Master of Business Information Technology

The Master of Business Information Technology at RMIT University explores the connection between technology and business processes. Students look at how information systems support business operations and decision-making. Topics generally include systems analysis and design, project management, IT strategy, business analytics, enterprise systems, and organisational change. Expect to develop skills in both technical areas and the communication needed to bridge business and IT teams.

This is a two-year degree, normally structured around four semesters. You will undertake a set of core and elective units, with each unit carrying a specific number of credit points as recognised by Australian institutions. Throughout your studies, there may be opportunities for industry-engaged projects, and courses often culminate in a capstone project. This lets you apply your learning to a real-world business IT challenge, which could be undertaken in collaboration with local Melbourne companies.

Students gain experience working collaboratively, analysing business needs, designing technology solutions, and managing resources. Skills in critical thinking, stakeholder engagement, and project leadership are highly valued. In Australia, graduates of this degree are sought by businesses looking for professionals who understand technology’s role in creating business value.

This course suits those interested in business and IT, either as career changers or recent graduates from computing, business, or related fields. It's especially suited to those seeking a technical role with direct business impact, or business roles managing technology adoption. Most international students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after graduation.
