Overview

The Bachelor of Digital Enterprise combines the strengths of business and information technology to prepare you for careers shaped by innovation and rapid digital change. You will develop a strong foundation in management, marketing, digital product development, and data-driven decision-making, while also gaining core IT capabilities in web development, systems, networking, and applications.

This unique mix enables you to understand how organisations operate, create value and compete in modern digital environments. Designed for flexibility, the degree lets you tailor your studies to your interests with a wide selection of business and IT units, and you can study online or on campus.

Whether you want to design smarter solutions, lead digital transformation or build new ventures, this course equips you with the practical insight and creative mindset needed to thrive in today's connected world.



Career opportunities

Graduates of the Bachelor of Digital Enterprise are equipped for a wide range of roles at the intersection of business and technology.
