The highly flexible course structure opens up a variety of career opportunities. Graduates of the program will be expected to play leading professional roles in the field locally and overseas.
This course has been accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS) as meeting the standard for professional-level membership. Students who successfully complete the MBIS may, depending on their unit choice, be eligible for professional accreditation/recognition by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), the Australian Society of Archivists (ASA), or the Records and Information Management Professionals Australasia (RIM Professionals Australasia).
The entry requirement is successful completion of a degree that is the equivalent of an Australian bachelors degree, not necessarily in an IT-related discipline.
To be competitive for selection, normally a Pass (50%) average is required. The applicant's entire academic record can be taken into consideration when assessing eligibility for the course.
Selection officers will consider the applicant's range of studies, and can place greater importance on studies which demonstrate ability to progress satisfactorily in an IT degree.
Candidates without formal tertiary qualifications can apply to enter via a pathway from the Professional Certificate in Information Technology or the Executive Certificate in Information Technology, which are intended to lead to a graduate or postgraduate diploma. Upon successful completion of a subsequent relevant graduate diploma (with course leader advice), students may be eligible to articulate into their chosen Master program.
National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (AEI-NOOSR) guidelines on equivalency to Australian bachelor degrees will apply.
