Bachelor of Information Technology
Course code: 3350 + course abbreviation: BIT + Total
credit points required: 144 + 3 years full-time, 6 years part-time
On-campus (Gippsland; Malaysia)
Off-campus (Gippsland)
The
course aims to produce graduates who satisfy the computing needs of industry,
government and business. Students develop theoretical and practical knowledge
of computer technologies, programming, and information systems analysis and
design.
Students also have the option of combining majors to form a double major.
Formal
entry requirements are detailed in the section on entry level in this guide.
For the Bachelor of Information Technology, students are required to have
completed a Year 12 program equivalent to the Victorian Certificate of
Education with a study score of at least 20 in units 3 and 4 English (any) and
mathematics (any).
Students
take one or more of three majors, each with a different focus. The system
development major focuses on the analysis of user requirements and the design,
development and management of computer-based information systems and
applications. The business systems major focuses on the use of computers and
information systems to solve complex problems in business and government
organisations. Students graduate with a capacity to relate their university
studies to the world of business. The network technology major focuses on the
technologies, use, design and development of networked systems and applications
in industry, business and government.
Students
must complete the course requirements as specified below (see also the course
map (5) for the relevant major at the back of IT faculty section in this
handbook).
