Undergraduate

Most graduates find employment in the Information Technology industry, and employers are particularly interested in people with personal communications skills as well as technical qualifications. Careers range from the 'user' side of the information industry (commercial or administrative enterprise) to the 'supply' side (computer system suppliers and software system constructors). With a higher degree, careers are available in research into computer systems and in sophisticated applications of computer systems.All students who complete the BInfTech degree are eligible for professional membership of the Australian Computer Society.

The BInfTech program with honours requires an additional year of study after the pass degree of Bachelor of Information Technology. Admission is by invitation based on performance in the best 48 units of 2000 and 3000 series Information Technology and Mathematics courses and generally requires an average performance at better than Credit level. The honours program includes advanced coursework and a major individual project worth 50% of the year. Honours grades are awarded on the result of the whole year's work.

2396 The Bachelor of Information Technology (BInfTech) is a three-year program that prepares graduates to enter the computing industry work force as novice practitioners to develop software or to apply computing in human organisations. The graduate attains the technical knowledge of fundamentals of computer systems, programming languages, computer applications, and information systems. The computing industry has always been subject to very rapid change, and so we also aim to prepare graduates to meet the changes in practice and in technology that will be met during their working careers. The graduate can enter the fields of software development and support, information systems development and support, or many other broad areas of choice in computing or general industry. The BInfTech program allows students to approach information technology from either a technical, constructive angle, starting with courses in programming, or from a conceptual, critical or information and organisational management angle. It widens the approach to computing to include the creative and conceptual touch, starting by applying scripting to the application area of new media (video and audio), rather than from learning traditional general purpose programming languages applied to algorithms. The technically oriented student can major in Computer Systems or Software Development; whereas the more conceptually oriented student can major in Information Systems or IT in New Media Arts. The Computer Systems major focuses on developing a sound knowledge in the area of computer systems, including distributed systems, networks and digital systems; the Software Development major aims to develop the conceptual and practical skills for software development and the technology of computer systems; the Information Systems major focuses on developing an understanding of organisations, the management of computer systems applications in them, and the accompanying systems analysis and design; and the IT in New Media Arts major focuses on the understanding and use of modern IT tools especially as applied to new media. All of the majors are founded on an introduction to the principles of programming, a broad perspective on the computing discipline and profession, and an introduction to the functional structure of computers. They also require a grounding in mathematics and theoretical computer science, which is a means of developing the ability to work with abstractions, a fundamental requirement for understanding and applying ideas in computing.All students who complete the BInfTech degree are eligible for professional membership of the Australian Computer Society.
