Connect your career with the future
IT makes and breaks organisations worldwide. Businesses with more intuitive, high-performing systems leave competitors in their wake. But even market leaders risk losing customers by the thousands if they can’t maintain service levels.
Demand for professionals with exceptional IT design and management skills is rising. And our new Bachelor of Information Technology puts you squarely in employers’ sights.
What will you do
The degree is taught within a faculty ranked 43 in the world for computer science and engineering*. Leveraging the University’s strong industry links and world-class research, it features an emphasis on systems and business approaches, and design thinking. Majors are offered in either Cyber Security or Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
In addition to gaining a broad, application-based understanding of computer and information sciences, you’ll develop skills in:
evaluating and using IT methods, tools and processes in real-world contexts, complemented by the ability to integrate new and emerging technology
applying systems-thinking principles to manage and develop well-structured, maintainable and safe technological solutions
designing, making and studying large-scale distributed software systems, including parallel, mobile and cloud-based
advanced critical and independent thinking, and interpersonal communication.
Depending on your chosen major, you’ll also:
learn how to develop highly secure, complex IT systems
protect networks, data and software systems from attack and unlawful access
explore self-driving cars, robotic vision, machine learning and image recognition
understand how enterprise data and AI tools can be paired to improve productivity
apply cutting-edge data analysis techniques to large sets of data.
And both majors include a significant industry-focused project or internship.
Where could it take you
You could support organisations’ IT development and management in virtually any industry, anywhere in the world. From a premium European food producer to an Asian bank or Australian airline… From web computing and user experience in the US, to data science and information security in India… Countless paths will open.
