About
The use of IT systems in modern organisations is now ubiquitous. As these IT systems become ever-more sophisticated, the need for highly trained IT professionals across all sectors is becoming more urgent. However, there’s currently a global talent shortage of about 40 million skilled tech workers. This means IT professionals – especially software and applications programmers, database and systems administrators, ICT business and systems analysts, and ICT security specialists – are in high demand.
The Master of Information Technology has been specially designed to train those who have an undergraduate qualification in an area other than IT how to harness the power of technology to solve complex problems and drive innovation across a range of industries. The first year of the degree is an accelerated equivalent of an IT bachelor degree and the second year is structured around advanced units, so you’ll graduate with a specialised, competitive and transferrable skillset that will help you fast track your career in this booming field.
Undertake one of three in-demand specialisations: Study Applied Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security or Information Systems and develop focused sought-after expertise.
