Information Technology and Science - C2003
Designing visualisations of scientific data, building apps that simplify fieldwork and developing IT systems for seamless collaboration – these are some of the things you could do studying IT and Science.
Choose from a wide range of IT majors and over 26 areas of study in science to form a unique program that will allow you to pursue a career that aligns your passions with the needs of the world.
Here are some ways your IT studies could complement your science study:
- applied AI – apply the latest AI tools to accelerate the process of discovery
- business AI systems – launch a science-tech startup or develop the systems to capture the innovations discovered in labs
- cybersecurity – build models that predict vulnerabilities in networks and systems
- games and immersive media – create apps or games that help people get excited about science or educate the public on new discoveries
- agentic software engineering – make intelligent software that's an active collaborator and amplifies the capabilities of scientists.
Through a combination of professional practice units, other IT work-integrated learning programs, field trips, research experiences and specialist Science study, you'll graduate with a portfolio demonstrating your technical capability and scientific expertise.
The Bachelor of Information Technology degree is accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS). Upon graduation, you'll be eligible to become a member, opening doors to invaluable networking and professional development opportunities.
Comprehensive and flexible, the Bachelor of Science allows you to focus on either:
- biological sciences
- biomedical and behavioural sciences
