Prepare for a career in an ever-changing and booming industry. With us, you’ll delve into exciting and challenging areas like cyber security, the Internet of Things, game design and applications development. And you’ll gain vital skills in fields such as data science and artificial intelligence – skills that are highly desired by employers in a range of current and emerging industries.

Uniquely, our Bachelor of Information Technology combines a person-centred approach with high-level technical expertise, so you’ll gain cutting-edge professional knowledge as well as the broader skills to make a positive impact in society. In the classroom, you’ll explore critical areas in an interactive environment with IT experts, and graduate prepared for a myriad of careers.

Professional experience

You will be required to complete a compulsory Community Engagement unit featuring between 35 and 70 volunteer hours, and have the option of completing a work integrated learning unit consisting of up to 150 hours.

Work placement

All students will undertake work integrated learning and industry-driven projects throughout their IT degree.

In addition, through our engagement placement you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the contributions of social enterprises with 35-70 hours of volunteering with a not-for-profit organisation.

Then with your Work Integrated Learning (WIL) unit you’ll bridge the gap between academic studies and the real world of work by completing up to 150 hours of learning activities that allow you to apply your academic learning in a ‘real-life’ environment provided by an industry partner or a University organisation working on a real project. WIL strengthens your essential job-ready skills and experiences and provides you with the opportunity to learn about workplace culture, prepare for the future world of work, develop professional networks and build your employability skills. WIL may be conducted on or off campus, face-to-face or online, and paid or unpaid. Each student is jointly supervised by an academic supervisor and a placement supervisor.
