Knowledge of a Discipline

Graduates demonstrate an advanced body of knowledge of information technology in a range of contexts for professional practice or scholarship and as a pathway for further learning together with a global perspective (both national and international) on the developments in information technology together with a capacity to understand the implications of international events on information technology. Knowledge of the discipline is taught and practised through unit materials, online discussions, guided readings and direct learning activities with several units addressing the global nature of information technology. Knowledge of the discipline and its global perspective is assessed through different forms of assessment appropriate to the disciplines within information technology.

Communication Skills

Oral and written communication skills via a range of media is an essential aspect of the course and graduates demonstrate communication and technical research skills to justify theoretical propositions, methodologies, conclusions and professional decisions to specialist and non-specialist audiences. These skills are taught, practised and assessed in most units within the course. The project management unit requires students to demonstrate a professional level of communication skills both with other group members and with the project client. In the research methods unit students are required to give an oral presentation as well as demonstrate written communication skills. The project units require students to demonstrate the ability to communicate the results of the research project/capstone experience.

Problem Solving

Graduates demonstrate cognitive, technical and creative skills to investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, problems, concepts and theories and to apply established theories to information technology. Students will practise and be assessed on problem solving skills throughout the course.

Information Literacy

Graduates demonstrate technical and communication skills to design, evaluate, implement, analyse, and theorise about developments that contribute to professional practice or scholarship in information technology. All units in the course require students to find and critically evaluate information from a variety of sources. This is practised and assessed throughout the course.

Ethical Conduct and Social Responsibility

Graduates demonstrate an understanding of and practice the highest standards of ethical behaviour associated with information technology. Reflection on social responsibility and professional practice in information technology is embedded in the course content. Units require students to reflect on social implications of information technology such as social networking, malicious software, identity theft and security measures.

Lifelong Learning

Information technology is a very rapidly changing field of study. Graduates demonstrate cognitive skills to demonstrate mastery of theoretical knowledge and to reflect critically on theory and professional practice or scholarship; and with high-level personal autonomy and accountability. This is taught and practised by providing core skills and exposing students to a variety of programming languages, environments and specialised systems.

Independence and Collaboration

Graduates are able to apply their skills and knowledge individually and as part of collaborative teams. They are able to work with intellectual independence, and to collaborate with technical and non-technical colleagues and customers. Working in a group environment is an essential component of the course and in the professional practice of software development. To develop these skills, a number of units in the course require students to work in groups and provide guidance and assessment on group work.
