Master of Information Systems

Deakin University

The Master of Information Systems is typically 8, 12 or 16 credit points. The exact number of credit points you study depends on how much credit you receive as recognition of prior learning (RPL) – your professional experience and previous qualifications – which can save you time and money.For students undertaking 16 credit points, you study 12 credit points of core units (2 of which must be selected from a specified list), plus completion of the compulsory 0-credit point module, DAI001 Academic Integrity Module. and 4 credit points of open elective units, which may be selected from a Faculty wide specialisation, a selected list of units or any postgraduate units offered by the University including stackable short courses (0.5cp microcredentials) subject to eligibility.Students are introduced to research tools and techniques in core units of the course where they learn analytic skills and the practical application of those skills in professional contexts. They must also complete a capstone unit that requires requiring them to integrate the skills learnt over their course of study while they apply to a real-life context and produce an applied piece of research with reference to prevailing literature.
