What does the BIT (Information Systems) programme entail?
BIT (Information Systems) is the study of the application and use of computer and information systems in an organisation. Due to the increasing use of information technology by organisations, more complex and challenging applications are constantly being explored and developed. In addition to the obvious fact that the work environment of the informatics specialist is particularly interesting, this constant development also means that many new job opportunities become available to well-qualified informatics specialists. The superiority of students in this field lies in their specialist stream, which can be Computer Auditing,  Information Science, Entrepreneurship, e-Business, Geography, Data Science Management or e-Taxation.
