About this course

Overview

In this Master of Information Systems and Technology specialisation, you will develop the skills required for senior-level roles in enterprise governance, green information and sustainability.

You'll learn sustainable and green information technology (IT) frameworks and practices that minimise negative environmental impacts of IT operations, and provide sustainable options for the future.

You'll consider how corporate strategy, IS/IT strategy and organisational design are drivers to implement contemporary technologies in business. You'll also explore the requirements and impact of enterprise governance - the processes and practices that ensure an organisation operates effectively, ethically and in alignment with its strategic objectives.

You'll get practical insights into ICT applications through an industry-based project, and you can gain real-world experience and global exposure by completing an internship or international study tour.
