Information technology (IT) is everywhere, but its power comes from the creative intelligence of the people behind it. Become the expert who designs and creates the IT systems we all rely on.

This highly practical course gives you the problem-solving skills you need to drive the ongoing revolution in the way we:

• communicate
• conduct business
• experience the world

At Australia's leading IT Faculty, you will learn from the best in a cutting-edge environment.Through real-world industry projects or placements, and with generous scholarships available, you'll hit the ground running - ready to embark on an exciting career.

Software development

Software does everything from dispensing medicine to controlling flight paths and monitoring and shaping our shopping habits. As a software developer, you will build the applications that underpin contemporary life.

The Monash Software development major will provide you with all the skills including software analysis, design and implementation. You will learn to analyse an organisation's needs and gain the technological skills needed to create robust and elegant software, from mobile apps to web services and large-scale enterprise systems.

You will acquire high-level programming proficiency, but software development goes well beyond writing code. Most information technology (IT) systems are too complicated for a single person to produce and maintain, meaning that teams of people have to work together to create the sophisticated systems we use every day. So, we help you develop skills in team-based development, IT project-management and quality assurance.

You will flourish as a problem solver, learning to blend technical expertise with flexibility, and logic with innovation. You will be creative and adaptive, dealing with real-world constraints such as cost, time and risk, producing software that is both reliable and efficient.

In the full-year Industry Experience project, you will be part of a team developing an IT application for a real-world client. Here you will enhance all your technical skills across all the development stages, from user requirements to analysis, design, implementation and testing. You will also build your 'soft' skills in teamwork, project management and communication.

If you are accepted into the Industry Based Learning (IBL) program, this major gives you the option of a second placement.
