While many think that information technology (IT) is about computer games and being the person they call when they can’t connect to the internet, IT is one of the largest and fastest-growing industries in the world. As more companies move to the cloud, 5G rolls out and global IT spending rising, it’s an industry that is booming.
Broadly, IT is an all-encompassing term that includes anything that uses computers to store, transmit, receive or manipulate data. It covers everything from hardware creation and repairs, software and app development to artificial intelligence and machine learning.
40 years ago, this industry did not exist. The first real personal computer was sold in 1984, and the industry has snowballed since then. Now, there is no limit on the market—in 2018 in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) alone, IT spending was $973 billion.
IT programs at the universities, colleges and institutions of Australia range from short certificates through to postgraduate degrees. Generally, an entry level certificate is a single year-long, and it gives you basic insight into a small segment of the industry such as HTML coding. Then, there are other certificates or degrees you can do to complement this.
An IT diploma is also 12 months but is more in depth; offering a range of languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create basic apps, websites and programs.
A Bachelor in Computer Science/ Software Engineering/ Computer Forensics/ Information Security/ Data Science is a full time 4-to-5-year course that gives you a great grounding for whatever career you choose. In addition to the fact that it gives you a broad overview of the basics, it also allows you to deep dive into your specialty and subjects of interest.
Graduate certificates are either 6 or 12 months long and give you an extra layer of knowledge that helps you understand and specialise in a specific IT field.
A Master in Engineering/ Data Science/ IT and Technology Management ranges between 1 and 3 years. These papers give high-level information about fields of interest and offers a pathway into excellent job opportunities.
Application requirements to a bachelor’s degree in IT in Australia differ from institution to another, however, the main and general admission requirements include:
