Module 2 has a research methods component that builds on prior analytical studies. In module 2, students begin to specialise in a business systems area such as management, commercial, financial, health or industrial systems and work with individual members of staff. Module 3 allows the student to further specialise and undertake project work in their preferred area. The results of the project work are presented in the form of working papers. The majority of subjects normally should be postgraduate subjects offered by the School of Business Systems.
Elective subjects are subjects chosen by the student.
Two elective subjects may be drawn from any postgraduate program of the university with the approval of the relevant teaching department and the head of the School of Business Systems or nominee. Students who have completed a total of eight subjects, but who do not wish to complete the masters program, may elect to exit with the Graduate Diploma in Business Systems. The standard structure is as follows.
