Career pathways

The ICT industry is constantly growing and so are employment opportunities. Industry and recruitment agencies are currently facing a shortage of skilled ICT professionals.

ICT skills are required in just about every industry, from areas like e-commerce to the health sector to the entertainment industry, and hence our graduates find employment in a wide range of jobs. Their roles in systems and software development are as analysts, architects, designers, developers, programmers and project managers. They can be involved in managing sophisticated computing facilities, such as distributed computer systems implemented over complex computer networks, or business information systems supported by large databases.

Professional accreditation

Professional membership and accreditation is available from the Australian Computer Society (ACS), the recognised association for ICT professionals, with a large and active membership. Our graduates are eligible to become associates of the ACS upon graduation and full professional members after four years relevant experience.
