Study IT Course In Australia
Master of Information Technology (Mainframe Computing)


Do a Master of Information Technology degree in Australia that provides exceptionally good job prospects around the world. Mainframe computers provide the core systems for big companies and government departments in the US, Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada and now in India, China, Brazil and many other countries. Information Technology professionals with strong mainframe information technology qualifications are uniquely well placed to succeed in these organisations.


One of the few real mainframe computer information technology degrees in the world, the postgraduate program of study in mainframe computing at the University of Canberra is designed for students who have an undergraduate IT degree or a non-IT degree. This information technology course is for Australians and for students from overseas. If you are thinking of studying computing in Australia, this is the course to do.


There are two versions of the degree:

    * Master of Information Technology (Mainframe Computing), consisting of 12 units, and

    * Master of Information Technology in Mainframe Computing (Advanced), consisting of 16 units.


The Mainframe Computing stream consists of six mainframe units and all are compulsory for you to graduate with a prestigious MIT in mainframe computing. You will select other units from the postgraduate program at University of Canberra to create a truly international standard degree.


You will be intensively accessing an actual mainframe environment supplied by IBM and supported by Global Online Learning. This is not just a brief exposure to a mainframe, you will be using our mainframe system every week when you are studying the mainframe subjects. During that time you have unlimited access to do prescribed exercises and to explore and extend your mainframe skills.


The knowledge you will gain through this information technology degree will give you the skills needed to work in any IBM mainframe environment in the world, including the ability to start working in mainframe application development, mainframe system management and mainframe database administration. Studying information technology in Australia with this degree will create many opportunities for you.


Our lecturers typically each have more than 20 years experience working with IBM mainframes, each with a different specialisation -- so they really know mainframes. They provide rigorous knowledge of the subjects taught but they also provide invaluable insight into what is done in practice when working on mainframe systems. They provide a thoroughly practical immersion in mainframe systems and in the corporate computing environments in which they are used.


If you have an undergraduate degree in IT, that the University of Canberra deems equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree, you can normally enrol in the 12 unit MIT (Mainframe Computing) and study four units per semester over three semesters, or study on a part time basis. If you have a non-IT degree that the University of Canberra deems equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree, or for other reasons wish to do the 16 unit degree, the University will tailor the degree program for you over four semesters of study so that you graduate with the MIT in Mainframe Computing (Advanced).


It is also possible to undertake shorter postgraduate studies in mainframe computing to gain a Graduate Diploma in Mainframe Computing.


Information for international students about Permanent Residence in Australia, possible work experience, and the University of Canberrra is available here. Assistance is also available, at no charge, in completing and submitting the application form for enrolment and in applying for a student visa to study in Australia.
