Over the last couple of decades, the IT industry has undergone a transformation as technology has permeated all areas of business. In most organisations IT has changed from a support department installing and troubleshooting systems to a key enabler of business strategy and competitiveness, applying digital solutions to business problems.
The Information and Communication Technology in Business Advanced Post Graduate Associate program program is a hybrid qualification designed to address the business need for multi-skilled individuals possessing the IT, business, and interpersonal skills required for the 21st century digital economy. The program has been structured to provide learners with a wide range of options encompassing IT, management and business.
Students begin with some of the essential elements of business: communication and presentation skills, accounting and an overview of the functional areas of business. Foundations of technology are also integrated into the learning path to build skills on spreadsheets, programming and website development.
To advance management skills, students learn about project management and business analytics.
The theory courses are provided in a distributive form, via classroom, interactive/computer, and applicable activities (i.e. guest speakers, field trips).
Students will be able to gain experience in a wide range of occupations related to the various ICT aspects of today’s businesses.
