About this program

The Master of Business Informatics at the University of Canberra is a two-year postgraduate course that brings together technical skills and business understanding. Students work through units focused on enterprise systems, information management, business analytics, cybersecurity, and project management. The course also examines how technology supports strategic decision-making and digital transformation initiatives within organisations.

Typically, students complete this master's degree across four semesters. The structure includes core informatics and business units, elective options, and a capstone project that applies informatics concepts to a real-world organisational challenge. In many cases, students undertake work-integrated learning placements or projects with Australian industry partners, giving practical experience within the workplace.

Graduates build skills in systems analysis, business process modelling, data-driven decision making, and managing digital innovation. This course suits those with an interest in applying IT to solve business problems, whether they come from a computing or a commercial background. Australian qualifications are measured in credit points, with each unit of study contributing to the degree requirements. Before enrolling, it's a good idea to check the university's official page for the latest unit list and entry details.
