Information Technology and Arts - C2002
Technology is integral to how we experience and interpret our modern world. If you want to understand how people and technology influence each other, this double degree could be for you.
With many IT majors and over 30 areas of study in arts available, you have the opportunity to design a unique learning experience that gives you a hybrid edge and broadens your prospects.
Some suggestions on pairing your majors:
- business AI systems (IT) with behavioural studies (Arts) to help organisations improve business processes and implement them successfully
- cybersecurity (IT) and criminology (arts) or human rights (arts) to explore how technology confronts the boundaries between public and private spaces
- games and immersive media (IT) with communications and media studies (arts) to deliver games and experiences that are holistically appealing
- agentic software engineering (IT) with psychology (arts) to better understand users and create intuitive, intelligent software.
Develop your IT capability through embedded professional practice units engaging industry and further work-integrated learning opportunities, including placements with leading organisations supported by an education grant.
Arts internships also see you in an organisation, putting your knowledge into action while contributing to your degree.
The result? A comprehensive portfolio that showcases your extensive experience and project examples across both fields.
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.
