This course falls under the field of education '08 - Management and Commerce', specifically Business Management (080301). Students gain competencies in both business administration and information technology, including organisational behaviour, marketing, financial management, systems analysis, programming, and data management. At AQF Level 7, graduates develop broad theoretical and technical knowledge, cognitive skills to analyse and evaluate complex business and IT problems, and communication skills to present ideas to diverse stakeholders. The dual qualification structure allows students to integrate business strategy with technological solutions, a skill set highly valued in today's digital economy. While specific curricula vary, typically students complete core subjects in both disciplines and may choose electives to specialise.
The CRICOS register lists the duration as 4 years (208 weeks). Language of instruction is English. This is a dual qualification, meaning students graduate with two bachelor degrees simultaneously: a Bachelor of Business and a Bachelor of Information Technology. Dual degrees allow students to complete two qualifications in less time than studying them separately, often by overlapping core subjects. Full-time on-campus study is expected, though some institutions offer flexible delivery. Always confirm study mode with University of Canberra. International students must maintain full-time enrolment to satisfy student visa conditions.
