Course Description

The Bachelor of Information Technology Honours is for students who have an undergraduate degree in Information Technology, or equivalent, and who wish to undertake a research project as part of an add-on Honours year.

The course combines 30 credit points of 400-level coursework and an 18 credit points research project. The 400-level coursework is intended to give students a background in Information Technology similar to that found in a Masters degree. The research project allows students to identify a viable research problem; design an appropriate methodology to achieve the objectives of the project; follow the methodology to gather and analyse data to satisfy the objectives; and to write the whole as a comprehensive research report or thesis.

The UOW Honours website provides lots of useful information regarding research opportunities, scholarships, application procedures, etc

This degree is highly sought after in industry and provides an excellent pathway to a PhD.
