Information & Communication Technology

The Bachelor of Information Technology is a flexible course which provides students with the opportunity to study majors including software technology and systems management. The course’s emphasis is on knowledge and skills needed for a wide variety of employment positions in IT. Many of the core units are common across the majors allowing students some options to change majors during their first year with minimal additional units. Each of the majors provides students with an opportunity to study a range of co-majors, minors and IT electives to complement or extend their major studies. The choices of co-majors and minors include options from all disciplines across Swinburne. The acquired skills and knowledge are consolidated both in a project subject in the final semester of the program and an optional industry-based learning year.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) will be exposed to curriculum and learning activities that will develop these attributes, interpreted within an IT context, as well as those generic attributes that form a requirement of the Australian Computer Society.
