Double Degree Program

The Double Degree programs are offered in partnership with La Trobe University (Australia) and Queensland University of Technology (Brisbane, Australia. In addition to the Sarjana Komputer (S.Kom) degree from BINUS UNIVERSITY, students who complete this program will be awarded with a Bachelor of Computer Science (B.Comp.Sc.) degree from La Trobe University, and Bachelor of Information Technology (B.I.T) degree from QUT.

In cooperation with La Trobe University, this unique program allows students to gain two degrees while staying full time in Jakarta. In the first part of the program, students undertake courses offered by BINUS and in the second part of the program, students undertake the La Trobe University courses either in Jakarta or have an option to study in Melbourne for at least one semester. This new arrangement of indicates that Binus students are entitled to received two bachelor certificates from Binus University International and La Trobe University WITHOUT traveling to Australia. Upon satisfactory completion of all course requirements, students are awarded a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Major in Software Engineering degree from La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia and a Sarjana Komputer (S.Kom) degree from BINUS UNIVERSITY.

In coopration with QUT, the first three years of study follow a prescribed set of courses agreed between BINUS and QUT. The final year of study is undertaken at the partner overseas campus abroad.

Master Track Program

The Master Track program is designed to allow students to complete their Sarjana Komputer (S.Kom) degree at  BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL in the 7th (seven) semesters, and then continue with a graduate program for 1 – 2 years  (depending on the chosen concentration) at Macquarie University or Boston University to obtain a Master degree.

Teaching, Learning, and Assessment Strategy

The teaching and learning processes are conducted through lectures, tutorials, practical demonstrations and activities, small projects, with students’ independent study required. It is the responsibility of the lecturer of a particular course to facilitate all students’ learning in the course, who can be assisted by a tutor, if necessary. By having qualified lecturers and guest lecturers from professional industries, the students will be able to gain knowledge from both sides, i.e. theoretical and practical frameworks, through in-depth analyses of case studies, laboratories, and individual/group work projects. In addition, innovation habits will be developed through course assessments that emphasize content comprehension and innovation. Students are required to translate their selected innovative ideas into a visible design to comprehend the end-to-end innovation process. This innovation thinking approach is implemented in the teaching, learning, and assessment process of several courses throughout the program.

Learning will be an exciting experience for students as they are provided with facilities such as Internet access, computer laboratories, and library resources. Specialized laboratories or access to specialized simulation software is needed for advanced students where group and individual projects are developed. Contemporary and emerging software development tools will be available to create the most current enterprise solutions. A good quality library is provided for the students to access books, journals, and magazines for information and research activities.

All coursework is assessed through a variety of assessment tasks such as reports, presentations, assignments, individual and group projects, and thesis/final project reports, as well as mid-semester and final semester examinations. The feedback of the given assessment tasks is given in the class/tutorial, embedded in the scoring rubric/assessment criteria sheet and/or separate feedback forms. Students will also be encouraged to work together on team-oriented projects. The group skills developed in this mode are critical to a successful information systems professional. The complexity of course content in designing problem-solving methods is introduced at different levels of the study. A final project work and the written report must be submitted in year 4 (semester 8).

Study Completion Requirements

To complete the program of Business Information Systems with either a single or double degree(s) at BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL, students must complete a minimum of 146 scu’s (academic credits).
