The Information Technology major provides students with an introduction to the fundamentals of information technology. Two electives allow students to develop particular areas of interest. Bachelor of Business students should note that this major will only be recognised when taken in conjunction with another full major offered by a School or Schools within the Faculty of Business.

Students enrolled in the following degrees, or any other combined degree, are ineligible to undertake the Information Technology major in the Bachelor of Business, effective Autumn semester 2001: Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Business (C10065); Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Business, Diploma in Engineering Practice (C10068); Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Computing (C10219); Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Laws (C10125); Bachelor of Biotechnology, Bachelor of Business (C10169); Bachelor of Medical Science, Bachelor of Business (C10163); Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Business (C10162). Students enrolled in these courses are required to complete a Business major offered by a School or Schools within the Faculty of Business, effective Autumn semester 2001.

Students who commenced the Information Technology major prior to 2002 should refer to the 2001 Faculty of Business handbook for completion requirements.

Students should note that while the University makes every endeavour to allow students to complete majors and sub-majors in the shortest possible time, enrolment in some specific optional subjects may be subject to the availability of places.

Some programming subjects require an understanding of UNIX; students should check with the Subject Coordinator whether this is a requirement. A self-teaching package is available.
