MIT Courses 

The Melbourne Institute of Technology is a modern, dynamic and innovative institution which provides high-quality education in English language, Business and Information Technology, together with friendly, efficient and personalised service.

All student needs are attended to on an individual basis, including airport pick up and accommodation, settling into life in Melbourne, and introducing the services and facilities of MIT.  

Through its association with the University of Ballarat (the third oldest tertiary institution in Australia, whose origins go back to 1870), MIT is able to offer a full range of courses at its central city campus.

The University of Ballarat Bachelor, Graduate Diploma and Master’s programs in Business and Information Technology are conducted  at MIT Melbourne Campus.

Our fast-track three semester system enables students to undertake three semesters of study in one calendar year, if they wish to do so. 

At MIT classes consist of small groups. This provides students with maximum opportunity for individual guidance by lecturers, as well as encouraging participation and developing student confidence.

There is one-on-one tuition and extra support classes for students who may be experiencing learning difficulties.

Teaching Methods

The teaching methods consist of seminars, lectures, tutorials, laboratory sessions and group discussions: these are augmented by visiting speakers and guest lecturers from industry.
The most common approach for Certificate IV is lectures followed by tutorials and group discussions on specific topics; for Diploma, it is lectures followed by tutorials and group discussions (business subjects) or extensive practical laboratory work (information technology subjects).
 

Assessment Methods

Assessment methods vary from subject to subject. General policy is to require 3 or 4 assessment tasks for each subject, which may take the form of practical, written or oral presentation, or examination, as determined by the MIT Academic Coordinators to be appropriate for each particular subject. Other criteria which may contribute to overall assessment are: assignments, class participation, class tests, group work, on-the-job training, critiques, case study analyses, homework, one-on-one interview with the lecturer (programming subjects), field study (based on excursion), literature searches, role plays, demonstrations and continuous assessment exercises.

The specific requirements for each subject are contained in the subject guides distributed to students upon enrolment.

To pass a subject, students are required to complete all assessment tasks and achieve an overall mark of at least 50%.
