This combined degree gives students a specialisation in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) balanced by a broad understanding of the Arts (humanities, languages or social sciences). This combined degree provides students with powerful communication and critical thinking skills coupled with a strong technological base. The degree provides students with an opportunity to gain qualifications that will provide more breadth and offer wider opportunities for employment.

The Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology (BICT) aims to give students the opportunity to explore a broad range of aspects of ICT, and to graduate them with knowledge and skills in a variety of key areas of ICT for a lifelong career. The degree offers units across the complete spectrum of ICT, ranging from non-technical areas such as the nature of information and organisational needs for ICT through the hardware, software, network and creative technologies which are used to satisfy these needs, to the communication, design, development and management skills needed to create, implement and integrate ICT components.

The degree produces ICT professionals who are confident and articulate team players, and who are attuned to the needs, methods and attitudes of business and society. The BICT aims to provide ICT graduates with the skills and knowledge to take on appropriate professional positions in industry upon graduation and grow into leadership positions, achieve entrepreneurial ambition, or pursue research and graduate studies in ICT.

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) offers a broad foundation in a diverse range of humanities and social science areas of study. It provides students with the skills that employers want such as critical thinking, research analysis, problem solving, communication, creativity and versatility.

Some units/majors for the Bachelor of Arts component of the combined degree may not be available in Launceston.

Career outcomes

Graduates of the BICT-BA should expect to have the same career outcomes as identified for the BA and BICT. Graduates of the combined degree would be particularly valuable to large organisations and government.
