The Internet of Things is a fundamental driver of global change. The increasingly widespread use of smart devices for advanced data sharing is bringing communities together and reshaping industries.
La Trobe University's Master of Internet of Things (IoT) combines technical knowledge with practical learning to give students advanced programming and systems design skills.
Students will build the skills they need to succeed in a more connected future by studying the key components of IoT, including platforms, protocols and protection.
The first of its kind in Australia, La Trobe University's Master of IoT is grounded in industry practice. Students will have the opportunity to work on one of the university's many IoT technology projects like Clever Weather or the Long Range IoT Network.
For students who are dreaming of a research career, they can undertake an industry-based thesis in their final year.
During the degree students will have access to La Trobe University's state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and IoT research lab. Developed in collaboration with Microsoft and CISCO, it's one of the largest of its kind in Victoria.
Students will learn:
- IoT cloud data - Discover how cloud data can be used as tool for brainstorming and informed decision making.
- Industry impact of IoT technology - Learn how IoT can be used to improve and innovate sectors like healthcare, construction and mining.
- IoT programming and systems design - Work with IoT technology first-hand and produce a prototype IoT solution or system for a real-world industry partner.
- Security protocols and privacy risks - Gain an understanding of IoT security and privacy risks by analyzing the design of secure hardware and software.
The qualification awarded on graduation is recognized in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) as Level 9 - Masters Degree.
