Business Information analysts are involved in the analysis, design, implementation, maintenance and enhancement of computer based information systems critical to the successful operation of modern organisations. They require a sound understanding of the business requirements for the systems they design and must deal with users at all levels within an organisation.

UOW's Bachelor of Business Information Systems degree is specifically designed to prepare you for a career as a systems analyst or as an information systems specialist in a business, government, or a non-profit environment.

The program emphasises theoretical understanding and practical skills and involves working with a wide range of hardware and software tools, using state-of-the-art computing facilities. Real life projects will ensure your skills meet industry requirements.
