Objectives of the program

The nature of the IT market itself reflects continuous change elicited by networks, the Internet, outsourcing, complex applications software and the globalisation of organisations. Jobs for graduates are available across all spheres of business and industry in addition to roles for IT specialists.

The Information Technology market has grown to a point where virtually any organization is a potential employer of IT graduates. These might include companies right across the sectors of health, retail, banking, farming, teaching, transport, manufacturing, publishing, telecommunications, education, libraries and, in fact, most other industries. 

The RMIT University BBus (BusInfoSys) Vietnam program is designed to enable you to be able to create business information systems (IS) solutions that draw on the body of knowledge in:

  • Business
  • Information Systems
  • Interpersonal Communication

You will be able to effectively perform within the global business IS context to implement IT solutions, grounded in current IT infrastructure, technology development, organisational change and ethical codes of practice.
