Course Description

Swinburne's Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) is one of Australia's most prestigious IT degrees offering students state-of-the-art skills in Business Information Technology. The course has been developed by the Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies in partnership with many of Australia's top companies and aims to prepare highly capable students for future leadership roles in IT management. To date, the BIT degree has one of the highest employment rates of all IT courses in Australia.

Students admitted to the degree receive an industry-funded scholarship of approximately $33,500 paid over the 3 years of the course (tax free), and undertake Industry Based Learning (IBL), two 20-week periods working with Swinburne's industry partners. The degree runs in fast-track mode, covering all course work and industry placements over a 3 year period.

The focus of the BIT is on the development and use of IT applications that offer solutions to real-world business problems. Students gain both technical and business knowledge by covering a broad range of subject areas in business and information technology.

Drawing on this vast knowledge base, BIT graduates are well equipped to meet industry requirements for information technology specialists, particularly in management and leadership roles, and have the capacity to adapt to a variety of workplace conditions. Such qualities are highly sought after by employers
