Program Summary

If considering a move into a career in ICT but concerned about a lack of knowledge and experience in this field will hinder career prospects, this course has everything students need to forge a successful career in IT.

No matter a student's background, this course has been designed around those with no formal study or employment background in IT.
In this course students will get to explore the key areas of the ‘Skills Framework for the Information Age’ and gain a comprehensive and thorough understanding of software technology and engineering practice.

Highly flexible, this course also covers the fine details of database design and engineering management and offers a variety of delivery modes to help students balance their study with other commitments, including weekday classes during business hours and in the evenings.

As part of UC’s commitment to Work Integrated Learning (WIL), students will also get the opportunity to undertake an internship within a professional organisation, which will help them gain necessary practical skills and improve their chances of securing an ideal IT job.

This course offers the chance to specialise in either Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Data Science, IoT & Robotics Network Technologies and Project Management.
