Overview

The organisational challenge of introducing and managing information technology is daunting. Today's business requires IT strategic planning to be an integral part of the organisation's strategic plan.

This degree is aimed primarily at professionals who wish to progress upwards or broaden their career opportunities in the ICT industry, and covers both IT strategic planning and implementation and organisational management.
