About this course

The Bachelor of Information Technology will equip you with the skills and knowledge for a successful career in the information technology (IT) industry.

Designed with input from our industry partners, benefit from innovative, up-to-date and industry-relevant units, as well as in-built practical experiences.

During the course, you can choose to major in Application Development, Business Analysis or Cyber Security, all of which include completion of a project in the final year. This project is team-based and requires the production of project management artefacts typically required of a small-scale commercial project appropriate to your major.

You will also have the opportunity to apply for an internship, which can be undertaken instead of completing the project.

The course offers you the flexibility to study on-campus or by online study, and either full-time or part-time.
