Master of Internet Technology
Introduction
The Telecommunications and Information Technology Research
Institute (TITR) and the School of Electrical, Computer and
Telecommunications Engineering offer a course leading to the
award of the Master of Internet Technology (MIT).
The objective of the MIT degree is to provide advanced knowledge
and specialist skills on a broad range of Internet technologies
and systems. The Internet is recognized as the primary driving
force that is providing the impetus for the rapidly evolving
online economy, electronic commerce and the proliferation
of virtual communities and interest groups.
The MIT degree is designed to enable a wide range of entry
to candidates who have existing technical qualifications or
who have significant experience in related fields or to candidates
from areas when a fundamental understanding of Internet Technology
is crucial for the evolution of that particular area. The
latter aspect recognizes the fact that many other areas of
industrial and commercial endeavor will need to understand
the broad range of Internet Technology in order to take full
advantage of its potential and to realise its strategic value.
Entrance Requirements
-
Candidates with an undergraduate Australian university
degree, with a grade average of at least 60%, in Telecommunications
Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering,
Computer Science or equivalent will have direct entry
to the MIT degree.
-
Applicants with a degree in areas other than those identified
above plus at least two years relevant computer/internet
related employment experience may be considered by the
Faculty.
-
Applicants with an undergraduate degree but who do not
have the required background for direct entry may complete
a suitable preparatory program. Options include:
i the MIT preparatory program offered through approval
offshore partners, or
ii a 24 credit point preparatory program on campus in
Wollongong as approved by the course co-ordinator.
Program of Study
Candidates who are deemed to have adequate background qualifications
or experience will take two sessions of full-time study to
complete the MIT degree at the University of Wollongong. During
these two sessions the candidates are expected to undertake
48 credit points of course work including a project related
to their area of preferred major study (specific details are
included below). Candidates who are applying on the basis
of limited existing experience or limited background qualifications
will need to successfully complete an entrance examination
to assess their potential ability to complete the MIT degree.
Candidates who do not meet initial entry requirements may
still be accepted provisionally but will be expected to satisfactorily
complete a preparatory study program. The preparatory study
program will be based on existing undergraduate offerings
within the Faculty of Informatics. The preparatory study program
can also be undertaken at other universities or qualified
institutions.
