Course Objectives

This combined program offers students the benefits of two complementary areas of study. In addition to providing an extended advanced program of study in both theory and practice of information systems within a business environment, students are also provided with the knowledge, competencies and processes within the filed of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems.

Units and electives

All units of study carry a value of 12 credit points. Students must complete 192 credit points through academic study in order to graduate.

Students are required to complete six ERP core units, four IS units and a further six electives from both areas.

What's a unit?

A unit or 'subject' is the actual class you'll attend in the process of completing a course.

Most courses have a mixture of compulsory 'core' units that you need to take, and optional 'elective' units that you can choose to take based on your area of interest, expertise or experience.

Credits

Each unit is worth a set amount of study credits based on the amount of time you study. Generally, 1 credit is equal to 1 hour of study per week.
