Overview

  • Learn to build and integrate practical tech solutions through an industry co-designed curriculum, using modern tools, labs and industry-standard platforms
  • Develop work-ready skills in problem-solving, teamwork and project management to succeed as a versatile IT professional across industries
  • Customise your learning through 3 majors and 8 minors in high-demand tech areas, preparing for diverse and evolving technology careers globally

Information technology is about turning technology into practical solutions that help organisations, communities and societies operate, innovate and grow. As digital transformation accelerates across industries, IT professionals are increasingly expected to combine technical expertise with business understanding and the ability to work effectively with diverse stakeholders.

Reflecting the breadth of the discipline, the program provides a strong foundation in computing while giving students the flexibility to shape their studies around their interests. Through a combination of majors, minors and electives, students can explore high-demand areas such as artificial intelligence, data science and cloud computing.

Learning is hands-on and industry-focused. Students apply their knowledge through practical projects, using modern tools, laboratories and industry-standard platforms, while developing business insights, project management and cross-cultural collaboration skills.

Supported by internationally recognised accreditation and strong industry connections, graduates have gone on to build careers with leading organisations in Vietnam and around the world, including NAB, ANZ, Intel and Bosch.

The Bachelor of Information Technology program is accredited at the professional level by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), a signatory to the Seoul Accord.

Graduates of ACS accredited programs are internationally recognised. For more information visit the ACS website.
