Bachelor of Information Technology Program Code 2230 Location St Lucia Commencement semester 1, 2 Duration Three years full-time Admission requirements Year 12 or equivalent English, Mathematics B (see page 92) Honours Available as an additional year of study Program outline You can study information and communications technology (ICT) for a variety of reasons: to be a computing professional, to use ICT to be a better scientist, or to better understand the technology behind many of today’s careers. Increasingly, employers see an ICT qualification as a sign of academic well roundedness. ICT drives innovations such as the human genome project, vaccine research, environmental modelling, and games design. Emerging areas include electronic security, earth simulation (related to the mining boom) and bioinformatics. Independent job market surveys show that demand for graduates is escalating, along with salaries. The industry is concerned about a shortage of talent. The Bachelor of Information Technology (BInfTech) builds on a solid foundation in software and hardware. Through flexible study plans you can specialise, if you wish, in areas such as bioinformatics, computer systems and networks, software design, scientific computing, information security, enterprise information systems, and games modelling. The program is project focused, with teaching informed by the latest research. You will study programming languages, algorithms and information structure, and develop the ability to process data or information in order to solve problems. Besides technical skills, you will learn team dynamics, presentation skills and project management. There is significant industry input and opportunities for industry placements and internships. It is possible to gain credit for industrial certification courses licensed by major commercial software developers. Additional information Industry-sponsored scholarships and prizes are available. See the Information and Communications Technology Prospectus and the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering website: www.itee.uq.edu.au Majors Bioinformatics This extended major will equip you for a career in the computing behind biology, and includes a programming and computer science background, as well as mathematical and biological electives necessary to enter emerging industrial or research applications of bioinformatics. Computer Systems and Networks This major will give you a strong understanding of how software is controlled on one or many computers, including security, networking and operating systems. It is a highly technical major, requiring strong conceptual and programming skills. Courses focus on programming, computer architecture, computer networks, networks programming, operating systems, distributed computing, systems security, as well as distributed software applications involving Internet applications and ubiquitous computing applications. Enterprise Information Systems Business applications of computers demand a combination of IT and business skills. The Enterprise Information Systems double major will provide you with both a strong foundation in designing enterprise-wide and multi-enterprise information systems, and a range of business electives. Games Modelling Games development is a big local industry, but demand for graduates is limited to those with top coding skills. This major will prepare you for a career in developing high-end games and similar software. You will gain core technical skills needed to succeed as a games developer, as well as sufficient general skills to be able to work in any area of software development. Courses include mathematics, physics, 3D graphics and C++ programming. Health Informatics This extended major will give you an understanding of the collection, storage, retrieval, communication, and optimal and responsible use of health-related data, information and knowledge. It will also give you the skills to promote effective and efficient health care, policy and planning through being able to interact productively with health informatics professionals. Human-Computer Interaction This major develops knowledge and skills in humancentred design of ubiquitous computing systems. Course material covers networks, operating systems, interaction design, social computing, mobile computing, and a physical computing design studio. Information Security This extended major will provide you with a broad background in the increasingly important field of computer and network security. Areas covered include cryptography, secure internet protocols, and web services security, as well as broader, non-technical issues such as national security and intelligence. Scientific Computing This major covers a range of mathematical applications of computers, including traditional sciences such physics, but is increasingly applicable to emerging sciences, such as bioinformatics, as well as in modelling of the real world, e.g., weather prediction. This extended major will prepare you for a career in solving scientific problems, modelling, simulation and visualisation. You will develop strong mathematical and programming skills, with a range of electives that allow you to choose application areas. Software Design This major will suit you if you wish to follow a career in the creation and management of software applications. Courses in this major focus on programming, software engineering, project management, requirements analysis, specification, and the software process; as well as software applications involving Internet design, human-computer interaction, algorithms, data structures, and concurrency. Software Information Systems This major will suit you if you wish to pursue a career in developing and managing database-oriented information systems. You will learn about cuttingedge approaches to large-scale database design, including systems that span multiple organisations. Career opportunities Computer programmer, software consultant, IT applications specialist, computer science researcher, systems analyst, systems developer, systems designer, systems software programmer, systems architect, software designer, software engineer, project manager, technology manager. Computer systems and networks: security design of new computer systems, and integrating large-scale systems based on networked machines. Health informatics: public and private hospitals, community health centres, large group practices, government, health departments, research organisations, commercial companies, and universities.

Mathematics A or B recommended (see page 92) Honours Available as an additional year of study Program outline The Bachelor of Multimedia Design is a studiobased program that produces graduates with the knowledge and skills to become the designers, architects and implementers of highly sophisticated multimedia projects. Whether building a corporate presence on the Internet or designing new formats for interactive television, multimedia design is central to creatively engaging an audience. The major focus of the program is on integrating theory and technology and applying them practically in design projects. Areas include animation, graphic design, sound production, 3D modelling, Internet authoring, game design, and interactive media design. An important feature of the program is its focus on teamwork and team projects undertaken in a studio environment. You can also gain credit for industrial certification courses licensed by major commercial software developers. During the program, you will build a portfolio of diverse projects, and can undertake projects with industry-based clients. In final-year, you will have the opportunity for advanced study and research projects with significant industry partners through UQ participation in the Australasian Cooperative Research Centre for Interaction Design (ACID), which is investigating new forms of human interaction with emerging technologies. Career opportunities Creation, development, and technology management roles in interactive media in fields such as advertising, instructional design, business promotion, training, online entertainment industries, integration of telecommunications systems, computer networks, broadband interactive online networks, integrated computer and communication infrastructure for global networking, and video games design. The education, arts, and commercial industries are particularly keen to employ graduates able to engage audiences.
