Often the hardest question to answer at the start of your Masters study is “What area of Information Technology should I specialise in”? At Macquarie, we recognise that this is a question that can often only be answered after your studies have commenced. As a result we've designed our degrees so that you can start as a generalist and pick your specialisation once you've learnt more about the various options.
Indeed, there is no reason why you can't preserve the ultimate level of flexibility and choice and graduate with a non-specialised MIT degree. This allows you to combine the best parts of two or three specialisations and gain a broad experience. After all, ICT professionals rarely have the luxury of concentrating all their attention on a single area of expertise.
Our specialisations have been designed to cater to areas of particular importance to the ICT industry internationally. We strive to identify areas of specific industry skill shortages and to address them by constructing units and programs of study that address the burning issues identified by our industrial partners. This allows you to mould your career to areas of specific demand. Our goal is to prepare you for a career with global reach.
Our curricula are all designed and taught in consultation with industry, so you'll always be at the cutting edge of the latest technological developments. As new and emerging technologies break onto the scene, we incorporate them into our teaching program through special topic units. Some our most recent special topics have included Data Mining and Business Intelligence, Enterprise Architecture and Games Engineering. With our fresh teaching approach, we encourage you to suggest new topics that can be incorporated into the program.
