<div>{{Short description|NSW HSC elective course}}<br />
'''Information processes and technology''' ('''IPT''') is the study of [[information system]]s and the processes and technology involved in them. IPT is also a subject offered to senior [[high school]] students in [[Australia]] in university entrance exams such as the [[Higher School Certificate (New South Wales)|HSC]] in New South Wales. It focuses on giving the student an understanding of [[information technology]], information processes and the skills to create [[information systems]] and some basic [[Computer programming|programming]] skills. Some of the social and ethical issues of computer systems may also be included in the course of the subject.<br />
<br />
In [[New South Wales]], IPT is separated into the preliminary (year 11) and HSC (year 12) courses. A prerequisite for the HSC course is successful completion of the preliminary course. In June 2009 the course from 2010 to 2018 was detailed in the NSW [[Board of Studies]] syllabus,<ref name="HSCIPT">{{cite book | url = http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/ipt-st6-syl-from2010.pdf | title = Information Processes and Technology Stage 6 Syllabus | publisher = [[Board of Studies]] | date = June 2009 | accessdate = 26 February 2013 | isbn = 978-1-74147-719-1 }}</ref> which was renamed to the [[New South Wales Education Standards Authority]] (''NESA'') from 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/wcm/connect/b255b127-cb94-4a7a-bf29-40b26cc02b7a/ipt-st6-syl-from2010+Information+Processes+and+Technology.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=|title=Information Processes and Technology Stage 6 Syllabus|date=June 2009|website=[[New South Wales Education Standards Authority|NSW Education Standards Authority]]|publisher=[[Board of Studies]]|access-date=2 July 2022}}</ref> IPT is one of the HSC courses which may be accelerated – students in some schools have the option of completing it in year 10.<br />

In [[Queensland]], the information processing and technology course is defined in a Queensland Studies Authority document.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.qsa.qld.edu.au/yrs11_12/subjects/ipt/syllabus.pdf|title=Information Processing & Technology Senior Syllabus|publisher=QSA|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071216012006/http://www.qsa.qld.edu.au/yrs11_12/subjects/ipt/syllabus.pdf|archive-date=16 December 2007}}</ref><br />
