Get ready for tech leadership with a master's in information systems – regardless of your background

With no STEM or technical degree required, the MS in Information Systems program is designed to equip both technical and non-technical learners with the ability to solve complex problems in an ever-changing tech world.

Combining technical skills such as UX design and data analytics with business management expertise in agile methodologies and data management, you’ll be ready to drive digital transformation in any organization or industry. 

As part of the program, you can tailor your learning by choosing from three specialised focus areas: Cyber & Information Security, Software Testing & Quality Assurance, and Product Management & DevOps Leadership. These tracks align your electives with specific skill sets and career goals, allowing you to build deep expertise in high-demand areas of tech.

Prefer more flexibility? You don’t have to commit to a track. You can remain on the general track, selecting electives that match your interests or career plans across disciplines. This option is ideal for learners who are still exploring or want to customise their skill set. Just keep in mind—if you decide to switch into a specialised track later, previously completed electives may not all apply.

Flexibility
Progress at your own pace, and choose either full-time or part-time study during each 16-week semester.
Program length
With program start dates available in January, May and September, full-time students can finish the MSIS in as little as 18 months.
Built for real-world success
Choose a specialised track aligned with your career goals — or mix and match electives to build a skill set that fits your path.
Learn on mobile
Study on the move. Mobile-friendly learning on iOS and Android available for many assignments.
