This honours degree is an optional continuation of the Bachelor of Information Technology and Systems, where students complete further four units and a thesis in order to graduate with an Honours degree of the Bachelor of Information Technology and Systems.
Students are expected to develop higher-level skills related to a specific discipline area; to acquire research skills appropriate to their discipline; to understand the fundamentals of conceptual, methodological and implementation issues of IT-related research; and to conduct research in a selected area using the concepts and principles learned, which will culminate in the completion of an honours thesis.
Honours graduates have enhanced employment opportunities as employers recognise a degree with honours as a guarantee of additional skills, knowledge and achievement. Honours graduates often progress to further study, utilising research skills gained during their honours year.
