Overview
The Master of Applied Information Technology (NMIT) at Victoria University is a flexible, accredited course, providing advanced training for students with an IT degree.
Areas of focus include cyber security, machine learning and data science. You’ll build on your computing skills, preparing for senior IT roles. Hands-on, practical classes let you develop and enhance the skills shaped out of theory. This course provides flexibility through face-to-face and online learning.
During this postgraduate IT degree, we focus on solving real-world problems in:
- cloud computing (with practicals using Amazon Web Services)
- cyber security
- data warehousing
- machine learning
- data science through an advanced project and thesis
- advanced programming
- software engineering
- wireless and mobile networking
- mobile applications
- data analytics
- project management.
You’ll develop new ideas for the IT field, either through a digital-industry project or research activities designed to lead into a PhD. Our experienced IT lecturers, excellent computer-science research facilities, and connections to the professional computing world give you the opportunity and support to contribute original and important ideas.
You'll also be able to take part in a digital-industry placement program, helping you kick-start your IT career.
This IT course and its research programs are regularly reviewed to ensure current practice and IT industry developments are included.
On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Conceptually map the most recent developments in IT theory and IT applications and justify their utility in various contexts;
- Critically apply information technology knowledge and skills to new and uncertain situations in professional practice exhibiting a high level of personal autonomy and accountability;
- Design, implement and evaluate applied IT research and transmit this knowledge to specialist and non-specialist audiences; and,
- Formulate and strategise IT project management plans which accurately meet stakeholder needs and expectations
This course offers students an opportunity to do either an in-house industry project under simulated environment, or extensive research activities that could lead to a higher degree (PhD) by research.
As part of your masters degree, you’ll be taught best-practice research techniques and apply them to projects and theses in our research project areas. Our researchers include staff who are world leaders in their fields. The high quality of our research ensures that our courses remain relevant, world-class and allied to industry.
