Master of Information Technology in Computing

Program Overview

Design and build innovative solutions to the problems of tomorrow. Gain hands-on experience in information technology with advanced critical analysis skills and comprehensive knowledge of tools and technologies. Learn from leading industry experts who can develop your expertise in computing, business informatics, and interactive technologies and game design.

Expand your career and enhance your employability by gaining expert skills in Information Technology (IT) including computer programming, data analysis and multimedia. Learn how to identify and diagnose technical issues, create solutions and improve technical systems. As you study the fundamentals of problem-solving and programming, the importance of data modelling, and design and development, you’ll be equipped to help your current or future workplace run smoothly and innovatively.

In the Master of Information Technology degree, you will study four foundational subjects: Internet Fundamentals; Database Modelling; Problem Solving and Programming; and either Web Design and Development or e-Strategic Management. Students enrolled in Cairns and Townsville can major in Computing, while students enrolled in JCU Brisbane or JCU Singapore can also choose from a Business Informatics major and a Game Design major. The major you choose will support you in pursuing an IT career in the area that sparks your passion.

Put your knowledge and skills to the test as you work on a collaborative ICT project across two core subjects. Working together in teams, students select a project from industry, the local community, or the university research community and use various approaches to IT project management to discover what makes for best practice and results. You will develop strong collaborative and interpersonal skills, gain experience in problem-solving for complex issues, learn how to enhance project outcomes, and take a practical research project from proposal to presentation. Your project could be in the area of marketing, web development, game development, or another that your team may choose.
