Is Charles Sturt a good university for IT?

The real-world experience the IT Masters lecturers brought to each subject… made these subjects tangible and relevant.

What appealed to me was that it is all designed for busy professionals.

I knew people who had studied at ITM-CSU, and it really aligned with what I needed in my job.

Steven – Master of Networking and Systems Administration

I’ve spent a lot of time studying for industry certifications – why study a top ranking Postgraduate IT course?

A Master’s is a great choice for IT professionals looking to expand both their technical and management horizons. On average, those with a Master’s degree earn around 35% more than undergraduates.

IT Masters recognises the hard work that goes into obtaining industry certifications. Often, the material covered is very similar, so we offer subject credits for select certifications. There are currently over 200 certifications eligible for credit, from CCNA, AWS, and CISSP to PRINCE2 and CEH. You can check your eligibility using our online credit finder tool.

How much does it cost to study a Masters?

The answer is, “It depends.” IT Masters course advisors are experts at helping you plan your study to minimise both cost and time. Several factors contribute to the overall cost:

  • Credits from your industry certifications
  • Credits from previous university studies
  • Credit from passing 3 ITM Free University Short Courses
  • Credits for being an ACS Certified Professional or Certified Technician
  • Availability of Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) funding for graduate certificates that lead to a Masters
  • Deferring payments using FEE-HELP

Using these avenues, you can reduce the cost of your Master’s degree by up to 50% (e.g., only $22,932 instead of $46,680). With CSP funding, you can study selected graduate certificates for as little as $4,464 (a saving of 71%).
