** Capstone subject for this course
Master of Information Technology (16 subjects)
The Master degree consists of the Graduate Diploma requirements as set out above and
Completion of four (4) subjects in the same specialisation will allow graduation with a particular specialisation - e.g., Master of Information Technology (Network Security). Completion of four (4) subjects across specialisations will allow graduation with a generic Master of Information Technology
Note: It is possible to graduate with two specialisations by undertaking four subjects from two distinct specialisations. Subjects that are counted towards one specialisation may not be counted towards another. All students must undertake the capstone subject ITC571 Emerging Technologies and Innovation, regardless of whether they study 0, 1 or more specialisations.

** Capstone subject for this course
Because of the flexibility of the course requirements, there is no prescribed enrolment pattern. Students may choose the order in which they undertake subjects, depending upon the availability of subjects and the meeting of any prerequisites or assumed knowledge. Students are encouraged to enrol in core subjects in the initial sessions and complete as many of these as possible before selecting specialisation subjects.
The Australian Computer Society (ACS) accredits courses in Information Technology to verify that they meet professional standards in terms of content, staff skills, teaching facility and quality assurance. The Master of Information Technology (with specialisations) is accredited at the Professional level by the ACS provided at least one specialisation is completed. Students who commence in 2018 and graduate without a specialisation will graduate from a CSU degree that has not been accredited by the Australian Computer Society.
For any enquiries about subject selection or course structure please contact Student Central or ask@csu.edu.au or phone on 1800 275 278.
