Learn how to use your digital dexterity to identify and diagnose technical issues, create solutions and improve technical systems. As you study the fundamentals of problem-solving and programming, the strategies behind design thinking and the need for information processing, you’ll be equipped to help your future workplace run smoothly and innovatively. In the Bachelor of Information Technology degree, you will study essential core subjects such as Web Design and Development, Internet Fundamentals, Database Modelling, and Collective Intelligence and Entrepreneurship. Not only does JCU Information Technology equip you with an in-depth understanding of technical systems and design thinking, but it also gives you a unique opportunity to put your knowledge and skills to the test at JCU’s annual IT Design Sprint. The two-day event brings together students and industry professionals, challenging you to collectively analyse a real-world problem with your peers then design and partially implement a practical, creative solution. The attending industry professionals — who partner with JCU — are there to help you spark new ideas and carve out their potential. The annual design sprint will sharpen your skills of creating, imaging, generating, iterating, communicating and consolidating — all vital abilities of an expert IT professional.
