Leading to: Bachelor of Information and Communications Technology

The Bachelor of Information and Communications Technology is a three-year program accredited by the Australian Computer Society. It meets the demands of business to be competitive and to innovate in this fast-changing area. Students build strong foundational skills, and then apply these to a range of industry relevant problems and projects as part of work-integrated learning. To complete the degree, students do a major to specialise in topics such as cyber security, cloud computing, multimedia computing. Accredited with the Australian Computer Society at a professional level, you’ll graduate ready to connect people worldwide, and help businesses or individuals to adapt to changing technology and market demands. Note: Sydney City Campus semesters commence in March, July and October. Not all majors and subjects are available on listed campuses. Please refer to our handbook for more information.

Major: Enterprise Systems and Architectures

This major is for highly motivated students who wish to enhance their experience and further their career opportunities through work-integrated learning. Most subjects in the major offer placements with industry partners, including a six-month internship. The internships are offered by our industry partners, such as DXC, which is the main supplier of the technology for the Aerotropolis infrastructure. There is a limited number of internships available each year; hence students will need to perform at an advanced level to secure one of these. Undertaking the internship will strongly increase the landing of a permanent position with target industry partners upon graduation. The major covers theories and technologies used for the development of large-scale infrastructure projects and the systems and integration that go along with projects of this size. Students will better understand the development and management processes related to each phase of the project and development life cycle. In addition, they will identify, analyse, and formulate solutions to real-world problems that occur in large-scale infrastructure projects. In devising these solutions students will consider principles associated with user interface design, professional and ethical issues, in particular, those relating to security and privacy of customer data and customer behaviour. Students who fail to secure an internship will be transferred to the Software Development major to be able to complete their ICT studies.
