Bachelor of Information Technology (Dean's Scholar)

The Bachelor of Information Technology (Dean's Scholar) offers a challenging and enriched educational experience for high-achieving students who want to perform above the level normally expected. As a Dean's Scholar student, you will also be encouraged to continue your studies through the completion of Honours and research programs. You will complete the normal course requirements for the degree, and receive special privileges as you study, such as accelerated learning and academic mentoring. You will study real-world projects and interact with and learn from industry professionals to ensure your job readiness upon graduation.

How do you design and create the IT systems we all rely on? What's next in the technology revolution across communication, business and the way we experience the world? On completion, you will be able to answer these questions and more as you are prepared to make a positive impact on student learning.

You will benefit from faculty who are some of the best in their fields of this specialised profession. You will learn core fundamentals across information technology, computer science, and information systems in the first year of your degree before deciding which major discipline to focus on from the second year. For students who do not wish to specialise with a major, you will complete advanced subjects providing you with specific knowledge while also instilling you with professional knowledge and skills in information technology. In your final year you will develop your own application as part of an annual student team project, developing solutions to real-world problems provided by our industry partners. Throughout this degree, you will gain hands-on experience, make meaningful professional connections and have the opportunity for practical placements where you'll develop your skills in a real-world setting.
