Information systems or information technology

A Master of Information Technology teaches programming, networks, cloud, databases and software projects, usually with specialisations. A Master of Information Systems or of Business Information Systems, at Melbourne, Monash, ANU and Swinburne, mixes IT with business analysis and management. If you want to code, take IT; if you want to manage systems or analyse business needs, information systems.

What to look for

An industry project or internship in the final semester, a specialisation that matches jobs (cyber security, data, cloud, software development), and accreditation of the course by the Australian Computer Society, which helps with the later skills assessment.
