UNDERGRADUATE

Bachelor of Information Technology

The Bachelor of Information Technology will provide you with the skills to solve, support, troubleshoot and design everything from web sites to business applications to programming networks for a wide range of public and private organisations.

Degree Details

  • 1. Enabling Knowledge

    You will gain skills as you apply knowledge effectively in diverse contexts.

    2. Critical Analysis

    You will learn to accurately and objectively examine and consider computer science and information technology (IT) topics, evidence, or situations, in particular to:

    • Analyse and model requirements and constraints for the purpose of designing and implementing software artefacts and IT systems
    • Evaluate and compare designs of software artefacts and IT systems on the basis of organisational and user requirements.

    3. Problem Solving

    Your capability to analyse problems and synthesise suitable solutions will be extended as you learn to:

    • Design and implement software solutions that accommodate specified requirements and constraints, based on analysis or modelling or requirements specification.

    4. Communication

    You will learn to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences through a range of modes and media, in particular to:

    • Present a clear, coherent and independent exposition of software applications, alternative IT solutions, and decision recommendations to both IT and non-IT personnel via technical reports of professional standard and technical presentations.

    5. Team Work

    You will learn to work as an effective and productive team member in a range of professional and social situations, in particular to:

    • Work effectively in different roles, to form, manage, and successfully produce outcomes from teams, whose members may have diverse cultural backgrounds and life circumstances, and differing levels of technical expertise.

    6. Responsibility

    You will be required to accept responsibility for your own learning and make informed decisions about judging and adopting appropriate behaviour in professional and social situations. This includes accepting the responsibility for independent life-long learning. Specifically, you will learn to:

    • Effectively apply relevant standards, ethical considerations, and an understanding of legal and privacy issues to designing software applications and IT systems.

Graduates select and deploy software products for commercial organisations, software development companies, government departments and large computer organisations. They create and manage business applications, websites, systems and environments. 

Graduates typically work for commercial organisations, software development companies or diverse industries including retail, health or tourism as well as government departments and large computer organisations including IBM, Telstra and ANZ.

The types of careers this qualification leads to may include:

  • systems analyst
  • business analyst
  • analyst programmer
  • application programmer
  • software tester
  • database administrator
  • systems administrator
  • web developer.

You must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 or an equivalent senior secondary school qualification with a minimum average of 65% (see calculator below).

Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognised post secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.

Meeting the minimum academic requirements does not guarantee entry. Your application will still need to be assessed and accepted.

Credit may reduce the duration of your study by acknowledging your earlier, relevant study experience.

When you are submitting an application, please indicate that you want to be considered for credit and provide detailed course syllabus (also known as course outline), outlining volume of learning, course content and weekly topics, learning objectives/outcomes, assessment types and their weightings, and reference to the learning resources such as prescribed textbooks and recommended readings.
