About this program

Edith Cowan University's Bachelor of Information Technology covers core areas including programming, systems analysis, database development, networking, web technologies and cybersecurity. Students build technical skills alongside project management and communication, learning through both lectures and hands-on labs. There is a strong focus on practical applications and real-world problem-solving, reflecting the needs of the fast-moving Australian IT sector.

This three-year course is structured in semesters and comprises individual units of study, each assigned credit points contributing toward the degree. Students can choose electives to focus on topics such as software engineering, data analytics or IT project management depending on their interests. In the final stages, a capstone project brings together technical and professional skills as students address industry-driven challenges, often in partnership with local Perth organisations.

Some units may include work-integrated learning opportunities, allowing students to gain valuable workplace experience and industry connections before graduation. Regular industry involvement means students stay in touch with current tools and methodologies. The course suits those wanting to develop technical expertise for IT careers, or anyone looking at decision-making, problem-solving and digital transformation roles.

International students are required to demonstrate English proficiency, with IELTS and equivalent scores accepted. It's important to check entry and English requirements on the university’s official site as these may change. Tuition fees are listed on the CRICOS register. While studying, students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and bachelor graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream in Australia.
