Business information systems program
Since
first being run in 1989, the Business Information Systems Program has seen
over 200 of the University of South Australia’s finest students graduate and
enter the workforce to become leaders of industry.
Catering for the needs of industry, the program was developed and
continues to develop through close consultation between the University and
the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. It combines courses from
both business and information systems to form a well rounded and grounded
graduate equipped with the necessary skills to meet employer demands and
to excel in their future careers.
The program is highly regarded by leading firms, locally, nationally
and internationally – 100% of previous graduates have obtained
professional employment. The program has also established an excellent
reputation within the academic community and has received special mention
from the Business/Higher Education Round Table.
