The Institute of Technology Australia's curriculum has been developed by a team of highly experienced academics from universities throughout Australia. Each subject has been specifically designed to produce an interactive learning experience. Textbooks and recommended readings supplement the online material and provide a rich source of information. All online courses are fully accredited by Australia's Queensland Minister for Education, Training and the Arts.

If you tell us that your internet access or your computer doesn’t meet these requirements, or if we have concerns about telecommunications reliability in your local area, you’ll need to study through one of our study support centres.

You’ll also need to study through one of our study support centres if we think you’re not making satisfactory progress in your studies because of inadequate IT infrastructure.

Each IOTA degree provides students with a structured, progressive, modular approach to study. Alternative entry and exit points to the overall degree and flexible time frames allow students to tailor their course to suit their goals. The nested qualifications give you the flexibility to take a break from studies, with a recognised award, and come back to complete the degree at your convenience.
