I just finished my first year of software engineering at RMIT and I highly recommend it. The teaching staff are mostly great and you'll meet a lot of like-minded people which will make the learning experience a lot easier and more enjoyable.

Most of the first year subjects for the IT degrees (even at different universities) are fairly similar. They'll usually consist of:

a standard programming subject (Java - also a lot of object-oriented concepts),
discrete maths,
computer architecture (learning about how a computer works at a very low-level, e.g. how the CPU works, assembly language programming, digital logic etc),
essential database concepts,
essential software engineering concepts (i.e. learn to draw pretty UML diagrams), and
networking/data communication.

You can have a look at the subjects I'm taking here: http://yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au/~s3237212/

I had about 20 contact hours in the first semester (at uni for 5 days) and about 16 for second semester (4 days) though I did skip some lectures from time to time. Make sure you attend to tutes/labs though, that's where you'll really learn the content.

Which of the degrees were you interested in? (Undergraduate degrees offered by the School of Computer Science and IT)
