Bachelor of Information Technology (Networking and Security) at ATMC - Federation University

The Master of Information Technology and Systems (MITS) provides a wide breadth of knowledge and practical skills in varying aspects of information technology (IT) and information systems (IS). It has been designed for everyone, not just those with IT backgrounds, to develop and build on your current skills, and enhance your ability to contribute to the workforce in any industry that has information technology and system needs.

In Studios, students work with academics and professional peers in collaborative, intensive workshops on complex problems honing problem solving skills and critical thinking on sustainable development solutions. The studios will teach design and systems thinking frameworks for students to research, apply and synthesise their technical knowledge and skills. The studios provide mentorship and a collaborative practice-based learning environment to develop competencies. The capstone studio enables students to apply their breadth and depth of knowledge in an industry project. The course teaches students to think in different ways that enable them to tackle complexity and unravel problems, while building postgraduate level content knowledge in subject areas of interest to students. The Master of Professional Practice studios enables students to explore, apply and integrate information, technology and human-centred design.

This degree is designed to provide advanced, research-based studies in theoretical and applied areas of computing or security science. The course aims to extend knowledge in the discipline area alongside knowledge of research methods in those areas of science. Students will undertake a significant independent research investigation resulting in a thesis that will have relevance to the above discipline areas.
