Top of pagePurpose of the Program
The objective of the Bachelor of Information Technology program is to enable you to develop the knowledge and skills that are essential to working as a competent software developer within the information technology industry.
This program educates you to build a career solving, supporting, troubleshooting and designing software– from web sites to business applications to programming networks – in organisations ranging from commercial businesses and government to schools, NGO's and more. You will gain an excellent combination of knowledge and practical, hands-on expertise to influence an organisation’s software infrastructure and the clients who use IT.
As a graduate of this program, you may be responsible for selecting and deploying software products appropriate for commercial organisations, software development companies, government departments and large computer organisations. You may also create and manage business applications, web sites, systems and environments.
This program allows you to do a minor stream of courses from one of the following areas: Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Mobile & Web Development, Cloud Technologies, and DevOps (Development & Operations). In addition to the core IT skills, these minor streams will assist you to attain skills useful in the workplace and adapt easily with the operational workflow of an enterprise.
This program involves a capstone programming project (COSC2502 Programming Project 1 and COSC2503 Programming Project 2) in the final (third) year of the program. The project will provide you with experience under supervision in the development lifecycle of a substantial piece of software - integrating practice and theory, or a pure research project to enable you to solve a real problem affecting the IT industry today or investigating an area of interest under supervision.
This program is delivered on campus; some courses may be available online.
