Overview

This Master of Information Technology in Internet of Things programme from Macquarie University aims to provide graduates with the advanced skills needed to successfully design, maintain and manage computer networks

Key facts

The world's ever-increasing reliance on network communication places these skills in continuing high demand.

The high level skills in advanced networking encompass state of the art developments in networking, and the design and evaluation of network technologies and services. Furthermore, key employability skills such as communication and collaboration are imparted along with hands on practical work. The course also provides a pathway to existing IT professionals to update their knowledge and skills in the area of internetworking.

In this course students will build their knowledge and skills in the technical and theoretical aspects of computing. The course is intended to meet the Australian Computer Society professional standards for ICT courses which includes the underlying core body of knowledge in IT and the professional and ethical responsibilities relevant to working in the IT industry.

The units in the course are taught using a combination of lecture and small-group classes, augmented by learning activities outside of class.

Lectures introduce concepts and techniques, particularly by example, and provide an opportunity for staff and students to discuss areas of difficulty. In some units, lectures are augmented by prepared videos that cover the basic material and the classes are mostly used for clarifying discussion.

Small-group classes (e.g., tutorials and practicals) give students an opportunity to work on exercises that reinforce the concepts and techniques from lectures with the guidance of a tutor. Many units feature practical exercises that are completed in a computer laboratory or on a student's own computer.

Learning materials are selected as appropriate from textbooks, locally-produced lecture notes and exercises, and online materials. In many units students will learn to use software and tools to achieve practical outcomes. We have a preference for open source software that students may obtain and study without cost or prohibitive licensing.
