Degrees plus

There is a strong demand for postgraduate programs that lead to multiple awards and/or multi-disciplinary qualifications. As such the University of Sydney has developed a range of 2 year full-time postgraduate IT packages.

Master of IT (MIT) + Master of IT Management (MITM)

Students can combine Master of IT with the Master of IT Management into a two year program that covers both the technical and managerial aspects of IT, and graduate with two masters degrees.

Graduate Diploma in Computing (GDC) + Master of IT (MIT)

For graduates from other disciplines who want to convert to the field of IT, the packaging of the 1 year Graduate Diploma in Computing and the Masters of Information Technology provides a 2 year full-time structured program of IT studies leading to an ACS Professional Level qualification.

Research Path in MIT/MITM

The Research Path is a unique opportunity available to postgraduate Masters students in the School of IT. Students participating in the Research Path option spend a significant portion of their degree working on an IT research project and acquiring research related skills. Completion of this option allows you to apply for a research degree, Master of Philosophy (MPhil) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). Eligibility for the Research Path option is conditional on academic performance, typically a distinction average or above in the first semester of full-time study or equivalent. If you’re interested in a career in Information Technology research, then you should consider the Research Path option.

MIT or MITM Research Path + Master of Philosophy (MPhil)

This is a 2 year program consisting of an MIT or MITM (min 1 year) and an MPhil (min 1 year). Students with a computing/information degree and a distinction average, may apply for this package. Students enrolled in the degree, must also satisfy the following progression requirements:

1. Maintenance of a distinction average for the first 24 credit points of their MIT degree;
2. Enrol in an 18 credit point project and a 6 credit point research methods course, and maintain a credit average.
3. Satisfactorily complete a 48 credit point thesis for their MPhil.

Combining your studies with Applied Science, Engineering Science, Design Science or Health Science

The MIT and MITM degrees can also be packaged with courses in Applied Science, Engineering, Health Science and Design Science to provide a comprehensive multi-disciplinary 2 year study option. Students need to meet the admission requirements for both degrees to be eligible for the package.
