About this program
Monash's Bachelor of Information Technology teaches the application of computer-based technologies to meet individual and organisational information needs, spanning technical computing, games and interactive media through to information and business-focused IT applications, giving the degree genuine breadth across the discipline. Students build core IT knowledge alongside a major in their preferred area, with the option to take a second major either within IT or in a completely different discipline, letting graduates combine technical IT skills with expertise in another field entirely. Alongside technical content, the course builds generic skills including problem solving, project management, information literacy and teamwork that employers consistently look for in IT hires, and eligible students can apply for an industry-based learning placement to gain professional experience during their degree. It suits students who want a highly practical, career-focused IT qualification with the flexibility to specialise across technical, creative or business-facing IT applications depending on their interests.
