| Master of Science in Information Technology |
The MSc programme offers an opportunity for recent graduates as well as working people to venture into the fast-growing and dynamic field of information technology (IT). Our MSc in IT programme is designed primarily to provide students with a systems level understanding of the breadth of topics that comprise IT and enough depth in one or more of those topics to make significant contributions to industry or academia.
The programme also takes advantage of the interdisciplinary nature of IT which indicates that the students must develop competencies in general system thinking |
