Information Technology (Hons) (Computing and Business) University of Malta

Overview

Information Technology (Hons) (Computing and Business)  at the University of Malta  is not a business or management degree. Neither is it simply a collage of some ICT and some business topics, and shares nothing in common with any previous, possibly similar-sounding, degree programmes.

This Degree programme is first and foremost a computing degree, witnessed by the fact that it shares a sub-set of common topics with the Software Development course. However, it allows students to orientate and hone their accrued scientific knowledge towards one of three possible traditionally commercial non-ICT areas:

• Computing for Business,

• Computing for Finance,

• Computing for Marketing.

By introducing students to aspects of Business, Marketing and Finance, they are more likely to integrate better and quicker into business, marketing and finance projects after graduation.

Career opportunities

• As a graduate from this degree programme, you can find employment in any local or international business organisations that either wish to adopt new, or maintain existing, supporting IT infrastructures in business (e.g. management, finance and marketing). 

• The level of employment will vary from developer to team and project management, and after due experience, even to more strategic positions. You will also be able to participate in, and/or instigate, start-up software development companies. You may also pursue specialisation at Masters level.
