Information Technology - C2000
Develop the tech that shapes our lives
Technology is everywhere - in the way we shop, order food, travel, bank, learn and communicate. Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, cybersecurity is more important than ever, and emerging technologies continue to change how we live and work. If this is the world you want to help shape, you're in the right place.
In this degree, you'll learn to apply technology to solve real-world problems, whether that's creating games, uncovering insights from data, designing AI-powered solutions, developing software, protecting organisations from cyber threats or helping businesses embrace new technologies. At Monash, you'll study a practical, industry-accredited course taught by experts advancing the future of information technology.
This course is all about applying digital technologies and systems to solve individual, organisational and societal challenges. You'll develop the knowledge and practical skills to design, build and manage technology that makes a difference.
The flexibility of this degree, with its broad range of majors and free electives, allows you to explore emerging areas, build on your strengths and tailor your studies to your interests. You can specialise in areas including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, computer science, software development, games and immersive media, data science and business AI systems. Following core studies in programming, computing systems, data management and artificial intelligence, you'll pursue a specialist pathway through one of nine future-focused majors. You can also broaden your studies through free electives, including the opportunity to complete a second major or minor.
The technical expertise you gain, combined with professional skills such as problem-solving, communication, teamwork, project management and critical thinking, will prepare you for a wide range of careers across the technology sector.
If you're eligible, you can also apply for the highly regarded Industry-Based Learning (IBL) program, where you'll complete a placement with a leading organisation and apply your skills in a professional environment while earning credit towards your degree.

Partner with another course
