Master of Information Technology

The Master of Information Technology (MIT) is designed to enable those with a degree in non IT areas to developskills and knowledge that will allow them to enter the field of information technology. Students entering theMaster of Information Technology from cognate bachelor degrees (e.g. bachelor degree in IT or Computer Science)are eligible for potential unit substitution for one or more of the foundational units within the course. Thecourse provides a solid base in all of the key foundational and important areas of IT, and provides theopportunity for students to specialise and develop deep knowledge within specific areas of IT.

There are two electives in the MIT, oneof which can be from a field other than IT.
