Overview

The organisational challenge of introducing and managing information technology is daunting. Today's business requires IT strategic planning to be an integral part of the organisation's strategic plan.

This degree is aimed primarily at professionals who wish to progress upwards or broaden their career opportunities in the ICT industry, and covers both IT strategic planning and implementation and organisational management.

Applicants with a degree in any area plus at least one year full-time employment in the ICT industry will be considered.

Students with an average mark of at least 60% in their three-year Bachelor degree, but with little or no background in IT, may be considered.

Credit Arrangements

Upon successful completion of the MITM, students who meet the Master of Business Administration (MBA) entry requirements may apply to enrol in the MBA degree and, if successful, will be required to complete a further six (6) specified subjects (36 credit points) as determined by the MBA co-ordinator. To gain the maximum credit towards the MBA students should choose only one ISIT subject from Group B (ie. do not take both ISIT905 and ISIT908 in Group B - if you choose both in Group B you will need to complete 7 additional subjects in the MBA).
