Master Of Information Technology

 

(2 years; AQF Level 9; CRICOS Course Code: 109117D)

The Master of Information Technology (MIT) brings students with a comprehensive understanding of information technology while also an opportunity focusing on specialised technical, theoretical or management areas through the choice of one of four major areas of study available at AITC, i.e., Software Development, Network and Security, Database and Artificial Intelligence or Multimedia Computing. The MIT has an emphasis on professional practice, effective communication, and project management using technical and non-technical approaches. MIT has an emphasis on professional practice, effective communication, and project management using technical and non-technical approaches. Students will acquire an extensive knowledge and apply this to successfully design, implement and manage solutions to address complex real- world IT applications, and become confident to use the latest technologies in the IT domain, career development and advancement and entrepreneurship. The Master degree is designed for not only those who have limited computing experiences and are seeking a qualification in Information Technology, but also candidates who already have a sound IT background and wish to update and develop their knowledge and skills in a specialised field of advanced computing, so that they are abreast of the rapid changes in technology and business.

To qualify for the award of the degree of Master of Information Technology, a candidate:

  • Must complete 4 common core units for any specialisation;
  • Must complete 6 specialisation core units;
  • Must complete at least 4 units from specialisation’s 6 specific electives;
  • Must complete 1 compulsory capstone unit.
