Overview

  • UniSQ’s Master of Information Systems will give you the skills to succeed in an increasingly connected world where new challenges are presented every day. 
  • This degree will give you the necessary skills and expertise to realise the potential of existing technologies, to maximise the opportunities of new and emerging technologies, and to help organisations gain business value from the use of information technology and systems.
  • The IT sector has been identified as having a significant shortage of trained professionals. Now is a great time to embark on a career that will be dynamic, global and in demand. Studying the Master of Information Systems is ideal for professionals with qualifications in areas other than information technology.
