Diploma of Information Technology (3 Trimesters), Leading to Bachelor of Information Technology

Program Overview

Diploma of Information Technology

Our Diploma of Information Technology is an 8-unit course taught over two or three trimesters. It has been designed as a pathway to a Bachelor of Information Technology (Business Information Systems) degree for domestic and international students. It will also equip you with an AQF Level 5 qualification, which helps you launch a career in a variety of IT areas with confidence, or improve your employability for career advancement opportunities.

This course is suited to you if you:

  • Don't have the desired results to gain entry to a Bachelor of Information Technology degree
  • Launch a career in a variety of IT areas with a nationally recognised qualification
  • Improve your employability to advance your career

 

Upon successful completion of this course, you will receive an AQF Level 5 qualification. You’ll be guaranteed entry into the second year of a Bachelor of Information Technology degree at Murdoch University.


Leading to: Bachelor of Information Technology

If you love the idea of a career in computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, software development, games and game engine development, virtual and augmented reality or information systems, this is the qualification you need.

Designed by world-class academics in close consultation with industry advisors, this course offers you an excellent step toward launching your career.

In this course, you will learn to solve complex real-world IT problems and you will explore the theory, methods and systems used in the information technology industry, from mobile apps and virtual reality, artificial intelligence and machine learning, practical software engineering to corporate website architecture and global information systems.

You can choose a double major within this IT course or combine this course with another major or degree to specialise in two areas of study, giving you a competitive edge. For example, you might choose to add a business or a law degree to this Bachelor of Information Technology degree. The course structure would enable you to acquire strong analytical, research, design and technology skills combined with a very strong background in software design and programming.

As a Murdoch student, you'll have access to great scholarships like the $15,000 Westpac Young Technologists Scholarship Program, which can lead to networking opportunities with industry professionals and career opportunities before you graduate.
