Postgraduate Information

The School of Information Technology and Computer Science is commited to advancing the field of knowledge in information and communication technology and computer science. To achieve this the School offers highly sought after postgraduate courses for the IT&T sector.

The current significant shortage of skilled and qualified IT professionals is predicted to continue and even escalate into the foreseeable future. Positions where the most intense demand and pressures are expected over the next five years include IT strategists, IT business analysts, IT services consultants, Systems architects, Database administrators. The main technical skills required include Java, C++ and object oriented software engineering, web development and design and networking.

The School's postgraduate coursework degrees are designed to cater from the beginner through to the professional. For those with no IT background looking to re-train to enter this rapidly developing sector we offer a Master of Computer Studies.

The Masters of Information Technology Management provides relevant academic qualifications for those wishing to advance to senior IT management positions. For beginners interested in the MITM or MInfoTech we offer a Pathway Program through the Wollongong University College. This provides applicants with an introduction to IT prior to the commencement of the masters program.

Skills must be updated even after graduation. Life-long learning is part of job responsibility.
