Master of Information Technology And Systems (MITS)
There are frequent and exciting developments and changes happening in the IT industry all the time. The Master of Information Technology And Systems degree (MITS) equips you with the latest knowledge for the workplace. It is for both career changers and the ambitious, often the key to leadership and that next promotion.
There is a lot of choice out there in providers of a MIT degree. Many of these degrees, however, can be narrowly focused and more coding oriented, locking you into hyperspecialised knowledge. This may limit some of your employment options/paths.
A MITS degree on the other hand, as the name suggests, takes a systems wide approach. We believe this may expand your potential employment paths and ensure your knowledge stays more future-relevant in a fast and ever-changing world.
There are few providers that offer you the flexibility of an online degree in the information technology space, whereas we do. So you can study with us no matter where you are, at your own pace.
I am a team leader for an internship project for a Melbourne based organisation, involved in developing cost effective cloud-based solutions for database storage with data security, user authentication, resource scalability and load balancing. This internship has provided me with an opportunity to apply my skills to real world industry challenges.

Why would you recommend I study a Master of Information Technology & Systems (MITS) degree at VIT instead of just a Master of Information Technology (MIT) degree elsewhere?
There is a lot of choice out there in providers of a MIT degree. Many of these degrees, however, can be narrowly focused and more coding oriented, locking you into hyperspecialised knowledge. This may limit some of your employment options/paths.
A MITS degree on the other hand, as the name suggests, takes a systems wide approach. We believe this may expand your potential employment paths and ensure your knowledge stays more future-relevant in a fast and ever-changing world.
In addition, there are very few providers that offer you the flexibility of an online degree in the information technology space, whereas we do. So you can study with us no matter where you are in Australia, at your own pace.
What is the difference between full time and part time study?
Full time means you study 6-8 units in an academic year. Part time gives you the flexibility to take a lighter course load, which gives many working people more flexibility. Part time study is only available to students not on student visa. It is estimated each unit could take between 6 and 10 hours each week of classes, readings and assignments. This can vary depending on how quickly a student becomes familiar with the course material.
Can I enrol in the Master of Information Technology & Systems (MITS) degree without an undergraduate degree in a related field?
You need a minimum of an undergraduate degree to enrol in the MITS degree. It can be in any discipline and does not have to be in information technology.
Is there financial aid available?
Financial aid is available depending on your circumstances and where you are resident. Please contact our team at enrol@vit.edu.au to know more.
Domestic students do not have financial aid, but they may be eligible for FEE-HELP from the government and could be eligible for our scholarships.
In addition, New Zealand citizens may be eligible for FEE-HELP.
In order to be deemed eligible to access FEE-HELP a New Zealand Special Category Visa holder must:
- have first entered Australia at least 10 years ago as a dependent child aged under 18 years of age; and
- have been ordinarily resident in Australia for the previous 10 years (that is, you have been physically present in Australia for at least eight out of the past 10 years) and 18 months out of the last two years at the time of application for the loan; and
- meet all other eligibility for FEE-HELP.
