Program handbook

Description

The ‘Information Age’ and the ‘Digital Economy’ describe a world driven by information and communication technologies (ICT). From health to business, manufacturing to creative industries, the skills needed to navigate and succeed in our connected society are delivered through the study of Information technology (IT). IT is all about the application of technology to solve business, organisational, or social problems. At the University of Newcastle, we prepare IT graduates to be technically savvy, creative, and flexible, and our information technology degree is designed to meet industry's evolving IT needs. You will study courses to develop your skills in programming, AI, cyber security, and cloud computing in one of two areas of major studies. In the ICT development major, you will focus on learning the skills needed to develop new systems and apps whereas the ICT professional major will see you focus on the skills needed to secure, integrate, deploy, and manage ICT technologies. Uniquely, our IT degree includes a specialisation pathway – pick four courses from education and become an ICT Trainer, or four courses from health to hone your ICT skills for e-health systems! From business to climate science, criminology to animation – take your IT skills in the direction you choose.
