Programs designed for Industry
Our curricula are all designed and taught in consultation with our Industry Partners. With our fresh teaching approach we can prepare your IT professionals for the next wave of technological change through a tailored degree or workshop. As new and emerging technologies break onto the scene, we incorporate them into our teaching program.
In line with our philosophy that an even mix of conceptual and practical material is vital, our units of study are taught by experienced academics in partnership with industry professionals. Senior management staff of organisations teach in our units, in areas like management, enterprise architecture, security and data mining. We believe that only practicing managers can effectively teach project management practice, and in our case, the unit convenor is a manager with 15 years of experience in this area.
