Study with the Department of Computer Science and Information Technology
We offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in information technology, computer science, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.
Our degrees give students industry experience through industry-based learning and projects. Our students have access to world class facilities, a supportive learning environment and industry leaders. Many of our graduates have been recruited by leading tech companies, both nationally and internationally.

SUPPORTIVE LEARNING
We want our students to have an excellent experience with us and hope they return as they progress through their professional careers.
Our blended approach to course delivery offers students the flexibility they need to learn at a time and place of their choosing – and at their own pace.
We use a range of different technologies to record lectures and online laboratory practicals, and provide comprehensive reference materials. And, we have online forums where students can engage with academic staff and peers, ask questions and share ideas.
We also meet regularly with our student representatives to ensure that our teaching quality and contributions translate into an outstanding student experience.
The result: Our students thrive in a multidisciplinary learning environment that combines industry-relevant education with training in core skills such as communication, collaboration and presentation.
WORKPLACE EXPERIENCE
Our Industry Based Learning program is sector-leading and an important part of our degrees.
Industry Based Learning is taken as a university subject, so students gain credit towards their degree while also getting the experience they need to join the technology workforce.
We have a long history of placing students in dynamic work environments. Students at our Bundoora and Bendigo campuses spend up to ten months in placements or employment, gaining workplace experience and forming valuable relationships with industry professionals.
Our program is well supported by organisations that understand the benefit of gaining access to the brightest students, many of whom achieve full-time employment with their host organisation upon graduating.
Students are placed in a wide range of organisations including government and non-government sectors, small start-ups and large multi-national companies, in Australia and internationally.
A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
We are globally connected and work closely with industry leaders in research and academic exchange.
Our international partnerships and opportunities add to the richness of our education programs. Many of our staff work with researchers in Asia, North America and Europe on projects that are transforming computer science and information technology.
Our students have opportunities to take short overseas placements to enhance their learning and professional development.
We also have a joint PhD program with the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, as part of the Asian Smart Cities Research Innovation network. Find out more.
