The Bachelor of Applied Information Technology is a unique program with an emphasis on employability, entrepreneurship and experience.
This program provides you with core and relevant applied IT skills with a specific focus on getting you job-ready.

Throughout the program, you will grow your employability skills and develop entrepreneurial thinking through formal classes and substantial practical experiences. The series of practical projects for industry or research placement, completed in second and third year, provide first-hand experience of knowledge, skills and other capabilities required to succeed in full-time employment.
The program gets you to think entrepreneurially about how you can use your applied IT skills to maximise your potential with your employer or to even start-up your own business venture.
This degree program is offered full-time and part-time. Courses are offered in blended learning mode which range from fully online to, where access to specialised hardware is required, on-campus only. Courses are also offered in intensive mode in Trimester 3.
To be classed as a full-time student, you are required to enrol in a minimum number of credit points each standard study period. The minimum credit points for full-time enrolment in this program is 30 credit points.
Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 are deemed standard study periods. As Trimester 3 is a non-standard study period, continuing students moving from one year to the next will not be required to study during this trimester to be eligible for student income support.
Domestic students who commence in Trimester 3 may be eligible for student income support from the onset of study provided they are enrolled full-time in this study period.

Students must complete a 20 credit point Work Integrated Learning component in their third year.
This Work Integrated Learning component can be taken as either an Industry Affiliates Program (IAP) or a team-based Industry Project. IAP has been designed to integrate students into the workplace through the completion of an industry based project. It is designed to benefit both the student as well as the industry partner. IAP requires both an industry professional supervisor and an academic supervisor. The maximum workplace attendance requirement will be 2.5 days a week (20 hours) over 13 weeks (i.e. 260 hours). The Industry Project option for the Work Integrated Learning course requires students to analyse, design and propose an innovative solution to a computer-based information system or how to leverage technology for an existing problem within an organisation. The School of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has ample projects for students to undertake.
The inclusion of work-integrated learning in this degree program demonstrates Griffith's commitment to preparing its graduates for success in their working life.
Core courses prepare students for careers in: computer security, IT support roles, software acquisition, software integration, software enhancement/maintenance and database support.
Those students who complete the Information Systems major will have additional opportunities in business analysis, IT management, Information Systems architecture design and project management.
