About this program

The Bachelor of Information Technology at RMIT University in Melbourne covers both the theory and practical application of IT in today's workplace. Students learn across core areas like programming, databases, systems analysis, web technologies, networking, cybersecurity, and software development. Electives allow specialisation in fields such as business IT, data science, or cloud technology, depending on the student's interests.

This bachelor's degree is built around three years of full-time study. Students complete a series of units of study, each carrying credit points, and must meet the total required to qualify for graduation. In their final year, most students complete a capstone project that brings together skills from earlier units to solve real industry problems, often in partnership with local employers. Industry involvement is a highlight, and many students benefit from work-integrated learning experiences or placements, giving them hands-on exposure to Australian workplaces.

The course suits those interested in how technology solves real-world problems and want to develop skills that are in demand, including programming, systems analysis, IT project management, and communication. It draws students who enjoy problem-solving and are curious about how digital systems underpin modern business, healthcare, government, and entertainment sectors. Applicants must demonstrate English proficiency, with IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall accepted, or equivalent tests. Confirm current English entry requirements on the official website before applying.

Australian IT degrees are recognised by employers across the country. International students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while enrolled, and may be eligible for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
