Master of Information Technology specialisation in Information Technology

A specialisation is a focused collection of courses within a programme that allows you to gain deep, targeted knowledge in a specific sub-field. Normally these courses make up more than 50 percent of a qualification, some of which lead to registration within a certain field. They may be interdisciplinary, professionally oriented, or designed to meet accreditation requirements. Specialisations often restrict elective choice in favour of a clearly defined study plan.

Completed specialisations will appear on your academic transcript.

Please see the main programme link below for further details.

The foundation of Information Technology is the use of devices to store, retrieve, manipulate and send information, along with the smart-design and security of devices.
You will study advanced courses in Computer Science, Computer Systems, Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Infosystems. Alongside these will be optional complementary skills courses in Global Management and Innovation, Health Informatics and Science Enterprise to cement your future employment in the exciting and fast-growing information and communication technology (ICT) industry.
