About the course
What can I expect out of this qualification?
The aim of the Bachelor of Information Technology is to provide graduates with well-developed theoretical knowledge and technical skills across Information Technology domains. These domains include a strong thread of cybersecurity alongside artificial intelligence, data science and software engineering. Graduates will be equipped to work in a wide range of technical roles such as Solution Architects, IT Support Analysts, Help Desk Analyst, and related technical roles, particularly as Security, Systems or Information Technology Support Analysts. Graduates will possess a strong technical base and will have the potential to progress in the workplace to more senior roles. Graduates will also be able to progress onto postgraduate study in Information Technology including cybersecurity, computer systems engineering, or artificial intelligence depending on their chosen pathway and/or experience. The target student body of school-leavers, mature learners, internal pathway students, and international applicants will benefit from this uniquely threaded technical programme and on completion will be well prepared for graduate information technology jobs in Aotearoa and globally.
