This qualification demands a high level of theoretical engagement and intellectual independence, as well as the ability to relate knowledge to a range of contexts in order to undertake professional or highly skilled work. The Postgraduate Diploma in Information Technology will enable Information Technologists to continue with their studies with the aim to do research and study to higher qualifications such as a Masters and Doctoral qualification. |
