TEACHING PERIODS (previously referred to as
“Semesters”) and STUDY PERIODS
The academic year is divided into two Teaching
Periods (1 January to 30 June and 1 July to 31 December). Teaching
Periods (TP) were previously known as semesters. Within the two
Teaching Periods are 12 main study periods. Each Study Period (SP)
has a designated start and end date, census date, date for withdrawal
without academic penalty, and date for release of subject results.
The majority of subjects will fall in either Study Period 1 (SP1)
or Study Period 2 (SP2). Block Mode subjects (levels 2 to 5) may
fall in Study Periods 3 to 11.
Townsville, CairnsConcern about our impact on the environment
has resulted in a dramatic expansion in the need for investigation
and monitoring of the environment and the impact of human activities.
The Bachelor of Applied Science provides the ideal platform for
careers in environmental science or management, working in areas
such as protected area management, environmental impact assessment
and restoration of degraded land. These programs conform with draft accreditation
requirements of the Environment Institute of Australia.

TownsvilleAdvances in genetic engineering, cell
culture, molecular biology and agriculture have rapidly generated
new applications for biological products, and an increasing variety
of job opportunities in the field. This field is now seen as a solid
career option by domestic and overseas students, and the establishment
of a biotechnology degree allows JCU to focus its existing subject
offerings and position itself as a provider of cutting-edge science
in the region.

Townsville; Cairns (level 1 studies only)Multiple combinations are possible between
any major of engineering and most of the BSc majors. See Associate
Dean for details.
Modern business and society are increasingly
computer reliant. In recent years the Internet, the WWW and computer
networks have become essential everyday business tools. The people
who make these computer systems work are called Information Technology
(IT) professionals. Not surprisingly, the IT industry is one of
the world’s prestige industries and IT graduates can expect exciting
and rewarding careers, anywhere in the world.
The BInfTech course features a unique-to-JCU
program of real IT work experience on real IT industry projects,
and all BInfTech students can choose to participate. A private company,
NQ-ITX (North Queensland IT eXperience), has been established by
students and staff of the School of IT to provide advanced level
industry experience and business skilling. All NQ-ITX involvement
builds the student’s CV, skills and job readiness. Students will
emerge from their studies with an uncommon level of business and
IT skills, ready for employment or ready to create their own ICT
intensive business. Project work within NQ-ITX provides:
project work within project teams that counts
towards BInfTech project subjects;
real work experience
on real industry jobs giving critical hard-core IT skills;
the demands of meeting
real deadlines and satisfying real performance measures give operational
business skills for real people and project management skills.
This degree prepares students for work in a
wide range of IT intensive industries. It combines a solid basis
of computing theory with practical knowledge and skills in software
(languages), software engineering, multimedia, databases and networking.
Specialisation is provided in the nine majors of Industry Professional,
Bioinformatics, Business Computing, General Computing, E-business
Entrepreneurship, Computer Technology, Specific Application, Geographic
Information Systems and Multimedia Game Development.
Please note that you should follow the subjects
set out in your major for the year you STARTED that major, eg if
you transferred into BInfTech (Industry Professional) in 2003 you
are required to look up the 2003 major on the School of Information
Technology website to select your subjects. If some subjects have
been discontinued and you have any problems please contact the School
of Information Technology.
For this rapidly changing field, prior to enrolment
students are advised to verify subject and course specifications
from the school web site, www.it.jcu.edu.au.
Note that the testamur for a Bachelor of Information
Technology does not show the major studied.
