Program Description
This program allows students to approach information technology from either a technical, constructive angle, starting with courses in programming, or from a conceptual, critical or information and organizational management angle. It widens the approach to computing to include the creative and conceptual touch, starting by applying scripting to the application area of new media (video and audio), rather than from learning traditional general purpose programming languages applied to algorithms.
The Bachelor in Information Technology is a 4-year program with 40 units that will promote the student’s self-confidence and the desire to continue their learning activities for future success.
IT students typically work as programmers, network administrators/managers, systems or business analysts, and web designers/developers.
Program Objectives
Upon completion of this program students will be able to:
- Analyse well defined problems, and design, implement and evaluate solutions that demonstrate an understanding of the systems context in which software is developed and operated including economic, social, historical, sustainability and ethical aspects.
- Recognise connections and recurring themes, including abstraction and complexity, across the discipline.
- Adapt to new environments and technologies, and to innovate.
- Demonstrate an operational understanding of the foundations of computer science including programming, algorithms, logic, architectures and data structures.
- Communicate complex concepts effectively with
