The information technology (IT) industry is already large and continues to expand, with employers actively seeking appropriately qualified IT professionals.

CSU’s Master of Information Technology (MIT) course is designed to cater to both those who currently work in the industry but have no formal qualification and those with tertiary qualifications in another discipline and little information technology background but who wish to gain a qualification that will allow them to pursue an IT career.

The MIT is also designed to meet the needs of practising information technology professionals, to enable them to further develop their level of expertise, in particular and 'cutting edge' areas of the profession.

The Master of Information Technology has been accredited by the Australian Computer Society as meeting the academic requirements for full professional membership.

The Master of Information Technology course is available through the CSU Study Centres in Melbourne and Sydney for domestic and international students.
