Overview

The Master of Information and Communication Technology (MICT) and Master of Information and Communication Technology Advanced (MICTAdv) are designed to meet the needs of both the ICT industry and of a diverse cohort of students. Students with a strong technical background can do majors which focus on managerial skills that will assist them to be promoted within their company or to seek higher positions in other companies. Students with less developed technical skills can choose a major to strengthen those skills, making them far more employable both in Australia and overseas. Various combinations of the technical and managerial majors allow students to get a broad set of skills that are highly employable. In addition, the degrees provide an excellent pathway to a future in research, such as doing a PhD. By choosing a set of majors wisely, students can prepare themselves for almost any future in the ICT industry or academia.
