Introduction to IT
The IT programs are mostly taught courses and rarely have research modules, as they are more practical than theoretical. It depends on the specializations of the course. The PhD courses, however, do involve a great deal of research, as they are more academic-oriented. As do all masters courses, an IT program gives students the impetus and support to face the IT industry confidently.
Post-qualification careers
As the IT industry continues to develop globally, job opportunities continue to increase. No matter where in the world students want to work, whether it be Europe, the US, Asia or Australia, they are sure to find employment with a graduate qualification and skills behind them.
Those entering the IT arena need to be continually studying new technologies and keeping their computer skills up-to-date. IT graduates would also have better prospects of getting a job with a reputed company f they have participated in programs such as internships or have a related background in an industry that uses information technology such as financial services, banking, or accounting.
As an IT graduate, one can work in areas such as business analysis, database administration, internet design, IT management, networking and communications, operations, PC support, project management, software engineering, system design, system development and programming, and technical support. Starting salaries can be around $45,000 per annum but if students have good experience and aptitude, the sky is the limit as to what they can earn.
