Course Details

The Master of Information Technology & Systems (MITS) program is a comprehensive and specialised graduate course that equips students with advanced knowledge and practical skills in various IT fields.

Academic Structure

There are frequent and exciting developments and changes happening in the IT industry all the time. The Master of Information Technology And Systems degree (MITS) equips you with the latest knowledge for the workplace. It is for both career changers and the ambitious, often the key to leadership and that next promotion.

There is a lot of choice out there in providers of a Master of IT degree. Many of these degrees, however, can be narrowly focused and more coding oriented, locking you into hyper specialised knowledge.

A MITS degree on the other hand, as the name suggests, takes a systems wide approach. We believe this may expand your potential employment paths and ensure your knowledge stays more future-relevant in a fast and ever-changing world.

There are few providers that offer you the flexibility of an online degree in the information technology space, whereas we do. So you can study with us no matter where you are, at your own pace.

Specialisation Streams

Stream 1: Software Engineering

Stream 2: Analytics
