Graduates from this course are highly sought after and often find employment well before they graduate. This course fast tracks you into industry in only three years and has a track record of 100% employment for its graduates. Most go on to work with their sponsor organisations.

The Scholarship

If your application is successful, you will receive about $14,000 during each year of your studies. This scholarship is funded by high profile industry partners, who may be your future employers. BInfTech graduates are first choice recruits for the sponsoring companies and other well-known organisations.

Can I Defer an Offer of Enrolment into this Course?

It is difficult to defer an offer of enrolment into the Bachelor of Information Technology course, because of our reliance on annual sponsor support to provide scholarships, industry semesters and other essential elements of the course. Unlike other courses, no guarantee can be made of how many sponsored student places will be available in future years.

But there is a way of effectively deferring an offer of enrolment into the Bachelor of Information Technology course. If you are considering taking a "gap year" before starting your university study, then you should apply for the Bachelor of Information Technology course in the year that you are finishing school and attend the interview if selected. If you subsequently decide to defer starting your university study for 12 months, you can request that your application and the report of your interview panel be re-considered as an application for the following year's intake. This would mean not having to attend an interview in November of the following year, when you may be overseas. This arrangement can only be made for those applicants whose application and performance at interview resulted in them being short-listed for an offer in the first place.
