Information Technology degrees

Although these fields all center on computing, they differ in focus. Information Technology is about applying tech solutions in real-world settings and involves managing systems, networks, and databases to support business operations. Computer science leans more toward the theoretical side, including algorithms and data structures, while software engineering focuses on designing and building software systems using structured processes.

UniSQ’s Bachelor of Information Technology brings together practical and technical elements from across these areas, giving you broad, industry-relevant skills for a wide range of careers in tech and IT.
