This Program is available only to students admitted through the scholarship selection procedures administered by the UNSW Co-op Program office. The BSc (BIT) is a four year degree program for which honours may be awarded. It is an industry linked education program leading to the award of the qualification Bachelor of Science (Business Information Technology). The program draws on three core disciplinary areas: Information Systems, Accounting and Computer Science.
The BIT program has been designed in conjunction with Information Systems and Information Technology industry professionals to provide for the needs of Australian businesses. The program combines the requirements for the award of the degree with 18 months of coordinated industrial experience at three different sponsoring organisations (24 weeks at each). Industrial Training extends outside university sessions. A scholarship is payable from funds donated by the sponsoring organisations. Entry to the program is limited to students awarded a scholarship through the BIT selection procedures.

Consideration for entry to the course may proceed only on the basis of an application directly to Co-Op program Office at the University of New South Wales and application through UAC.

Students who are academically acceptable for the BIT Degree Program, but who are not offered a scholarship position, should consider registering for first Stage entry into the BSc (IS) 3979 program. If BIT Scholarships become available at the end of stage 1, students undertaking the BSc (IS) 3979 program may be offered an interview and a transfer into the BSc (BIT) 3971 co-operative Scholarship Degree Program.

This four Stage course teaches Information Systems Theory and Practice and provides industrial training linked to that teaching. The three industrial training periods in the course are each of approximately six months duration, running from January of Stages 2 and 4, and July of Stage 3 of the program.
