, retail and hospitality.
