COURSE CURRICULUM

The indicative sequence for the Bachelor of Information Technology for Semester 1, 2026 provides a structured framework for students to develop core computing knowledge, specialised skills, and professional experience. Students are advised to use the study plan template available via their student portal alongside their course planner to organise their studies, noting that the sequence may vary depending on advanced standing or exemptions and that unit offerings may change over time. The core units are designed to build a strong foundation in programming, systems, networking, and project-based computing. In the first year, students study Computer Systems, Introduction to Programming, Web Technology Project, and Technology in an Indigenous Context Project, followed by Object Oriented Programming and Networks and Switching in subsequent semesters. These units equip students with essential technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and practical experience in computing technologies.The program also integrates professional placement opportunities to provide real-world industry experience. Students may choose a major 12-month placement, which includes Work Experience in Industry A and B alongside Integrated Professional Placement A and B in Information and Communication Technology, or a minor six-month placement covering Work Experience in Industry A and Integrated Professional Placement A. These placements allow students to apply theoretical knowledge in professional settings, develop industry-relevant skills, and build professional networks, enhancing career readiness.In the later stages of the program, students complete Computing Technology Project A and B, which consolidate learning through applied, project-based work. These projects provide opportunities to demonstrate technical proficiency, project management, and collaborative problem-solving skills, preparing graduates for complex challenges in technology and software development environments. By combining foundational units, advanced projects, and professional placements, the program ensures students acquire the technical knowledge, practical experience, and professional competencies required to succeed in software development, computing technology, and digital innovation roles across a variety of industries.
