Overview

Master of Information and Communication Technology

Industry experts have carefully designed La Trobe's Master of Information and Communication Technology. 

Accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), the course prepares you for a successful career in the fast-growing information and communication technology (ICT) industry.

Dive straight into the booming world of ICT. Start by honing your fundamental skills in network engineering, programming, web and network security and entrepreneurship in information technology. 

Then, focus on more specialised topics like campus network design, wireless networking engineering and project management.

Build out your expertise with a mix of electives, from artificial intelligence to virtual reality to Internet of Things programming. 

La Trobe's supportive staff can help you tailor your degree to your career goals.

Put your new knowledge into practice. 

You'll have the option of applying your skills to either an industry project – alongside one of the industry partners – or a research project in your final year. 

Get an edge with a CISCO CCNA certification as part of your studies (required for many networking jobs worldwide) and complete other industry certifications through industry partnerships.

From day one, you'll have access to the on-campus specialist labs, where you can practise your networking and software development skills using industry-standard facilities.

Throughout your degree, you'll develop skills in entrepreneurship, professional and ethical practices and project management – transferable skills you can apply to roles in any industry.
