This program offers the opportunity for IT professionals to develop their skills in data management, business process management, systems oriented architecture and systems development. The program has been developed in collaboration with NICTA and with input from an industry reference group to cater for two categories of student: IT professionals seeking to develop skills that will enable them to take a strategic approach to the development of IT solutions, and non-IT personnel who need to understand IT development from a strategic management perspective.

All graduate coursework for domestic students in the ANU College of Business and Economics is offered under Domestic Tuition Fee places. Australian citizens may defer the payment of their fees using FEE-HELP, however should be aware that the programs are not eligible for Commonwealth Supported Places and HECS-HELP.

Students completing degree studies outside Australia will need to meet a similar minimum grade requirement, however due to variations in grading scales the specific requirements vary between countries. As an indication, examples of grades required include a GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or Upper Second Class Honours degree.
