The course is offered only as a full-time program of three
years duration. Students are actively engaged in the course
for an average of forty-four weeks each year. There are eight
segments in the course - four semesters, two summer terms
and two twenty-week periods of industry based learning.
These provide a course which is essentially a four year
course completed in three years.
Swinburne awards a scholarship to each student admitted to
the course. Scholarship levels are expected to be an average
$9000.
Career potential
The course teaches graduates to apply information
technology within business and industry and provides them
with appropriate grounding in management education to
prepare them for future roles in management.
Prerequisites (entrance 1996)
Units 3 and 4: English, Mathematics (any).
