Applied Technologies

Overview

Throughout the program, you’ll acquire hands-on experience by solving real world problems using a range of technologies. With its work-based, industry-led delivery and its emphasis on applied technology, the program is a world away from traditional IT degrees. The two year (full time) duration also means that you’ll graduate faster with highly relevant work-ready skills in areas such as the Internet of Things and digital automation, digital design and 3D printing, information security and data analytics. If you’ve never considered a career in IT but love all things ‘tech’, this program could be for you.

The program is available for full-time and part-time study across all campuses in Tasmania and is delivered through a combination of online study, face-to-face classes, practical workshops and tutorials.
