This 4 year combined program leads to the award of a Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Information Systems (BCom/BIS) and will meet the needs of students who want a strong, focused and highly regarded business degree combined with an Information Systems degree. As part of the degree program students will complete a major stream in both a selected area of Information Systems (IS) and an approved disciplinary stream within the Australian School of Business. After gaining approval, students with an appropriate academic record may also enrol in an additional Honours year within the Australian School of Business or within IS. Students may choose IS as a major in the BIS component only. In selecting their combination of majors, students should note that while there is a wide range of choice, not every combination can be completed in 4 years of full-time study. Students are also not able to take a modern language as their major.
