Faculty of Information Systems and Technology
The Bachelor of Information Technology course equips students with the knowledge and skills related to the selection, creation, application, integration and administration of computing technologies, and prepares them to meet the computer technology needs of business, government and other organisations. As a discipline, IT emphasizes designing and developing user centered technologies that meet human needs and enhance the user experience. This encompasses information assurance and security, as well as the management of complexity through abstraction and modelling, best practices, patterns, standards, and the use of appropriate tools. This degree course therefore produces graduates skilled in problem solving and programming, networks and communications systems, databases, Internet and Web technologies, security and project management, and gives them a strong grasp of business concepts, communication skills and ethical and societal issues in IT.
