Bachelor of Information Technology

(Multimedia Technology)

COMBINE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SKILLS WITH CREATIVITY TO GAIN A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR A CAREER IN A WIDE RANGE OF INDUSTRIES.

Multimedia Technology is all around us; when we access the internet, use an ATM or visit a movie theatre. In the Multimedia Technology course at Deakin students learn to design and author multimedia information, create electronic documents, design and manipulate databases and information systems, and develop project management skills. Leading information technology companies including IBM Australia, Telstra and Microsoft contribute to Deakin’s courses as part of the Academic Advisory Board to ensure courses are relevant and produce highly-employable graduates.

Hands-on Learning

Hands-on learning is emphasised through extensive project work and partnerships with leading multimedia authorities. Students learn how to design and author multimedia information combining audio, image, video, graphics and text. In addition, the Industry-Based Learning program gives undergraduates an opportunity to work full-time in industry as part of their degree. Many students take up internships with leading multimedia companies to gain experience in the workplace and generate contacts in the industry.

Teaching and Faculties

Small classes and accessible lecturers help students get the best out of their university education and offer a friendly learning environment. Deakin students have access to well-equipped computer laboratories and the opportunity to take CISCO units for a head start towards CISCO certification.
