Please note that a student's MCom specialisation in Information Systems and Technology will not be stated on their testamur (graduation certificate) but it will be included on their academic transcript.

Applicants are expected to have completed foundation units in their Bachelor degree. Students without an adequate foundation are required to complete a four-unit preliminary program before enrolling in any Master of Commerce unit.

Preliminary programs are conducted by the Sydney Institute of Business and Technology (SIBT), located on the Macquarie University campus. Preliminary programs can be commenced in any SIBT trimester (February, June or October) and take four months to complete. Students who complete a preliminary program will be awarded a Graduate Certificate in Information Systems and Technology. The total program fee for the Master of Commerce in Information Systems and Technology with Master of Information Technology and a Graduate Certificate in Information Systems and Technology is AU$39,600.

The Graduate Certificate in Information Systems and Technology consists of four standard units: Accounting 1A, Business Principles, Introduction to Information Systems & Technologies, and Introductory Statistics. Where it is determined that a student has already adequately completed studies equivalent to one or more of these units, an elective unit can be substituted.
