Australian Qualifications Framework
The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is a single national, comprehensive system of qualifications offered by higher education institutions (including universities), vocational education and training institutions and secondary schools. Each AQF qualification has a set of descriptors which define the type and complexity of knowledge, skills and application of knowledge and skills that a graduate who has been awarded that qualification has attained, and the typical volume of learning associated with that qualification type.
This program is at AQF Qualification Level 07. Graduates at this level will have broad and coherent knowledge and skills for professional work and/or further learning.
The full set of levels criteria and qualification type descriptors can be found by visiting www.aqf.edu.au.

Program fees
Commonwealth supported place
A Commonwealth supported place is where the Australian Government makes a contribution towards the cost of a students' higher education and students pay a student contribution amount, which varies depending on the courses undertaken. Students are able to calculate the fees for a particular course via the Course Fee Finder.
Commonwealth Supported students may be eligible to defer their fees through a Government loan called HECS-HELP.
Domestic full fee paying place
Domestic full fee paying places are funded entirely through the full fees paid by the student. Full fees vary depending on the courses that are taken. Students are able to calculate the fees for a particular course via the Course Fee Finder.
Domestic full fee paying students may be eligible to defer their fees through a Government loan called FEE-HELP provided they meet the residency and citizenship requirements.
Australian citizens, Permanent Humanitarian Visa holders, Permanent Resident visa holders and New Zealand citizens who will be resident outside Australia for the duration of their program pay full tuition fees and are not eligible for FEE-Help.
International full fee paying place
International students pay full fees. Full fees vary depending on the courses that are taken and whether they are studied on-campus, via distance education/online. Students are able to calculate the fees for a particular course via the Course Fee Finder.

Major studies
All students in the Bachelor of Information Technology must complete at least one major study. A major study is a set of courses that make up a coherent, in-depth study of a specific discipline.
Specific majors
In this section:
- Double Major Studies
- Applied Computer Science major
- Data Analytics major
- Information Systems Development major
- Information Technology Management major
- Networking and Security major
Double Major Studies
Students may choose to complete two majors from the Bachelor of Information Technology or they may choose to complete a second 8-unit major from the undergraduate degree programs in the area of Business, Law or Sciences. Alternately they may choose a major from the undergraduate degree programs in another area at the University of Southern Queensland. A program in which there is a first and second major is known as a 'double major'. Where a second major from another program contains less than 8 units, students must complete extra elective units, chosen from undergraduate courses offered at the University of Southern Queensland to ensure that their program contains 24 units in total. The sets of courses that make up each major in the Bachelor of Information Technology are summarised in the following tables:

Minor Studies
A minor study is a coherent group of four units of courses that provides students with an appropriate breadth of study in their program. All students, except those undertaking a second major, must complete a 4-unit minor study. Students who wish to take a minor study not listed in the recommended minors must obtain permission from the Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts. Before undertaking any course, the pre-requisite courses must be completed or exempted.
Please note:
When students select a minor(s), courses will only count towards that minor(s) if they have not already counted towards another selected major or minor. Not all minors are available on-campus at all campuses. Students may choose courses from those listed in the Minor Studies section of this Handbook. Enrolment requirements must be satisfied for any course selected.
Electives/Approved courses
Students not completing a double major must select 4 units of elective courses from courses offered at undergraduate level in the area of Business, Law or Sciences or, with the approval of the Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts, from other undergraduate courses offered at the University of Southern Queensland. Pre-requisite enrolment requirements must be satisfied for any course selected.
CSC1402 will not be approved as an elective.
IT requirements
For information technology requirements please refer to the minimum computing standards. Students completing either the Applied Computer Science major or the Networking and Security major will be required to install the Linux operating system as well as a Microsoft Windows operating system. A Linux installation DVD, together with instructions, is available from the USQ Bookshop.
Other program requirements
Students must maintain good standing in this program. Please refer to the Academic Standing, Progression and Exclusion Procedure.
Articulation
Students enrolled in the joint Diploma of Information Technology/Bachelor of Information Technology must complete the Diploma at TAFE Queensland before continuing enrolment at USQ.
Exit points
Students not wishing to complete the Bachelor of Information Technology may be permitted to exit with the Diploma of Information Technology (DITC) if they have completed 8 courses as follows:
-
at least 2 core courses from the Bachelor of Information Technology
-
6 other courses from the Bachelor of Information Technology.
Please note that students who exit with the Diploma of Information Technology (DITC) may need to undertake further study to be eligible for membership of the Australian Computer Society.
Credit
Candidates for admission to the Bachelor of Information Technology program may be eligible for up to 16 units of credit on the basis of successful completion of relevant, equivalent undergraduate study from a recognised university or institution offering equivalent study. Credit approved in this program will not automatically apply to other programs offered by USQ. Claims for credit for previous study should be submitted prior to or at the time of enrolment. Each claim will be assessed on individual merit in line with USQ policy.
Note: Where credit is granted, maximum and minimum duration will be adjusted in the same proportion as credit, e.g. where 8 units of credit is granted, maximum time will be 6 years and minimum time will be 4 semesters.
