Overview

About this Degree

The office administrator in today’s electronic office has to cope with the integration of a wide variety of software programs including Internet and e-mail in order to produce high quality, professional documents. For instance, he/she would integrate graphics and spreadsheets into his/her annual report and produce a finished product similar to that published by professional printers.

This exciting and challenging diploma allows the office administrator to show his/her creative and innovative abilities by fully utilizing all the advanced functions of computer software programs and allied administrative duties. The Business and Information Management (Office Management Technology) program at Durban University of Technology equips the student with supervisory skills to work independently and still be an important member of the executive team.
