Stream Outline
Computer & Information Technology
The Computing and Information Technology major in the MIT and MCIT programs is the most flexible of all majors. It allows students to select courses in a very broad range of specialised areas and prepare them for managerial positions in the IT industry. The major also enables students to gain a good overview of the possible specialisations before nominating a specific major to develop expertise in a particular field. The major is particularly suited to professionals who seek higher positions and can devote one or two years in broadening their technical knowledge of the IT industry, before they return to their professional activities.
