Information Technology Asia Pacific International College

Overview

Students entering the Master of Information Technology at Asia Pacific International College from cognate bachelor degrees (e.g. bachelor degree in IT or Computer Science)

are eligible for potential unit substitution for one or more of the foundational units within the course. The course provides a solid base in all of the key foundational and important areas of IT, and provides the opportunity for students to specialise and develop deep knowledge within specific areas of IT. The MIT has been designed to meet the current and growing skill shortage in IT, particularly in the areas of Cyber Security and Computer Networking. Students may select from advanced units covering key aspects of Cyber Security or Enterprise Networks and graduate with a specialisation in these areas. There are two electives in the MIT, one of which can be from a field other than IT. The course includes a capstone Applied Project unit that ensures that competence in the application of skills and knowledge is demonstrated to current and/or prospective employers.

Graduates of the MIT will be able to:

• Master the core body of information technology knowledge.
• Articulate project and IT systems management issues and principles.
• Appraise current and emerging approaches and technologies in information technology.
• Integrate ethical considerations into IT solutions and professional practices.
• Communicate complex information technology concepts and solutions to specialists, non-specialists, and collaborators.
• Create justifiable innovative solutions to complex information technology problems through independent
• research, industry standard technologies and methodologies.
