Dr Kristy de Salas Senior Lecturer

With a focus on providing you with the skills to compete for employment in the ICT industry globally, a Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology (BICT) gives you the knowledge and ability to stand out in the constantly changing technology landscape.

The BICT is a specialist degree with both a theoretical and practical focus that aims to develop technological understanding and skills that are in high demand world-wide.

You'll develop knowledge and capabilities in communication, design, development and management and learn what it takes to implement and integrate ICT within an organisation. You will also complete a hands-on project that gives you real-world experience before you even start your career.

You will graduate with the skills and knowledge to grow into leadership positions; the drive to act on entrepreneurial ambition; and the confidence to pursue research and graduate studies.

The BICT offers core knowledge and specialist units across the complete spectrum of Computing and Information Technology. They range from non-technical areas such as the nature of information and the organisational need for ICT; to the hardware, software, network and creative technologies used to satisfy these needs; to the communication, design, development and management skills needed to create and implement ICT components.

In addition, you will be provided with the organisational skills needed to work within a business environment, including working as a team and independently; developing user-centred solutions; communicating effectively; problem-solving; community and social awareness; professional conduct; and industry best practice.

  • 1 analyse the local and global impact of ICT on individuals, organisations, and society
  • 2 adapt and apply techniques for acquiring, converting, transmitting, storing, managing and analysing data, information and knowledge
  • 3 select and effectively apply processes, methodologies, tools, research skills and techniques to analyse, model, develop, source, integrate and manage ICT products and services
  • 4 monitor the changing direction of ICT and evaluate and communicate the likely utility of emerging ICT to an individual or organisation
  • 5 explain and adapt appropriate ICT to support business processes and decision making to help an organisation achieve its objectives
  • 6 identify and analyse user needs and take them into consideration during the selection, creation, evaluation and administration of ICT systems
  • 7 analyse a problem, identify and define the ICT requirements, and apply knowledge of ICT principles and technical skills to develop and evaluate strengths and weaknesses of potential solutions
  • 8 design, implement, and evaluate and ICT interface, system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs and manage the change associated with the implementation and integration
  • Your learning experience goes beyond lectures, labs and tutorials. The teaching environment at the University of Tasmania aims to provide a distinctive, energising and rewarding university experience for all students.

    Led by experienced and approachable staff, your learning could also include an international study exchange, valuable industry placement and practical project work. We provide extensive teaching laboratory facilities that deliver valuable hands-on experience in all technology specialisations. Students also experience the latest in technology development and application through challenging team projects.

    ICT Project & Industry Experience

    The University has active relationships with the Tasmanian business community. In the final year of the BICT, students obtain practical work experience during a full-year project in which you design, engineer and implement ICT solutions to real industry problems. This is a fully commercialised process, dealing with management, stakeholders, planning, development and execution.

    "Our ICT Project was to create a mobilebased game for local game developer, Secret Lab. I want to be a project manager, and the ICT Project units helped match my expectations to reality."

    Ryan Ward, Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Computing graduate

    HITLab AU

    Human Interface Technology Laboratory Australia (HITLab AU) is a research and teaching facility focused on building advanced human-computer interface technology. It allows us to explore new forms of interface technology made possible by infrastructures such as the NBN and Ubiquitous Computing to realise interfaces in the wild.

    Special facilities in the HITLab AU include Surface Research equipment, in particular the VisionSpace, a three-screen immersive stereo projection system enabling groups of people to view and interact intuitively with virtual 3D data; and an Access Grid, a high-end, collaborative communication facility including HD videoconferencing capabilities. Students have opportunities to undertake elective units or develop projects using HITLab AU.

    Overseas Exchange

    Our international exchange program offers opportunities for a semester of study at universities around the world. Exchange can allow students to have an affordable educational and cultural experience in a foreign country for a semester or a full year. To facilitate this, we offer a range of scholarships and financial assistance. Participants may be eligible for OS-HELP Loans or scholarship funding to assist with their airfares, accommodation and other expenses.

    Find out more about Student Exchange.

    Students also have the option of undertaking an elective at the end of their second year to do an industry placement for six weeks and gain industry experience in their chosen ICT field.

    Career outcomes

    A career in ICT gives you the ability to combine creativity and logic. You'll learn to analyse problems; identify and define computing and IT requirements; apply your technical skills and knowledge of these principles to develop multiple possible solutions; and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of those solutions.

    This is a career that rewards professionals who can take initiative and work independently. It's an area that rewards multi-tasking. It can work for people who like to lead as well as those who like operating in a team environment.

    Career Opportunities with ICT

    Computing and Information Technology affects all occupations and contributes to productivity gains, innovation and job growth across all industries. Around the world, employers are looking for professionals with knowledge and skills to understand and improve organisational processes through the use of Computing and IT.

    Fees & scholarships

    Domestic students

    Options for this course

    This is a full-fee course, which means you’ll need to pay the full amount for your studies. Commonwealth Supported Places are not available in this course. However, there are still support options available for eligible students to help you manage the cost of studying this course.

    You may be able to fund all or part of your tuition fees by accessing a FEE-HELP loan from the Australian Government. FEE-HELP is a loan scheme that assists domestic full-fee students to pay for University, which is repaid through the Australian Tax System once you earn above a repayment threshold. This means you’ll only have to start repaying the loan once you start earning above a specific amount

    Our scholarships and prizes program also offers more than 400 scholarships across all areas of study. You can even apply for multiple scholarships in one easy application.

    Further information
