Master of Research - Information and Communication Technology at Swinburne University of Technology

If you are interested in learning the science of business informatics within an organisation, combined with an in-depth understanding of the capabilities and limitations of information technology - then the UC Graduate Diploma of Business Informatics is the course for you. The course is particularly suited to those looking for a career as a business analyst and are keen to mediate between organisational units and the information technologies that support them. This flexible intermediate-level course will cover many of the core areas of the 'Skills Framework for the Information Age' at a professional level, with weekday evening classes offered to enable you to balance study with your other commitments. Through this course you will develop a solid understanding of the intent and context of systems, as well as their nature and development, and will go on to learn how to address issues of work practice and information needs and use them to align technical and human systems. At the completion of this course, you will be well-placed to launch a successful career in business informatics, or to progress to further postgraduate study via the Master of Business Informatics, which is available by enrolling in additional units.

In this program you will develop advanced skills in order to critically analyse information, synthesise knowledge, and communicate your research findings effectively for a variety of career settings. Research in the school is focused on transdisciplinary research across multiple disciplines including accounting, data analytics, information systems, financial planning, taxation, supply chain and logistics management.
