Bachelor of Business / Bachelor of Information Technology

The Bachelor of Business / Bachelor of Information Technology at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) focuses on both business acumen and technical expertise, helping students understand how technology and business strategy intersect in real organisations. This four-year, double-degree program is taught at QUT's Brisbane campus and involves completing units of study from both the QUT Business School and the School of Information Systems. You’ll study topics such as management, marketing, or finance alongside software design, programming, systems analysis, and networks.

Each year is structured around semesters, with students undertaking core and elective units that build toward both degrees. Students earn credit points for each unit, and typically complete a set number of credit points per semester to meet graduation requirements. In later years of the course, you may have opportunities for work-integrated learning or professional placements, applying business and IT skills at Australian companies or public sector organisations. Many students choose a capstone project or internship in their final year, giving hands-on experience with real business and technology challenges.

This course is ideal if you want a dual skillset that’s valued in the Australian workforce, especially if you see yourself in roles that require both business sense and technical problem-solving. It suits those interested in project management, consulting, business analysis, system development, or entrepreneurship. Skills developed include communication, teamwork, leadership, analytical thinking, IT project delivery, and digital innovation, setting graduates up for careers across industry sectors in Australia and potentially overseas. Make sure to confirm course details and unit availability on QUT’s official website.
