Bachelor of Information Technology and Bachelor of Science

In an age of increasing technological advancements the synergy between science and information technology will only become stronger. IT underpins virtually all areas of science and the world needs graduates who can straddle both.

In this double degree course you will acquire creative and analytical skills to use IT to advance science. This could be anything from designing a stunning visualisation of scientific data, to building an app for fieldwork data collection to setting up the business IT processes to deliver a scientific product via the internet.

Depending on the IT major you choose, you could:

• use your technical skills from software development to create simulations and visualisations for anything from weather forecasting to threatened species population modelling
• apply your creative skills and design flair from interactive media or games development to create an app or game that gets kids excited about science
• use your practical understanding of business information systems to launch a science-enabled online business
• put your networks and security skills to work setting up the scientific instrumentation for tsunami warning or monitoring ice melts in Antarctica.
