The world is drawing closer together. As the speed and quality of digital technologies continues to evolve, it is required more passionate professionals who can create meaningful solutions and connections.
Designed to help students build their digital future, La Trobe's Bachelor of Information Technology equips them with skills across programming, networking, databases, systems analysis and design, and project management.
Along with building a strong set of core IT skills students can choose to major in one of several areas aligned to future industry growth including artificial intelligence, cloud analytics, cybersecurity, network engineering or information systems.
Students will broaden their knowledge and capabilities further through a wide range of electives, and combine their core IT skills with business, social sciences, humanities, web engineering, computer technology, security and information systems analysis subjects. Plus they could develop a software program of their own, which they could present at the annual Engineering and IT Showcase to potential employers.
With industry-based projects and CISCO certification embedded in the course, students will receive professional mentoring opportunities as they build career ready skills. They'll also gain access to the expert research centers, including the Centre for Technology Infusion and the state-of-the-art Technology Innovation Lab for the Internet of Things – developed in collaboration with Microsoft and CISCO.
