Recommended HSC Syllabuses

To get the most out of your studies at AIT, we highly recommend that applicants take on a combination of the following syllabuses in HSC which are related to the areas of study.  Below are some recommendations:

  • Information Processing & Technology (IPT)

Students would be required to take up IPT subjects (or a Certificate II in Information Technology) prior to commencing the Diploma of IT (Multimedia) or Diploma of IT (Software Development).

  • Design & Technology

Students could get a head start with D&T subjects which will enhance their understanding of the digital production process primarily taught in our digital media courses.

  • Visual Arts

It is recommended (though not necessary) that students possess artistic skills or have a foundation of traditional art skills (such as sketching, painting and drawing) prior to commencing our digital media courses as they play a vital role in becoming a creative professional.

  • Software Design & Development

Students are introduced to the different programming languages used in the software development industry.  This is beneficial for students looking to take up the Diploma of IT (Software Development).
