About this program

The Master of Information Systems and Technology at Curtin University focuses on developing both technical skills and business understanding, helping students analyse, design and manage IT solutions within organisations. Delivered at Curtin's Perth campus, the course combines practical IT knowledge with core principles of business process management, project leadership and system analysis. Students work through a sequence of units comprising required and elective subjects, covering topics like database management, cybersecurity, enterprise information systems, and digital innovation.

Spanning 1.5 years full time, the course is structured around units of study that each carry a set number of credit points. Typically, students complete advanced coursework and may take part in a capstone project which allows them to demonstrate problem-solving abilities on an industry-relevant challenge. This course also offers opportunities for industry engagement, such as guest lectures and case studies drawn from Australian organisations.

Those pursuing this degree can expect to strengthen their skills in areas including strategic IT planning, business analytics and emerging technologies. The programme suits people with an undergraduate qualification who wish to move into information systems consultancy, project management, systems analysis or similar roles. It is well-suited to those looking to boost their credentials for work in corporate, government or not-for-profit settings.
