This course will prepare students for work in the information technology industry at the highest levels. It will prepare the students with the advanced knowledge, understanding and skills to enable them to deal effectively with advanced issues involving the application of information technology.
The objective of the early (core) parts of the course is to educate students with a previous tertiary qualification in another discipline area to the level of a computing professional.
On successful completion of the core, students will have gained fundamental knowledge in the following areas:
and will have demonstrated their ability to work in a group to analyse the requirements for a computer system, design a system to meet those requirements, create the system and its documentation, train the system users and implement the system.
In the advanced, later part of the course, successful students will have:
A degree that is equivalent to an Australian bachelors degree, not necessarily in an IT-related discipline. A Year 11 (or equivalent) mathematics background is desirable. Special pathways into postgraduate coursework studies exist for students who have appropriate work experience. Such students may apply for entry into the MAIT after completing either the Monash Executive Certificate in Information Technology or the Monash Professional Certificate in Information Technology.
* Subject to approval.
The course consists of 16 units, each of six credit points to a total of 96 credit points. It consists of a core of four units from group 1 in the first stage, compulsory project/case study and a choice of electives from a large collection of units from group 2 in the second stage, and a minimum of four units from group 3 in the third stage.
