Bachelor of Information Technology

Townsville

Information Technology embraces the use of the computer, telecommunications and office systems technologies, for the collection, processing, storage, packaging and dissemination of information.

The Bachelor of Information Technology provides considerable breadth and depth in Computer Science, as well as intermediate studies in Mathematics and Statistics, Commerce, Management, Geographical Information Systems and Computer Systems Engineering.

Following a review of Information Technology, it is possible that the existing Bachelor of Computing and Bachelor of Information Technology degrees will be renamed and new Bachelor of Information Technology and Bachelor of Applied Information Technology degrees introduced.
