  • conduct business
  • experience the world

Through real-world industry projects or placements, and with generous scholarships available, you'll hit the ground running - ready to embark on an exciting career.

You can tailor your studies to suit your interests and career aspirations. The choice is yours:

  • Your IT major or extended major - develop deep expertise.
  • IT electives - a huge range from 'Business Analytics' to 'Cybersecurity' and 'Social Informatics'.
  • Monash-wide electives - complement your flair for IT or indulge your other passions.
  • Double degree - gain an extra qualification in Arts, Business, Commerce, Design, Education or Science.
  • Be global - study at Monash locations in Malaysia, South Africa or Italy, or at one of our prestigious partner universities.
  • Go further - high-achieving students can add an Honours research year or a 1.5-year IT Masters degree.

In your final year, you will put into practice the skills and knowledge you gained during the course, through an industry experience, games or multimedia studio project.

Alternatively, you can apply through the highly regarded Industry Based Learning (IBL) program to do one or two half-year placements with our industry partners (leading Australian and global organisations). Placements count towards your course and are supported by generous scholarships. Each year, 100 percent of our IBL students who seek employment have received graduate job offers.

Partner with another course

Double degree courses allow you to study towards two different degrees at the same time, and graduate with two separate qualifications.
