About this program
Box Hill Institute's Bachelor of Information Technology, CRICOS 107931A, is a 3 year degree structured around 12 core units, 8 major specialist subjects and 4 electives drawn from specialisation streams in cyber security, network security, cloud computing, virtualisation, systems administration, network administration, IoT and emerging digital technologies. The course is accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), Australia's professional body for the technology sector.
Box Hill delivers the degree in partnership with Microsoft, AWS and Cisco, with students working in specialist laboratories on industry standard software and hardware. Teaching draws on real world projects and industry standard technologies so students graduate with a portfolio of work they can show future employers, rather than a purely theoretical grounding.
Graduates are expected to be able to apply IT and cyber security principles to complex problems, design and evaluate technology solutions, work independently and in multidisciplinary teams, and communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences, aimed at roles including cyber security analyst, ICT security specialist, cloud administrator, network administrator, systems administrator and IT consultant. Applicants who have completed the Diploma in Information Technology (ICT50220) are eligible for eight subjects (one year) of credit recognition.
