Overview

Bachelor of Information Technology

The Bachelor of Information Technology at CQUniversity is a highly practical degree that will equip you with a broad foundation of IT knowledge and skills and embeds work-integrated learning opportunities to prepare you for a successful career in the information technology (IT) industry. 

Designed with input from industry partners, you benefit from innovative, up-to-date, industry-relevant units and in-built practical experiences.

During your studies, your core units will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of key IT and computer-based systems areas. 

From your second term, you will begin to study units from your chosen major - Application Development, Business Analysis or Cyber Security.

Your studies culminate in a project or internship in your final year. 

If you choose the capstone project unit, you will work with other students as a team requiring the production of project management artefacts typically required of a small-scale commercial project appropriate to your major. 

Alternatively, you may wish to apply for an internship, which can be undertaken instead of completing the project.

With options to study on-campus or online, you benefit from the flexibility to learn how and when it suits you.
