Information Technology
Master of Information Technology
Course code: 2402 + Caulfield, Clayton, Gippsland and Peninsula + Course leaders: Dr Maria Indrawan (Caulfield, Clayton); Dr Kai Ming Ting (Gippsland, off-campus) + Part-time for a minimum of three years or full-time for a minimum of 18 months (three semesters)
The Master of Information Technology is a cooperative program offered by all the schools of the Faculty of Information Technology. The course provides a broad program in information technology, enabling students to select specific areas for in-depth study or to construct a program from a range of suitably advanced units.
The program aims to:
- provide the conceptual and theoretical framework in which students can appreciate and integrate new software and hardware technologies, and, within an information technology context, use them to develop solutions to complex problems in our society
- deepen students' theoretical knowledge in specific areas so that they will have the intellectual and conceptual foundation to play leading roles in the development of the information technology industry.
The course is available either part-time for a minimum of three years or full-time for a minimum of 18 months (three semesters).
Entry requirements
The normal entry requirement is a degree that is equivalent to an Australian bachelors degree in computing, computer science or a technical information technology field.
Advanced standing
Generally, students who have completed similar units in previous studies will normally be required to make substitutions. Credit will only be granted for postgraduate units that have not counted for the award of any other degree or diploma. Where credit is granted, the number of elective units that may be taken outside the list of approved information technology postgraduate units may be reduced.
Course structure
The course consists of 72 points of coursework units plus the 0-point FIT9001 unit. The requirement to complete FIT9001 only applies to on-campus students. The 72 points may include six or 12 points of individual project work or can comprise 48 points of units plus a 24 points minor thesis.
Of the units taken, at least eight (48 points) must be taken from the graduate units (fourth and fifth-year level) offered by the Faculty of Information Technology. At least four units (24 points) must be taken from units at a fifth-year level. Up to four units (24 points) may be taken from graduate units offered by other faculties at Monash, with approval from the course coordinator. With the approval of the course coordinator, up to two foundation (9000) units in addition to FIT9001 may be taken. FIT9001 is a 0-point unit and must be taken during the first semester of study. Completion of FIT9001 is required before students can enrol into their second semester of studies (subject to approval).
