Caulfield School of Information Technology

The Caulfield School of Information Technology occupies a unique position within the Faculty of Information Technology. The school encompasses a wide range of disciplines, from the technical and applied, through to the social science end of the information technology spectrum. This diversity is reflected in the range of options available for postgraduate study. The school has a clear focus on the real world application of information technology in meeting the demands of today’s dynamic and global business environments.

The Caulfield School of Information Technology offers in particular to prospective students the ability to either build on their existing knowledge of IT or gain a first qualification at postgraduate level. A key factor in the postgraduate degrees offered at Caulfield is flexibility of course structure. Students have the ability to generalise across areas of the IT spectrum from business IT through to technical IT, specialise through a professional track (which is formally recognised via a Faculty certificate) or create their own customised program by tailoring the course to suit their needs and those of prospective employers. Many classes are offered in the evening, increasing accessibility for those students currently in the workforce.
