About this program
The Bachelor of Advanced Information Technology provides graduates with the necessary skills to pursue a career in Information Technology. A foundation of programming, data, networking and cyber security provides a solid base for later study. The majors focus on important current areas of Information Technology. Any pair of majors can be taken as a double major combination. Electives and flexible unit choice allow the majors to be complemented by more Information Technology study or by units from other disciplines. The emphasis in all majors is on concepts, insights and skills that enable graduates to use current technologies and to also evaluate and adapt to new technologies as they emerge. Central to the learning of the conceptual material is extensive practical experience where non-trivial problems are analysed, solutions designed and developed, both individually and in groups. A final-year industry-based group project in the PACE/capstone unit brings everything together to solve a real world problem. This is a Macquarie University (Sydney) course. This award is part of Macquarie's Bachelor of Information Technology course family, listed and administered together with the Bachelor of Information Technology on the university's official course page.
