Kickstart your career when you study IT with Charles Sturt
We’re leading the charge for undergraduate IT education.
Maumita Bhattacharya, senior lecturer in information technology at Charles Sturt University, explained how our range of disciples and study flexibility are helping educate the next generation of IT professionals.
“The wide range of courses and specialisations – covering key growth areas of the IT discipline – we offer at Charles Sturt, allows students to pick just the right course or specialisation that meets their career goals. In some cases, students can even customise their course, choosing from a range of interesting and attractive subject choices.
Study IT to gain your bachelor’s
With the Bachelor of Information Technology1, you’ll build the knowledge and skills needed to join one of the world’s fastest growing and in-demand industries – and futureproof your career at the same time.
With this degree, you’re in control. You’ll cover core foundation topics, such as databases, digital communications, programming, information security and project management, but you’ll also go on to specialise in a particular area. Choose from:
- business analysis
- network engineering
- software development
- systems administration.
Your other option is to look at the Bachelor of Computer Science. Studied online or on our Bathurst campus, you can choose to study the generic degree – or specialise in games programming.
If you choose to specialise, your subjects will focus on the latest in games design, programming apps for Android, programming games engines (such as Unity) and computer graphics.
On the other hand, if you follow the generic computer science stream, you’ll have the chance to pick subjects that will teach you all about the latest developments in cloud computing or mobile application development. Or you can study information security, databases and more.
With either degree, you’re in good hands.
Our IT teaching staff are experts – they know their stuff. They have strong connections to industry, so you can be confident that the topics you’re learning are relevant to the real-world. These close ties with industry will also give you the edge when it comes to applying for jobs after graduation, because you know what employees are looking for.
Take your career further: study IT at postgraduate level
If you’ve already developed your foundational IT skills, you can take your career even further with our range of postgraduate courses. Ms Bhattacharya sees flexibility as a key part of postgraduate IT study at Charles Study.
“In the Master of Information Technology course, students can choose from as many as ten different specialisations to suit their needs. These specialisations range from conventional IT areas such as software design and development or networking, to the relatively recent data science or cyber security fields. These courses are designed with the employability of graduates in mind.
“In some cases, students can even design or customise their own IT course by choosing from a broad range of subjects that suit their interests and career requirements. For example, our Graduate Certificate in Industry Computing allows students to design their own short postgraduate IT course by choosing from a broad range of industry-oriented subjects.”
Our goal? To help you make your next career move count. There’s plenty of postgrad specialisations for you to explore – and they all ensure that your career is futureproofed.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing has caused a big shift from the traditional way businesses think about IT resources. Your specialist knowledge will help organisations deliver computing services – servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, intelligence and more – over the cloud.
Study our Master of Cloud Computing and Virtualisation and be at the forefront of technology advancement.
Cyber Security
Cyber security skills are in high demand, but people with these skills are in short supply. A recent government report notes that the demand is expected to rise by almost 39 per cent a year to 2026.
So if you’re thinking about taking your career to the next level, now’s the time to study information security. Our Master of Cyber Security has a strong technical focus. You’ll cover cutting-edge topics like digital forensics, the dark web, cyberwarfare and terrorism. And you’ll learn from leading industry experts. They will equip you with the skills to make a difference in the online world.
