The Bachelor of Information Technology requires three years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time) and the honours program an additional year (or equivalent part-time).
The course is offered by the School of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering.
The Bachelor of Information Technology may also be undertaken as a double degree with the Bachelor of Business and Technology (four years full-time or equivalent).
The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.
The course has been designed to provide graduates with:
The course provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in a computing related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.
On completion of the award, students will be able to:
On completion of the Bachelor of Information Technology, students will be eligible for professional membership of the Australian Computer Society.
To qualify for the Bachelor of Information Technology, a student must complete 108 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the program of study below.
Electives may be selected from any topics offered by the University at the appropriate year level, provided entry and course requirements are met and that no more than 45 units of First Year topics are included in the 108-unit program.
Not all topics are necessarily available in a given year.
Students achieving a credit level average or better at the end of third year will be eligible to enrol in the honours degree program in Information Technology - a separate one-year award focussing on advanced information technology coursework, plus a research project.
