Business and Information Technology

The double degree of Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Information Technology will provide you with strong business skills and knowledge of the information technology field, supplying you with the tools you need to thrive in an increasingly technology-dependent environment. This double degree combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience to help you become successful in whichever career pathway you choose.

You can select from a number of different Business majors including Administrative Management, Human Resource Management, Information Technology Management, International Business, Marketing, Supply Chain Management, and Tourism Management. Information Technology majors include Applied Computer Science, Information Systems Development, Information Technology Management, and Networking and Security.

When graduating with a double degree, you will receive a separate testamur (official certificate) for each degree and will be able to complete the double degree in less time than if you chose to study the two degrees separately.
