Bachelor of Information Technology

What is this course about?

CSU's Bachelor of Information Technology is designed to equip graduates with the skills and attributes required to be effective and efficient information technology professionals.

About the course

Information is the new global currency. Information allows citizens to make informed decisions, provides business with its competitive advantage, and creates the opportunity to develop new knowledge and insights. The amount of new information (including text, video and audio) that is generated daily is in the order of three exabytes, or one billion billion bytes. The demand for highly-skilled knowledge workers to process, manipulate and analyse this ever-growing mountain of information has never been greater. The Bachelor of Information Technology will provide you with the essential skills to take your place as a knowledge worker in the information technology industry.

The Bachelor of Information Technology core component covers principles fundamental to the information systems and computing discipline such as databases, data communications, systems analysis and design, information security and project work, plus emerging directions that prepare students to undertake an IT major or specialisation from a specified list.

International students may study the Bachelor of Information Technology through CSU regional campuses or the CSU Study Centre Sydney or Melbourne. An intake in Session 3 is available for Study Centres only.

As with all our courses, the Bachelor of Information Technology is designed and delivered with study flexibility in mind. Our students choose between full-time and part-time study options to fit in with work and lifestyle commitments. You could choose to study just one subject in an academic session or, with approval, fast-track degree completion by undertaking four subjects per session.
