Plan Outline

The UNSW Co-op Program is a scholarship program set up by industry and The University of New South Wales to provide financial support and industry training for selected undergraduate students. The UNSW Co-op Program is based on existing undergraduate programs at UNSW with the following special features:
  • For high achieving students the UNSW Co-op Program offers an ideal combination of challenge and opportunity.
  • Co-op students receive structured industrial training and gain valuable work experience with up to four different employers.
  • On graduation, sponsors are always looking to recruit Co-op Scholars.
  • UNSW academics and senior managers from industry and government have jointly planned Co-op requirements.
  • In 2008 Co-op scholars are receiving a tax-free scholarship of $15,000 per annum.
  • At present we have 150 of Australia’s leading industries sponsoring 470 scholars across 24 different programs.
The BCom ISM program is a four year degree program for which Honours may be awarded. It is an industry linked education program combining the requirements of the BCom with 18 months of coordinated industry experience. Industrial training extends outside university semesters. A scholarship is payable from funds donated by the sponsoring organisations. Entry to the program is limited to students awarded a scholarship through the ISM selection procedures.

This plan is also for students who wish to to undertake a Major in Information Systems and who are interested in business and management aspects of the discipline. You will learn about business IS in various complex decision making contexts and how these systems, and the information generated by them, support the modern organisation in achieving both day-to-day and long-term objectives. Graduates from this specialisation have a range of broad career paths to choose including: business analysis; project management; data administration; IS security consulting; IS applications development; knowledge management; e-business systems management and business intelligence systems. With a BCom (IS) you can combine Information Systems with another Commerce discipline such as Accounting, Marketing, Actuarial Studies, Economics, Business Law & Taxation, Banking & Finance or Organisation & Management.
