About this program

Griffith University's Bachelor of Information Technology is structured as a three-year degree, following the Australian standard for bachelor's qualifications. Students complete a coherent sequence of units across six semesters, earning credit points as they advance. The curriculum builds core skills in programming, systems analysis, and database management, before branching into electives like cybersecurity, software engineering, mobile app development, and cloud computing. Many units incorporate hands-on projects using real-world tools and methodologies relevant to the Australian IT sector.

The course design reflects industry needs in Australia, often including a work-integrated learning component in the later years. This could mean a professional placement or industry project with a local Brisbane company or government department, giving students workplace exposure and networking opportunities. The final year typically features a capstone project where students tackle a substantial piece of applied work, preparing them for transition into IT roles after graduation.

Graduates will develop technical skills such as coding in multiple languages, building and maintaining databases, managing IT projects, and understanding IT security. There is also a focus on teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, all highly valued in Australian workplaces. The degree suits those interested in practical roles across IT support, development, administration, and includes options for customising study towards particular interests or future specialisation.

International students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during semesters and may be eligible to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study to gain additional Australian work experience. Check the Griffith University website and CRICOS register for the most current details.
