The Master of Information Technology is an 18 month full-time programme that aims to enable students who have a bachelors degree in IT or computing to achieve a postgraduate level qualification in information technology.

This programme has been designed to produce IT graduates who are able to think critically and have a number of high level skills in IT field that can be applied in a wide range of IT situations.

The principles underlying the design of the MIT programme are similar to those in the Postgraduate Diploma in Information Technology, the Graduate Diploma in Information Technology and the Bachelor of Computing Systems.

Students entering the MIT programme will have completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Information Technology or have already completed an IT degree with a grade point average of at least a B.

This programme will:

• Deliver in-depth theoretical knowledge and an understanding of the information technology environment and professional practices
• Extend and deepen students’ knowledge and skills by building on undergraduate study in the IT and computing fields
• Facilitate current IT professionals in their career progression
• Build on students’ existing knowledge and skills through courses that combine project work, case studies, real-life simulations, and practical work experience
• Encourage flexibility that acknowledges the diversity of the IT environment and the diversity in learner interests and needs
