Information Technology

Overview

The course provides a solid base in all of the key foundational and important areas of IT, and also provides the opportunity for students to specialise and develop deep knowledge within specific areas. The Bachelor of Information Technology from Asia Pacific International College has been designed to meet the current and growing skill shortage in IT, particularly in the areas of computer networking and cyber security. Students may select advanced units covering key aspects of computer networks and security and graduate with a specialisation in this area. The networking units within the BIT have been designed to ensure graduates have both the knowledge and skills to design and configure large scale enterprise networks. These units also prepare students to be ready to undertake the Cisco Certificate Network Associate exam (CCNA 200-301), that forms a key part of the Cisco set of industry certifications. The cyber security units enable students to understand the latest technologies and trends in cyber defensive strategies and ensure graduates are able to design network systems that are resilient to cyber threats.

• Integrate the components of the core body of knowledge in information technology and security.
• Evaluate ethical implications of information technology in society.
• Devise technical solutions to typical or novel situations using intellectual independence and judgement.
• Persuade stakeholders of appropriate solutions in a clear and coherent manner.
• Synthesise skills and knowledge to develop solutions to IT problems and deliver an applied capstone IT project.
