IT Professional Engagement | Federation University

ITECH7000 IT Professional Engagement

Students participate in this compulsory unit throughout their entire Bachelors or Masters program of study. During this unit students will get involved with their local IT community through attendance and participation in events, such as seminars, workshops, expos, discussion forums etc. Where possible students will also participate in short term work experience. The aim is to provide students with a broad understanding of the IT industry, its research foundations and its place in servicing society. This unit is open to students to find the activities that provide them the best transition into the workplace and allows them to connect with the area of the IT industry they are most interested. Finally, this unit allows students to build a picture of what a career may look like in the domain of their choosing.

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* $0
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $0

^ 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.
