Bachelor of Technology (Computer Systems and Networking)

This Bachelor of Technology sits in the more hands-on end of Curtin's ICT offerings: hardware, networking (LANs and WANs specifically), network management, and Internet of Things content, with Python and Linux taught progressively from basics through to advanced application rather than assumed as prior knowledge. It's a more infrastructure-and-systems-focused degree than a standard software-development-flavoured IT degree, aimed at students who want to end up managing networks and infrastructure rather than writing application code full-time.

The course is explicit about industry certification alignment: Cisco and Amazon Web Services certifications are named targets the curriculum is built to prepare graduates for, which matters in a job market where certifications often carry as much weight as the degree title itself for network engineering and cloud infrastructure roles.

The professional practice requirement (minimum 8 weeks, logged formally) pushes students into real workplace exposure before graduation, and Curtin frequently pairs this degree with a Bachelor of Information Technology as a double degree for students who want both the networking depth and the broader IT/software coverage on one transcript.
