Program Aim
The Bachelor of Information Technology (Co-op) provides a distinguished Bachelor's degree in IT that enables students to acquire valuable experience experience through a paid, supervised, industry placement. Students normally undertake industry placement following the successfully completion of two years (four terms) of study. Industry placements are typically of six (6) months duration.
The BIT Co-op provides a solid core of IT courses with a wide choice of electives. At one extreme, a student may select all IT courses for electives; at the other extreme, a student may wish to complete a stream of courses (up to six) from another faculty. Guidance will be provided on electives that prepare students for employment in a target role. Alternatively, students may explore a range of IT courses and acquire a broadly-based range of skills and experiences.
