Program Learning Outcomes Statement

The program allows you to develop both generic business and specific business information systems capabilities through experiential learning to meet current and future expectations of employers. By applying real and relevant knowledge, the program is aimed at developing you as a highly skilled, “well-rounded” ICT professional.

The courses in the first year are designed to introduce you to the basic concepts that underpin the systems, information technology and application development areas of the program. These understandings are developed within an ethical framework throughout the program. You are engaged in problem-based learning within a business context and gaining familiarity with a number of tools and techniques used by the ICT professional.  Tutorials encourage informal communication and team-based learning; together with reference to study and learning skills development.

The second year courses continue to build on the foundations created in year 1 but now seek to integrate a number of concepts in business applications. Co-operative Work Preparation Workshops are run in the second year students in preparation for the 3rd year of the program. In the co-op year you will apply your learning from the first 2 years of the program, to work effectively with people; and further developing interpersonal and social skills.

The final year of the program is considered the specialisation and consolidation year. Students are encouraged to select electives that allow them to specialise in an area of interest. The final year courses are designed to build on the knowledge and experiences of the first 3 years and prepare the student for the next stage of their careers as ICT Professionals.
