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.

- Candidates with an undergraduate degree from a recognised tertiary
institution, with a grade average of at least 60%, in Computer,
Electrical or Telecommunications Engineering, Computer science,
Information Technology 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 work
experience may be considered by the Faculty.
- Applicants with an undergraduate degree but who do not meet
the requirements for direct entry may be eligable after satisfactory
