  <introduction>&lt;p&gt;This program is designed for graduates either with or without a background in information systems and aims to take those who enter it to a high and advanced level of competence in the discipline. Students without significant background in the area are taken through foundational topics in their first year of study, leading them into the second year which deals with more advanced material. Students who come to the program having studied information systems at the undergraduate level, or who can demonstrate extensive and relevant work experience, may be eligible for advanced standing in the program. In addition to the specified core courses, an extensive list of electives from which students may choose is designed to allow enrollees to focus their study within the degree on those areas of particular interest or relevance to them. The program also represents, for high achieving students who do not have an Honours degree in the discipline, a pathway to PhD research.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eligible&amp;nbsp;domestic&amp;nbsp;students undertaking&amp;nbsp;the Master of Busienss Information Systems degree program&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;may&amp;nbsp;be able to access Youth Allowance, Austudy and the Pensioner Education Supplement.
