Bachelor of Information Systems Bachelor of Business

The Bachelor of Information Systems Bachelor of Business at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) offers a unique opportunity to specialise in both information systems and business over four years of full-time study. This double degree is structured to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of how technology underpins modern organisations and to develop strong business acumen. The course is delivered through a combination of core, major and elective units of study, each contributing to the total credit points required for graduation. Students may have the opportunity for practical or industry project experiences, which reflect the strong industry connections in Sydney's business and tech sectors.

The course is divided into semesters, and students progress through foundational, intermediate and advanced units which cover areas such as systems analysis, data management, business strategy, project management, and digital innovation. In the final stage, students typically undertake a capstone project or industry-related assignment designed to synthesise learning and demonstrate their capability to manage information systems solutions in a business environment. The integration of business principles and information systems makes this programme relevant across many Australian industries.

Throughout the course, students develop essential skills including analytical thinking, problem-solving, effective communication, teamwork, and the ability to bridge the gap between technical and business roles. Graduates gain hands-on experience with current technologies and develop a working understanding of business operations, enabling them to provide strategic value in technologically driven workplaces. International students are required to show evidence of English proficiency by meeting the university’s minimum IELTS (or equivalent) requirement, and can confirm the details on the official university webpage.

This double degree is suited to individuals seeking versatile roles at the intersection of business and technology, and is particularly valuable for those who wish to work in Australia’s dynamic economy, which has strong demand for professionals with both technical and business skills. The course structure, practical components, and location in Sydney offer excellent networking and career opportunities.
