The mass adoption of social media, the accumulation of large amounts of data and the advances in new technologies such as business analytics and artificial intelligence have made information central to most aspects of work and life. Digital information has revolutionised the way we do business. Its capture, strategic use and associated technology in the business environment is focal to the discipline of information systems.
Created in response to the rapid growth in the use of information systems and eBusiness applications by businesses and governments internationally, Deakin’s Master of Information Systems enables you to develop specialist skills in digital transformation, eBusiness and business-oriented principles and practices of information systems. You’ll explore the strategic use of information in a business and policy context, while gaining a sound technical understanding  in specific areas of information systems, particularly information security, supply chain management, and project management.
Learn about the principles and practices of stakeholder analysis, identification of business needs, problems and opportunities, analysis, negotiation and specification of requirements for any solution that may involve technology-inspired change. You’ll also have the option to complement your primary studies in information systems with a specialisation in a wide range of business-related fields (e.g. AI strategy and management or business analytics). Designed to meet industry demand for skilled professionals with a breadth of transferable skills, a specialisation can help deepen your knowledge in a particular business field and benefit your future career.
Develop quantitative reasoning skills so that you can review business performance to find problems, areas of opportunities, and trends in data using business analytics. Explore data-driven, evidence-based approaches to business decision making and business performance analysis, and gain an understanding of business metrics.
As a graduate, your project management skills will be well-honed to ensure you’re able to implement best practice relationship building, communication and resourcing to support your project aims.
