Understanding the Digital Revolution

HENAI1100 Understanding the Digital Revolution

This course provides students with a broad foundation in Information Technology (IT), and establishes its context in society both historically and into the future. Students will develop an understanding of IT as a process that collects, stores, transports and transforms data to provide information and streamline practices. The course will cover the lifecycle of data and introduces students to topics such as hardware, software, operating systems, input and output, data storage and manipulation, coding, networking and security, and privacy. This course also acts as an introduction to the Business Systems stream, and will therefore investigate many of the above concepts through a lens of how such systems have revolutionised a range of businesses and industries.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $1,192
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $1,192

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
