OVERVIEW

Businesses today face challenges due to the rapid speed of growth of global information technologies. How can they build networks that are accessible yet safe?

The Bachelor of Networking shows you how. You’ll learn to build and maintain secure information and communication systems. So, you can create systems fit for today and the future.

The new Software Engineering major adds in-demand skills to MIT’s leading networking degree. Learn to create reliable, high quality software solutions for clients.

With cutting edge-industry projects, and courses led by industry experts, you’ll gain specialist skills and knowledge to design and maintain computer networks. These core skills will give you critical skills as the industry continues to evolve.

CAREER PATHS

Graduates of the Bachelor of Networking with a major in Software Engineering can find work in software driven business.

With the skills in networking, project management and advanced technologies, you’ll open the door to many opportunities. Be part of the next stage in development in cyber security, the internet of things, robotics or software-driven enterprise computing systems.

Roles include:

The Bachelor of Networking course is made up of common core units, a major stream or specialism and elective units. To graduate from the degree students must complete 360 credit points overall. Each unit is worth 15 credit points.

This includes 18 core units + 4 major units (BN223, BN309, BN323, and BN324) + 2 elective units.

All Bachelor of Networking degrees at MIT have the same core units. We build the solid foundations students need to design, implement, secure and maintain computer network technologies and communication systems.

The course focuses on the practical and theoretical aspects of computer hardware, software, programming, information systems, network security, database technologies, software engineering and project management.

Students study advanced topics such as wireless network and security, advanced internetworking design, and enterprise cyber security.
