Bachelor of Business Administration/Bachelor of Information Technology

Learn how to utilise technology to improve products and business processes when you study a double degree in Business Administration and Information Technology. You will gain both the technical skills of information technology and the interpersonal and entrepreneurial skills of business.

Enhancing your educational, academic and professional qualifications, double degrees allow you to gain two degrees at once, minimising both the time commitment and cost of your studies. They also make you a more competitive candidate in a crowded job market.

Learn how to create business technology to improve operations and remain protected and how to optimise business operations through technology. On completion of this degree, you will be able to address these challenges and more as you confidently enter the world of business with a field of specialisation, and practical and hands-on experience.

You will benefit from the expertise of our teaching staff who are some of the best in their fields. After studying a common first year designed to help you gain a solid understanding of your combined fields, you will then pursue your passions as you select specialist electives from a range of disciplines. You will study subjects like accounting, economics and finance. In addition to these core subjects, you will discover essential information technology topics including programming, networks security and more.

Throughout this degree, you will have the opportunity to gain practical, real-world experience and make professional connections, including the opportunity to participate in the Business Internship program.
