at ATMC - Federation University - Sydney Campus Australia

The Master’s course covers the key knowledge and skills required for engineering project and resource planning and execution. This includes contracts and costing, business analysis and decision making, the global management environment, human and financial resources, risk, and research methodology. You will also undertake an independent piece of research in the last year of your course.

The unique course structure will ensure you are well prepared to make your mark, not only in Australia, but worldwide, where efficient and competent planning and execution of large projects, particularly in infrastructure, is essential in ensuring the success of key global industries.

Graduates of this program will have be able to design, implement and maintain IT systems using a well-informed software engineering approach and create high quality software in a systematic and efficient manner. Graduates may find employment in a wide range of industries including security and defence, education, aerospace, health, business, and finance.

This program provides an opportunity for you to develop an advanced understanding of data science by incorporating and interpreting complex information, concepts and theories to relevant disciplines, using data science tools and methods to manage, process, and analyse data.

Throughout the program, you will utilise your skills to handle large volumes of data, working with real-time data, cloud computing, unstructured data and statistical models.

This course aims to provide students with a pathway to a research career in IT, building their overall understanding of Information Technology and academic research.

Course Outline
Students without a background in IT can undertake this program and gain both the background IT knowledge plus the research skills to go on to further research-oriented study. Upon completion, students will have a broad understanding of Information Technology plus a strong understanding of academic research in the discipline.

This program has a coursework component that is comparable to a graduate diploma in Information Technology that focuses on Software Engineering and Enterprise Systems Technology. Additionally, the course work provides an exploration of required research skills and methodology training to undertake a career in research.

This program also requires students to undertake an individual academic research project that is equivalent in size and depth to an Australian Honours thesis. This project will be carried out by working with a research supervisor. This project will contribute new knowledge to the chosen field.

The Bachelor of Information Technology (Mobile App Development) develops students to take on the rapidly growing mobile app industry, which now has hundreds of millions of users every day. This three-year degree will teach you the key IT skills you will need in the workplace, with a particular focus on designing and building mobile apps. You will also learn about the security risks involved with such technologies. You will study wireless communications, mobile networks, cloud computing and more.

The Graduate Diploma of Professional Accounting has been developed as both an entry point and exit point for the Master of Professional Accounting. Please see Master of Professional Accounting for further program outline information.

This degree provides the opportunity to learn new programming languages, architecture, and paradigms to create new software applications for a successful career in the IT Industry. 

Course Outline
You will complete subjects in dynamic web development, data structures and algorithms and agile coding, in addition to electives that will add breadth and depth to your studies.

The curriculum reflects the current and future needs of practicing software developers, aimed to advance your skills in first and second year of the curriculum so that you can apply your knowledge to a final year project.

On completion, you may seek employment that involves identifying new areas of software process improvements to produce measurable business benefits. Your communication skills will be an asset in this area, as you report on project progress, anomalies, risks and issues.

Graduates may also be involved in software release and post-release activities, including product launches, and implementation roles such as installation, configuration, programming/customisation, integration, and data migration.

This degree will enable students to apply strategic creativity and innovation to protect data using ethical hacking to test systems and security protocols.

Course Outline
Learn how to defend business, government and individual databases that hold sensitive data. Employment in this area has experienced strong growth over the last ten years and is forecast to continue.

Your specialisation in security will allow you to be on the frontline of the war in cyberspace and become familiar with methods attackers use. You will learn how to investigate and protect against security breaches on vulnerable private information, whilst developing an understanding of the security models provided by the major operating systems involved in modern computer networks.

Through core studies and practicals, you will delve into networks, their protocols and hardware, to investigate how these systems can be vulnerable to a malicious attack. Your problem-solving skills will come to the fore when ethical hacking – testing a system to break-in or to find weak points.

As a network architect, or an IT security specialist, you can look forward to a varied career in information security or IT operations.
