The Information Technology program aims to equip graduates for a professional career in information technology. In the first two years of the program, the student is provided with a solid grounding in the core body of IT knowledge and skills. In the third year of the program, the student chooses an area of specialisation in preparation for employment or further study.

Program structure for new students commencing from 2006.

Students will be able to construct their program based on the prescribed requirements. Students must complete a total of 24 courses, comprising:

• 14 compulsory courses;
• 1 specialisation (normally 4 courses); and
• up to 6 electives (depending on number of courses in specialisation).

At the discretion of the Dean, a student may graduate by completing all compulsory courses and an approved program of electives that includes 2 or more Advanced IT elective courses.
