The type of student for whom this qualification is ideal is interested in engaging with information and creating and sharing new knowledge across platforms, primarily digitally, but also in analogue formats.
This qualification will enable graduates to discover, organise, manage and utilise information in an ethical manner. Graduates with skills in this field are highly sought after to help information- intensive industries to meet their visions and missions and become globally competitive.
The high prevalence of information and technology in the modern world implies that graduates are needed with specific competencies and skills related to the interaction between humans and information technologies. This is especially relevant with regard to the technologies associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (and any further similar innovations).
This programme focuses on the use of information technology and the processing of information products and is designed to train students in the management, retrieval and organisation of information, as well as teach them to package, distribute and add value to information. Students will also have the opportunity to develop their knowledge and skills in the management of information and knowledge, which are the most important resources of enterprises.
