Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Information Technology (Digital Transformation)

PROGRAMME OUTLINE

This programme is specifically designed to provide students with:

• A broad range of digital technologies and platforms for digital business transformation and nurture digital leaders or entrepreneurs for the future economic.
• Necessary knowledge and contents on the most in-demand skills in digital leadership, namely digital transformation, marketing, analytics, finance and execution.

Students will learn fundamental skills required by every IT professional, and the basic understanding of the underlying computer system through computer architecture, operating systems, networking and databases. Some specialised modules will provide the basic knowledge of digital technologies. The modules will also help them develop personal and organisational skills, as well as nurture creativity and innovation.

A broader range of skills will be learnt, in which students will gain a solid grounding in the general technical aspects of digital technologies and platforms for digital business transformation. They will gain better understanding, and skills on how digital technologies and business models are radically changing competitive dynamics across industries.

Students will undertake an Internship/Industrial Training for a minimum period of 16 weeks to prepare them for a smooth transition from the classroom to the working environment.

Level 3 focuses on the broad theoretical foundation for understanding contemporary phenomena, provides methods and techniques for analysing the implications of digitalisation, and supports students in developing practical skills to deal with change in complex environments.

Students will make use of their previous studies and industrial experience to extend their familiarity in the field of business information technologies and to refine their personal and professional development. A final year project requires them to investigate and develop a solution for a real world finance business problem – they will demonstrate their ability to combine technical knowledge, critical thinking and analytical skills to produce a personal achievement portfolio.
