As technology increasingly becomes more critical to business performance, there is a growing demand for IT graduates with technical and business expertise.
The Master of Information Technology at UOW is designed to provide the skills to develop an in-depth study of the organisational, economic, regulatory and socio-technical issues that arise in implementing IT in business and government.
You will also learn how to manage those issues effectively.
It is suitable for those without an IT background seeking to develop the fundamental skills required to work in the sector or to undertake a management role in which an understanding of IT implementation is essential.
You will be introduced to fundamental concepts and core topics such as programming, data management, project management, strategic network design, data mining and big data, knowledge engineering, professionalism and ethics, and security essentials.
You will complete a capstone subject comprising either a research project or an individual professional project where you will apply theoretical knowledge in practical situations and tackle real-world problems often provided by industry partners.
You can choose to specialise in one of the specialisations available at the Wollongong campus during your second year of study, or you have the option to continue without selecting one.
