• OVERVIEW OF PROGRAMME


    Information Technology is the study and design of computer systems, mainly focused on software. The computer industry has experienced unprecedented growth and improvements in efficiency, a trend which widens the scope for information technology graduates in the long term.

    Almost every significant sector of the economy uses computers in some form, and potential for new development is often more a question of imagination than limitations in technology.

  • OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME


    The programme is designed to enable successful graduates to able to:
    • The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BIT) is a four-year program emphasizing the practical application and management of information technology. It uses a hands-on, reality-based teaching approach, enabling students to apply classroom knowledge to solve real-world problems.
    • The project-focused Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BIT) program trains students in computer systems and their applications. It emphasizes data processing, problem-solving, programming languages, algorithms, and information structures, with practical applications in both the marketplace and research.
    • Majors in the program include computer systems and networks, information environments, interaction design, scientific computing, software design and software information systems.

  • AIMS OF THE PROGRAMME


    The course aims to equip graduates with the skills and attributes needed for professional practice and leadership. It is based on the themes of personal and academic development and professional formation.
    It provides sound foundations in IT, technical expertise and knowledge of professional practice, while developing academic literacy, advocacy skills and social awareness.
