During the programme students have an opportunity to develop and practice relevant professional and transferable skills, and to meet and learn from employers about working in the IT industry. You will have opportunities to meet employers who come to make recruitment presentations and often seek to recruit our graduates during the programme. You will benefit from having 24-hour access to a computer laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art hardware and software. Modes of delivery of the MSc in Information Technology include lectures, seminars and tutorials and allow students the opportunity to take part in lab, project and team work.<br>Former students are now employed in the chemical, electronics, travel, food, and oil industries, in banking and insurance, in software houses, in retailing, in education, in the health service, in management consultancy, in civil engineering, and in other sectors.
