Scope
The Bachelor of Information Technology is based on a number of core units, which cover the fundamentals of information technology, such as World Wide Web (WWW) technology, design techniques for multimedia and the internet, Java programming, software engineering, electronic data interchange and networks. The focus is on fundamental concepts which enable students to become skilled IT professionals. These core units are complemented by elective studies.
There is a balance between specific knowledge of particular development tools (languages, operating systems, development environments) and general lifelong learning skills which ensure that graduates are able to remain at the forefront of this vibrant and rapidly developing sector.
