Bachelor of Information Technology

The Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) aims to provide theoretical and practical knowledge of the role of information technology professionals within the enterprise environment. The BIT can be completed in three years studying full time and is an AQF level 7 qualification. Within the course, students can choose to major in digital transformation, cyber security or business information systems. Information technology professionals hold specialised technological knowledge and skills in order to effectively run their own business. They also work with organisations and businesses to set up viable computer systems and networks and provide continued support and troubleshooting when needed. This may include working with firewalls, media storage devices, databases, intranets, websites, servers, the internet, or anything else related to computers. The BIT course structure and content have been carefully aligned to Australian Computer Society (ACS) requirements to cater for theoretical and practical knowledge for careers including ICT business analysts, ICT managers, software and applications programmers, ICT security specialist and systems analysts. The course structure and content are aligned with the ACS CBoK V3.2, and the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). The mapping of the ACS CBoK V3.2 as well as underpinning SFIA against specified graduate professional roles assures course deliverables align with current industry standards and needs. Over the entire course, students will acquire the necessary graduate attributes to distinguish them and help them become industry-ready.[112836B]
