I'll try and give an overview of the standard first year IT subjects in the BScIT/BIT/BScIT Innovation and BBus/BComp courses, so potential students have an idea of what to expect.
Overall, you are looking at about 3-4 hours per subject. You usually do 4 subjects per semester, giving you a total of 12-14 hours a week, usually in 3-4 days, depending on your timetable.
The standard program for the BScIT (and BIT for first semester) involves the following IT subjects in your first year:
- Object Oriented Programming
- Principles of Distributed Computing
- Networking 1
- Information, Classification and Control
- Object Oriented Design
- Distributed Computing Architecture
- Networking 2
- Introduction to Collaborative Systems
BScIT: http://www.handbook.uts.edu.au/it/ug/c10152.html
BIT: http://www.handbook.uts.edu.au/it/ug/c10143.html
The standard program for the BBBus/BComp involves the following core IT subjects (introductory):
- Information Systems Principles
- Programming Fundamentals
- Systems Modelling
- Computer Fundamentals
- Database Principles
- Networking Fundamentals
BBus/BComp: http://www.handbook.uts.edu.au/it/ug/c10219.html

DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECTS
31465 Object Oriented Programming
- This subject includes 1 lecture (2 hours), 1 tutorial (1 hour) and 1 lab (1 hour) to give you a total of 4 hours a week.
- This subject is an introductory programming subject which covers the basics of programing, more specifically, object-oriented (OO) languages. The programming language Java is used.
- It covers the basic programming constructs of most programming languages, such as variables, selection statements, repetition statements and arrays.
- It is a fairly practical subject with some theory based concepts here and there. It will require a fair amount of logical thinking. Most of the work in this subject will be lab based work writing actual code.
- Not really any group work in this subject.
31466 Principles of Distributed Computing
- This subject includes 1 tutorial (2 hours) and 1 lab (1-2 hours) to give you a total of 3-4 hours a week.
- This subject is an introduction to computing which covers the basics of computers and how they work.
- It covers topics such as binary and hexadecimal numbers, hardware inside a computer, operating systems, networks and distributed websites. The lab side of the subject teaches you basic UNIX and HTML.
- It is a combination of a practical and theory based subject, though most of what is taught is theoretical. The theory exams will concentrate on the theory topics above while the practical exams will test your UNIX and HTML skills.
- Not really any group work in this subject.
31467 Networking 1
- This subject includes 1 lab (4 hours) only (combined lecture, tutorial and lab) to give you a total of 4 hours a week.
- This subject is an introduction to computer networks. It covers Semester 1 (of 4) of the professionally recognised CCNA course.
- It covers topics such as what networks are and how they work, different hardware such as hubs, switches, routers, how to make cables and the different types of network cables and subnetting and how to work out IP addresses on a network.
- It is a fairly practical hands-on subject where most concepts are taught by doing the lab material. The theory concepts are taught during the lab. The exams will test both theoretical and practical skills through a practical exam.
- There is a group work in this subject usually via a practical hands-on exam.
