Yendall:

I haven't studied IT at RMIT but here's some relevant info:

Elective choices: http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=v36kaxdv5ryr


--- Quote ---Program structure
The first and second years include core courses in programming, database systems, software engineering, web programming, data communication and networks, and Professional Computing Practice.

In the second year, you will choose your major area (see list below) of focus within the IT discipline. Furthermore in the second year, you will also choose one of the following options:

- A minor study in one of the following areas: Accounting and Law, Applied Communication, Economics, Finance, and Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Logistics, Management and Statistics.

- A second major or four more IT electives.

You will then choose the remainder of your courses from a wide range of IT electives and student electives. Upon completion you will graduate with a specialist IT degree that explicitly lists the chosen major:


* Application Programming
* Business Applications
* Multimedia Design
* Network Programming
* System Administration
* Web Systems

Cheers man :)

I think it looks promising. Doesn't look much different to the one you're studying now!

Yeah exactly. Most IT courses are really similar. First year consists of broad subjects, then in 2nd year you start to select your areas of specialisation. Final year has a subject/s that involves a real world industry project.

If you're interested in IT, don't worry about the prestige factor that is common in other professions. There is no such thing in IT anyway - even some TAFE grads with a bunch of irrelevant industry certs command more respect than people with bachelor degrees.

Select your course based on travel time + relevant subjects / majors that you would like to take.

I finally had that realisation today when I was in Melbourne and I saw the accessibility of RMIT in relation to me. It's right next to the state library, walking distance to Melbourne Central and just, really, the perfect position for everything. It's close to Parkville as well.

I think if I don't like it, I can always do a semester or two of Info Tech and then transfer to Comp Sci with ease. What do you think?
