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.
