GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES
As IT is a fundamental infrastructure, graduates of the CIHE MIT will be able to work in a range of workplace contexts and environments. A conceptual framework for information technology is likely to inform a much wider range of jobs, beyond the boundaries of the IT profession.
Over the entire program students will acquire the necessary attributes that will distinguish them as a graduate of the Institute.
- A graduate of Crown Institute of Higher Education will possess comprehensive knowledge in their discipline area and be able to apply that knowledge effectively in the workplace.
- They will be able to identify problems and work pro-actively and creatively to develop solutions and to generate, analyse and interpret different types of information to inform and support decision-making processes.
- They will be able to do the following: think logically and critically to analyse and solve problems; work with high levels of autonomy; be independent thinkers; engage with others proactively and collaboratively for continued personal and professional development;
act ethically and with an awareness of cultural diversity and will have developed their communication skills.

To satisfy the general entrance requirements for admission to the MIT course, applicants must meet at least one of the following entry requirements:
DOMESTIC APPLICANTS:
Domestic applicants with a non-cognate AQF7 credential:
- Successful completion of an Australian recognised AQF7 qualification or overseas equivalence that had been delivered in English, with a grade point average in an undergraduate program of at least 2.4, where the range is four, and an equivalent proportion for other ranges.
- Successful completion of an Australian recognised Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) or equivalent qualification that had been delivered in English, with a grade point average in an undergraduate program of at least 2.4, where the range is four, and an equivalent proportion for other ranges, or
- Successful completion of an Australian recognised Graduate Certificate in Information Technology or Graduate Diploma of Information Technology or their equivalence that have been delivered in English, with a grade point average in an undergraduate program of at least 2.4, where the range is four, and an equivalent proportion for other ranges, or
Without a cognate AQ7 credential:
- Equivalent professional experience which will allow domestic applicants to apply for RPL based on their industry experience.
INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS:
International students must meet the conditions above.
- In addition, international students whose first language is not English must demonstrate competency in the English language. English proficiency can be demonstrated by providing proof of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) overall test result (or equivalent alternative test result as defined by regulation) that meets the specified level of English proficiency specified for the course: IELTS 6.5 with no individual band below 6.0.

MODES OF STUDY ASSESSMENT
At CIHE we provide workshop-based engaged learning. All our units involve participation in 3 hours of on-campus workshop per week for 12 weeks. Each week’s workshop will require preparation – reading, activities and online work.
All our units are supported by an online learning management system – Moodle.
We use a range of assessment tasks at CIHE to help you monitor your learning – quizzes, group work, case-studies and scenario-based activities, reports and exams.
Our assessment tasks are designed to be work-oriented, that is, they are designed to mimic the real world processes involved in business so that you will be ready to start your career as an active independent professional.
