Program Overview

In today’s fast-moving and complex business environment, those with advanced technical skills in accounting, analytics, economics, finance, information systems and marketing insights will find themselves in demand across a wide range of sectors. A knowledge of commerce is also increasingly valuable in careers such as health, law, psychology, science and technology.

In the Bachelor of Commerce, you’ll study a set of extensive and integrated foundation units that will orient you to commerce and business, followed by one or two majors to develop depth and specialisation in your chosen discipline. You’ll also acquire a set of sought-after employability skills – data literacy, business analysis, teamwork, communication, conflict resolution, problem solving, critical thinking and a global mindset, among others – all key competencies that today’s top employers regard extremely highly.

Major: Business Information Systems
Business information systems are sets of interrelated processes that use IT to develop and use information. Such systems have increasing strategic significance in organisations because of the scope of the systems involved, as well as the role they play in enabling processes and strategies to achieve competitive advantage.

The interdisciplinary Business Information Systems major will provide you with a solid understanding of information systems concepts and issues, and will help you develop strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, enabling you to thrive in the increasingly globalised business community.
