    Information Technology

    About

    This course covers fundamental programming and security skills of modern computing and computer networks, specialising in various aspects of distributed computing.

    You will use Python as a tool for learning network and other programming. Linux skills are taught throughout the course, starting with the basics and progressing to advanced topics.

    You'll develop a sound knowledge of computer systems and processes involved in software development and maintenance.

    This degree is designed to prepare you for careers in high-demand areas of computing. Curtin works closely with industry partners both to optimise course content and provide final-year placement opportunities to suitable students.

    If you perform well in the first year of this course you can apply to transfer to the Bachelor of Computing course. If you perform exceptionally well, you can apply to transfer to the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Computing) course, although acceptance is not automatic. In both cases, full credits will be transferred to the new course.

    Double degree options

    You can study a Bachelor of Information Technology as part of a double degree with a Bachelor of Technology (Computer Systems and Networking).

    See our handbook for more course information.

    Why study

    This course is designed to prepare you for careers in high-demand areas of computing and network programming. It is more general degree than the Bachelor of Computing, so that graduates have the broader skill base that is especially useful for small companies and start-ups.
