Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing area of business. It influences the way we live, communicate, and improve customer experiences. This major covers in-depth areas such as machine learning, digital disruption, data manipulation, and graphical display. It also integrates core business principles to identify and develop ICT-based solutions for a wide variety of organisations.

Learn the complex process of identifying problems within a business, understanding what the implications of those problems might be, and developing ICT-based solutions. In addition to technical skills, you’ll learn project management and communication skills that provide the much-needed link between businesses and technical experts.

Computer science is more than just developing software. It prepares graduates for a diverse range of careers. Computer Science will equip you with a broad understanding of ICT technologies including programming, machine learning, and data processing. Pairing Computer Science with another specialisation also allows you to tailor your degree to various job opportunities.

Being highly connected, the world is filled with threats to our systems and devices. This major will give you an understanding of these risks, including encryption systems, penetration testing, and eForensics. Plus, you’ll learn how to protect businesses and systems, skills that are needed for organisations of all sizes across all industries.

Data is key to government, commerce and science. This major provides an opportunity to explore new kinds of data, and the tools for processing it. You’ll also learn how to capture, manipulate and process huge volumes of digital data and transform it all into usable information.

Develop a detailed understanding of the processes and technologies used in the development of games and interactive systems. You’ll learn to design, model and program with industry-leading technologies, tools and languages, including VR/AR technology applied in the game and multimedia industries.

Information Systems and Geospatial Sciences are interconnected areas of technology, which are applied to solve complex environmental, social, and economic challenges. Graduates are multi-skilled professionals, trained to gather and identify geospatial information using technologies such as drones, satellite data, and remote sensing.

Offered in Hobart and Launceston (Year 1 only).
