Employment Opportunities
All large and small organisations, both public and private, need people to work on their IT systems, or want staff with other professional training who have advanced IT skills.
IT students typically work as programmers, network administrators/managers, systems or business analysts, and web designers/developers. Rewarding career opportunities in technology and management are available to students with this degree plus 3 - 5 years work experience.
The career options for combined degree students are wide and varied with IT skills adding a real competitive advantage.
All students who complete the BInfTech degree are eligible for professional membership of the Australian Computer Society provided they complete a major in Information Systems or Software Development.

Identify the principal theoretical approaches to the study of PPE, and the relationships between them;
Identify main currents in the three disciplines of PPE and their theoretical bases;
Define, critically discuss and apply:
major philosophical theories and approaches to the evaluation of social institutions;
the methods of economics to the study of political institutions and processes;
the methods of economics to questions within political philosophy;
the assumptions, ‘tools’ and limitations of political economy;
the core arguments and principles of public choice and rational choice theory.
Describe and evaluate how the core arguments and principles of public choice and rational choice theory affect and influence political situations, institutions and complex political processes in liberal democracies;
Recognise and analyse the different actors, processes and stages involved in formulating public policies; and
Analyse practical dilemmas that arise in politics using the theories, approaches and methods of the three main disciplines of PPE.
Further Information
The BInfTech program allows students to approach information technology from either a technical, constructive angle, starting with courses in programming, or from a conceptual, critical or information and organisational management angle. It widens the approach to computing to include the creative and conceptual touch, starting by applying scripting to the application area of new media (video and audio), rather than from learning traditional general purpose programming languages applied to algorithms. The technically oriented student can major in Software Development; whereas the more conceptually oriented student can major in Information Systems.
The Software Development major aims to develop the conceptual and practical skills for software development and the technology of computer systems; the Information Systems major focuses on developing an understanding of organisations, the management of computer systems applications in them, and the accompanying systems analysis and design.
All of the majors are founded on an introduction to the principles of programming, a broad perspective on the computing discipline and profession, and an introduction to the functional structure of computers. They also require a grounding in mathematics and theoretical computer science, which is a means of developing the ability to work with abstractions, a fundamental requirement for understanding and applying ideas in computing.
It should be noted that students commencing this degree in Semester 2 (July) without credit/status for previous post secondary studies, may be unable to complete the Software Development major within 3 years. Students will be able to complete the Information Systems major, or complete the degree without a major.
For students seeking to complete some self-study to improve their Maths prior to attempting MATH1005, Susanna Epp's Discrete Mathematics with Applications textbook (3rd or 4th edition) is recommended, given it's style, level and coverage of similiar content. It has also been recommended that for students who have completed a lower level of Mathematics at highschool or through vocational studies review 2x2 matrix arithmetic in preparation for MATH1005.

The ANU Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) program is accredited by the Australian Computer Society. The three year degree prepares graduates to enter the computing industry work force as novice practitioners to develop software or to apply computing in human organisations. The BIT can also be taken as a part of many double degrees.
Single degree
- This degree requires 144 units (each course is typically 6 units)
- Typically you will study four courses per semester (total of 24 units)
- You can
study a major (48 units) or minor (24 units)
- 48 units (eight courses) of electives from Computer Science & Engineering or from another ANU College.
Double degree
- This degree requires 96 units (each course is typically 6 units)
- Typically you will study four courses per semester (total of 24 units)
- You can study a major (48 units) in Information Systems or Software Development or a minor (24 units) in IT in New Media
- There are no university electives in the double degree.
- You can choose your double degree with BIT from Programs and Courses
About this degree
- Typically you will study 4 courses per semester (total of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 24 courses across your whole degree
- The degree is made up of compulsory requirements (seven courses) and an additional suite of computing requirements (nine courses)
- It is recommended that you study a related major in Information Systems or Software Development or a minor (four courses) in IT in New Media.
- In the single degree program you will have 48 units (eight courses) of electives. You may use these to study another IT major or minor or a major or minor from another ANU College or study a range of courses offered by ANU
- In the double degree, you have no electives - your other degree requirements use up all of these.
Enrolment Status
While it is possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester, which is called studying part-time, it will take you longer to finish your program and get your degree. If you are an international study you must always be full-time.
Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses
- IF YOU ARE COMMENCING IN JULY YOU SHOULD SEND AN EMAIL TO <studentadmin.cecs@anu.edu.au> FOR ADVICE ABOUT YOUR ENROLMENT OR YOU SHOULD ATTEND AN ENROLMENT ADVICE SESSION AT THE UNIVERSITY IN THE WEEK BEFORE SEMESTER COMMENCES.
- When you enrol for the first time you will study '1000-level' courses. These courses have '1' as the first number in their course code, such as COMP1100. The exception to this is COMP2400 which you will complete in first year.
-
There are two options for your first year computing courses
-Students with a strong maths background, and who have some experience in programming may choose to undertake COMP1130 in Semester 1 and COMP1140 in Semester 2.
-Students who do not have the above should enrol in COMP1100 and COMP1110 in place of COMP1130 and COMP1140.
- You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second semester
- You can't study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, eight for the year
- You may take 1000-level courses later in your program. But remember you can’t count more than ten 1000-level courses (60 units) towards your single degree or six 1000-level courses (36 units) towards your BIT half of the double degree.
Majors and Minors
See available majors and minors for this program
If you aren't sure what you want to study as a major or minor in your first year, that's fine. Generally, you will choose courses to satisfy a major or minor from second year. Majors and minors aren't compulsory but are recommended in this degree program.
Electives
If you are in the single degree, you will have three university electives to choose, two in first semester and one in second semester. It is suggested that you consider the option of doing a major in another area of the university. You should use the Programs and Courses search to identify majors of interest.
