"I feel like the support from the University either personally or from the University in general is really great.  I have an accounting background and thought maybe it's good to have some kind of IT background to compliment my accounting experience, so I can go more into the career path way I want to pursue as a Business Analyst"

Ziyi (Gabby) Zhang, Master of Information Technology and Systems
Due to the ongoing response to COVID-19, online study may replace some or all of your on-campus classes. We'll be sure to keep you informed of any changes.
The Master of Information Technology and Systems (MITS) provides a wide breadth of knowledge of varying aspects of information technology (IT) and information systems (IS). The MITS provides students with a previous tertiary qualification in any discipline area with the knowledge, understanding and skills to enable them to deal effectively with advanced issues involving IT and IS.

The MITS provides non-ICT students with broad knowledge and understanding of fundamental information and communication technology concepts and principles. It also enables all students to select significant areas for in-depth study, from a range of advanced IT and IS areas, to provide students with knowledge, understanding and experiences that transcend technologies and are robust over time so that students are well-placed to deal with ongoing, rapid changes in the IT and IS fields.

Studies in the various advanced areas of ICT allow students to develop a professional, responsible, self-reflective and critical attitude to the practice of ICT.

Note:  Students who commenced this course prior to the current year should refer to the Course and Unit Handbook archive relevant to their year of entry, e.g. 2019.

MITS graduates should be ICT professionals with the abilities and skills to:

  • adapt and apply techniques for acquiring, converting, transmitting, storing, managing and analysing data, information and knowledge;
  • select and effectively apply processes, methodologies, tools, research skills and techniques to analyze, model, develop, and manage ICT products and services;
  • explain and adapt appropriate ICT to support business processes and decision making to help an organisation achieve its objectives;
  • evaluate and communicate the likely utility of emerging or advanced ICT to an individual or organization;
  • apply abstraction and critical thinking to a problem, identify and define the ICT requirements, apply knowledge of advanced ICT principles and technical skills to develop and evaluate strengths and weaknesses of potential solutions.

MITS graduates should acquire attitudes needed by an ICT professional to:

  • be an effective team member;
  • take initiative and work independently;
  • communicate effectively at a professional level;
  • continue lifelong learning; and
  • adhere to codes of professional conduct and practice.

The MITS provides an optional opportunity for high achieving students to qualify for higher research

Career outcomes

This course is an effective means of opening up new career possibilities in a broad range of ICT fields. Graduates will have the knowledge and skills to solve complex social, economic and technical problems within the context of information and communication technology.  

All students study core units in information technology and information systems, developing fundamental skills and knowledge of communication technology. Students can choose a career stream for in-depth study of information technology and systems.

Career Streams

Big Data Management and Analytics

ICT Research

ICT research is significant in developing efficient and effective technologies that can be applied in several industries. Learn to undertake research with integrity and in a rigorous manner through developing research knowledge, skills and tools. Students will work with a supervisor to undertake a research project and produce a thesis document.

Professional Recognition

The MITS has full, professional-level accreditation from the Australian Computer Society (ACS). This endorsement recognises that the degree, which was recently redeveloped in consultation with the ACS, is responsive to the current and future needs of the ICT industry. Graduates of the MITS are eligible for membership of the ACS.

Course structure

The normal duration of the MITS is 2 years. MITS candidates will do the equivalent of at least twelve 12.5% units, and up to sixteen 12.5% units, based on their existing qualifications and experience (see Entry Requirements).

Students who qualify for the 12 unit MITS can choose to do an accelerated program over 1.5 years, or they can complete the degree over 2 years by successfully studying 3 units a semester for 4 semesters.

Degree structure

All students will complete three level 500 foundation units (KIT501, KIT503, KIT506).

You will then complete the equivalent of at least eight ICT 12.5% units listed in the schedule at level-700, which must include KIT713.

The remaining units must be taken from level 400, 500, 600 or 700.

On completion of four ICT postgraduate (level 400 or 700 only) units the candidates can choose a career stream: (1) Big Data Management and Analytics; (2) Information Systems and Management (2) Mobile, Web and Cloud Computing; (3) Networks and Embedded Systems; (4) Graphics and Games Development; (5) Logistics and Enterprise Systems; (6) Interactive Technology; (7) Software Design and Development; or (8) ICT Research.

  • All students must do ICT Research Principles (KIT714). Then candidates can complete up to four postgraduate units (level 400/500/600/700) from ICT to make up their career stream or select an elective from any other discipline (e.g. Business, Science etc.).
  • To be admitted to the research stream students need a distinction average over four ICT level-400 or 700-units. Candidates in the research stream must do ICT Research Methods 25% (KIT701), and a research dissertation over two 25% units (KIT702, KIT703). Students in the research stream can only complete one elective from ICT or another discipline.

The first main aim of the unit is to provide students with an introduction to operating systems and scripting. The main operating systems topics covered in this unit include operating systems structure and services, process management and coordination, memory management…
