The degree offers a core set of advanced and integrated IT subjects, including fundamental IT knowledge and skills for entrants from other disciplines, as well as provides opportunities for experienced IT professionals to enhance and apply their skills within contemporary and emerging technology-driven growth areas in IT, communications, management, business and entrepreneurship.

 

The MIT will equip students with advanced and integrated understanding of the complex body of knowledge in IT, in areas such as Cyber Security, Database Administration and Software Development, Information System Project Development and Management, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, and Internet-of-Things. Students will learn practical skills in information technology, using a wide range of frameworks, methodologies, and tools. They will learn how to practice independently as an IT professional under expert supervision of academics and industry professionals. They will acquire skills on how to build complex software solutions based on the analysis of contemporary business problems.
