Overview

The course is primarily a re-training degree, intended to give graduates from other disciplines the core skills required by an IT or IS practitioner. The 11 core subjects which make up the MITSAdv give students the fundamental skills of Information Systems development.

Credit Transfer Arrangements

Students articulating from the Master of Information Technology Studies Advanced to the Master of Information & Communication Technology (MICT) or Master of Information & Communication Technology Advanced (MICTAdv) may be eligible for up to 18cp of credit transfer. Students should note the following 2 constraints on this credit transfer:

i) if students use up to 18 cp of MTS subjects towards to MICT or MICTAdv they will not be eligible for the major in Information Systems Development in the or MICT or MICTAdv;

ii) if students undertake the Enterprise Systems Management program in MITS, they may use up to 18cp of ISIT subjects towards the MICT or MICTAdv. However, they must NOT take more than 3 subjects from the core of that program (ie of the MICT core). If a student had done 4 subjects from the MICT core while completing the MITS he or she would not be able to count the fourth subject and so would not be able to complete one of the requirements of the MICT or MICT(Adv).
