The Internet and networking industry continues to expand dramatically. A Master of Information Technology qualification is widely recognised in the IT industry. This course provides a career track for Computer Science, Information Technology, Telecommunications and Electrical Engineering graduates, seeking to move into the networking industry, as network designers, network consultants, network engineers, network administrators, system integrators, and intranet supervisors. On completion, students will typically go on to work in leading IT intensive industries, such as the networking, multimedia, telecommunications, information, finance and service delivery industries. The program has a core content of networking and software development topics, and includes a networking design project.
Students choose an additional topic to suit their individual requirements and background.
The aim is to provide a career track into the Internet - networking industry. Graduates from other technology related three or four year degrees, e.g. Science and Engineering, who have done Computer Science majors equivalent to at least one year full time, or who have at least 24 months of industry experience in software development, may be admitted after review of their Academic Transcript and Curriculum Vitae. From Extended Program entry, the Graduate Certificate takes 12 months, the Graduate Diploma takes 18 months, and the MIT takes 24 months. Failure in subjects may prolong completion. Safe, modern accommodation, with meals or self-catering, is available on campus, in a number of residential colleges.
