Kent’s Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) is designed to help meet this future industry need. Kent also offers a Cyber Security specialisation in the Bachelor of Information degree. This specialisation was developed to meet the increasing demand within the sector for qualified ICT Security specialists. A recent case study published by the Australian Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, Meeting demand for cyber security expertise (2018), noted that the Cyber Security Growth Centre (AustCyber) has identified a critical shortage of skilled cyber security graduates. Specifically, it was estimated that Australian industry will need at least 11,000 additional workers over the next decade just to meet existing demand. As a result, cybersecurity has emerged as a vital, rapidly growing field of employment.

The Bachelor of Information Technology course is excellent for students who would like to broaden their Information Technology career prospects. In specific, it appeals to aspiring ICT professionals, as the knowledge gained and skills developed and practiced are in individual and small team learning environments, hence equipping graduates for roles in a business environment such as analyst programmer, web developer, database administrator, business analyst, software and applications programmer, systems analyst and ICT security specialist.
