Come Prepared to Learn, Leave Prepared to Succeed Bachelor of Business in Information Systems (BBIS) Introduction Information systems are integral to every face of business from the core functions of procurement, accounts or sales and marketing, through to intelligent systems that aid strategic decision making.

As a result, more and more companies are integrating their information systems, allowing separate divisions to share information and make more informed decisions with a broader organisational view. Career Opportunities Graduates of the Bachelor of Business Information Systems will be at an advantage in pursuing careers such as information management, planning, project management, operations management, business analysis and systems development.
