Graduates of the Master of Information Technology (MIT) will be equipped with the skills needed to perform the highly complex tasks that the modern IT environment requires. They will possess the ability to critically evaluate relevant literature, analyse independent research results and problem-solve to a high level of sophistication. Those who complete the Thesis pathway will be able to plan and execute original research in various novel situations.
Higher-than entry-level IT positions such as software programmer, software developer, software analyst, software designer, web developer, web architect, enterprise web consultant, web service developer, web analyst, network engineer, network administrator, network support specialist, junior IT manager, IT manager and business analyst.
