Career options
Graduates from this programme with a security specialism can pursue careers as IT security managers or auditors; graduates with an e-business specialism can pursue careers as business analysts or consultants.
This exciting suite of programmes is designed for graduates with a good first degree who have had no formal academic training in computing. They are especially useful for those with an interest in getting into the IT-related job market or for those who are already working in the area but would like formal training and up-to-date skills.
Both programmes have been designed to enable students to pursue a particular specialism in the areas of security or e-business. Students specialise in the area of their choice and undertake a specialist project. On successful completion of their programme, students are proficient in the development of Internet, web and database technologies. They also have the required skills in project management for IT consultancy and strategic decision making.
