Note: Continuing students should note that 2015 BIT tables shown here differs from previous years by bringing the Computer Science and Informations Systems streams together, rather than treating as separate courses. The merging of the stream details was done to to make it easier for students to compare the different requirements of each stream, and see where the requirements are the same in both cases. Apart from this change, the BIT remains as it was before.

Years Offered: | 2025, 2017, 2016, 2015 |
Requirements: | To qualify for the award of the Bachelor of Information Technology, a candidate must successfully complete 192 credit points, comprising: (a) a minimum of 144 credit points of core and selected core units of study in the chosen stream; and (b) 18 credit points of selected Mathematics and Statistics units, with at least six credit points at 2000-level or above; and (c) 30 credit points of elective units of study; (d) and ensuring: (i) no more than 72 credit points in junior (1000-level) units of study, and (ii) at least 90 credit points in 3000-level or above units of study. Streams Completion of a stream is a requirement of the course. Candidates have the option of completing up to two streams. Candidates must follow the progression of study as prescribed by the table of units of study for the stream. Units of study counted towards one stream may not count toward any other stream completed. The streams available are: (a) Computer Science and (b) Information Systems. See Pathways section of this outline for the units presecribed for each stream. See Semesters section for recommended enrolment sequence. Honours Admission to the honours program is by permission of the program coordinator after the completion of third year. Admission requires an average (ISWAM) of at least 65 in units of study completed to that point.
