Designed to help build a digital future, La Trobe's Bachelor of Information Technology equips students with skills across programming, networking, databases, systems analysis and design, and project management.

Along with building a strong set of core IT skills students can choose to major in one of several areas aligned to future industry growth including artificial intelligence, cloud analytics, cybersecurity, network engineering or information systems.

Students will broaden their knowledge and capabilities further through a wide range of electives. They will combine their core IT skills with business, social sciences, humanities, web engineering, computer technology, security and information systems analysis subjects. Plus, they could develop a software program of their own to present at the annual Engineering and IT Showcase to potential employers.

With industry-based projects and CISCO certification embedded in the course, students will receive professional mentoring opportunities as they build career ready skills. They'll also gain access to La Trobe's expert research centres, including the Centre for Technology Infusion and state-of-the-art Technology Innovation Lab for the Internet of Things – developed in collaboration with Microsoft and CISCO.
