University entrance requirements

Our Comprehensive courses allow you to select from a wide range of subjects within a broad field of study. You can choose a Monash Comprehensive course in five broad fields: arts, business, commerce, information technology or science, and then customise your course to make it uniquely yours.In this course, you will study a range of subjects from across the information technology field, broadening your knowledge in this area while also deepening your knowledge in at least one subject that will become your major.

A. Information technology specified study

B. Information technology listed major

C. Free elective study

Electives will enable you to further develop your knowledge of your major area of study, or IT more broadly, through a second major or a minor. Alternatively you can select units from across the University in which you are eligible to enrol.

For students in a double degree course, some units required for the partner degree are credited as electives towards the Information Technology degree.

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. And because a required subject in one course can count as an elective in the other, our double degrees take up to two years less than if you studied for the two degrees separately.

“I chose to study the degree after taking a unit in Computer Science as an elective in the last year of my Bachelor of Information Technology and Systems degree. I fell in love with the more technical orientation of the degree and decided that it was for me as I was looking to eventually work within this area." - Chantel Garcia Bachelor of Computer Science (2012)
