Bachelor of Information, BI

The Bachelor of Information is a four-year, first-entry, undergraduate degree program that integrates technical, social, cultural, and ethical perspectives on information and information technologies.

The BI is a limited enrolment degree program; students complete a total of 20.0 credits, including 14.0 required credits and 6.0 elective credits. Students establish foundational technical and theoretical knowledge in Year 1, deepen understanding and reinforce methodological and applied skills in Year 2, specialize and integrate knowledge through technically advanced and socially situated courses in Year 3, and focus on professional preparation and capstone integration in Year 4. The program is designed to develop technical proficiency in areas such as information technologies, data analysis, cybersecurity, and system design, ensuring graduates can address complex digital transformation challenges.

The program’s interdisciplinary focus prepares graduates for careers in data management, information systems, and cybersecurity, as well as for further academic study.

Note: The four-year, first-entry BI will replace the existing two-year, second-entry BI currently offered by the Faculty of Information.
