Department of Information Systems and Business Analytics

Deakin's Department of Information Systems and Business Analytics is a leading interdisciplinary department that focuses on digital technologies, artificial intelligence and business analytics.

Information systems and business analytics at Deakin

Our curriculum is informed both by cutting edge research and practice. A key component of our programs is hands-on experience involving industry-focused problem-solving, strategies and applications for an easy transition to the workforce for our graduates. DISBA members have received several awards for teaching and learning and publish their research in leading academic and practitioner journals.

Our work

Our work with industry partners in public and private sectors extends from short-term engagements such as workshops and events (AI Festival), collaborative reports and surveys (Tata Consultancy Services), customised consulting and training, directly funded research in partnerships, or larger funded government initiatives.

DISBA’s members are also active in the multidisciplinary Centre for AI and the Future of Business which provides insights and collaboration at the intersection of Data, AI and Digitalisation.

The department welcomes new industry collaborations in teaching and research. Contact the Department Head to discuss partnership proposals.
