About this program

RMIT University's Bachelor of Information Technology guides students through the core areas of IT over three years, based in Melbourne. The degree runs across semesters, and students complete a series of units of study worth a set number of credit points. The structure blends theory and applied learning, covering programming, databases, networking, security, web development, information systems, and project management. Later years offer options to specialise in areas matched to career interests.

A capstone project is a key feature—students work, often with industry input, on real IT problems or solutions, which brings together their technical skills and project management abilities. Many students complete work-integrated learning placements or internships with Melbourne’s active tech and commercial sectors. This gives firsthand experience and meets many employer expectations in Australia.

Graduates emerge skilled in programming languages, software development, cloud computing, and data analysis. The course is hands-on, with a focus on teamwork, communication, and problem-solving—skills Australian employers value. RMIT's connections to local and national organisations help students understand industry standards and trends. Those aiming for roles in IT consulting, business analysis, or system administration will find it suited to their goals. School leavers, diploma holders, or anyone keen to move into tech will benefit from this course's mix of fundamentals and real-world application. Entry requires evidence of English proficiency, with IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 or accepted equivalents.

Students at RMIT can work up to 48 hours per fortnight under current work rights, and graduates of this AQF Level 7 degree may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream. All details, including tuition and admission requirements, should be confirmed on the official CRICOS page.
