About the course

Technology workers have been key to supporting the extra demand for digital infrastructure and services throughout the pandemic, with strong annual employment growth achieved in 2020 and forecast to continue through to 2026¹.

　　Professionally accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), the Bachelor of Information Technology is a highly flexible program that offers you the opportunity to explore a range of interest areas and tailor your degree to your career goals. Employment opportunities exist in public and private settings across industries – from health to defence, education and manufacturing – as well as entrepreneurial enterprises.

　　You will enjoy a modern, practical approach to your IT education, with significant opportunities to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom in real-world settings. Second year students may be offered a paid six-month internship, where you will be mentored by industry experts, work on large IT projects and use this as part of your assessment for your final semester course.

　　Enjoy a common first-year across most IT degrees enabling you to switch between specialisations and receive credit for completed courses. This means if you change your mind about your IT specialisation after first-year, you can change programs and still complete your degree in 3 or 4 years full-time (depending on your degree length). Start now, decide later.

　　On-campus teaching for this program is based at the Mawson Lakes campus. Only 20 minutes from the city centre with easy parking. The Mawson Lakes campus is also accessible by bus and train with the Mawson Lakes train station only a short walk.

　　During your first year of study you will gain a solid foundation in networking, database development, programming fundamentals and systems analysis and design, before focusing on your chosen areas of study.

　　This degree then allows you to choose your own specialisations – either two minor areas of study in IT, or one minor area of study in IT and one from a complimentary discipline. This allows you to develop a broad range of knowledge and skills to enhance your career prospects. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
