Digital Business and Information Technology - B2050

Almost every modern business is influenced in some way by digital technologies - big or small, profit or not-for-profit. They are all led forward by digital innovation and transformation. This means that professionals who view the business landscape through a digital perspective are increasingly valuable to an organisation's success.

This double degree offers you the opportunity to gain that perspective, along with a deeper level of expertise in digital technologies.

The Bachelor of Digital Business equips you with the digital skills needed to make an impact. You'll work with industry partners to gain practical, real-world experience – and expand your knowledge in areas of contemporary business including cybersecurity and big data. You can focus on a specific area of business, like accounting, finance or marketing – and travel between Monash's Caulfield and Malaysia campuses to complete your units.

DOUBLE YOUR OPTIONS

You will also work with industry-specific datasets, software, and live projects and apply emerging technologies like artificial intelligence in positive and sustainable ways. Completing a double degree with the Bachelor of Information Technology further enhances your understanding of the technology that drives future business.

You will learn about various elements of IT, including business analysis, software development and project management, from industry experts who are breaking new ground in the field.
