Programme details:

NQF Level 8 | Technology | Honours | Degree: Bachelor of Science Honours in Information Technology | Saqa Id: 120723
Our qualification provides you with advanced knowledge and practical skills in six compulsory modules with a strong emphasis on Data Mining and Database Administration, Business Objects Service-Oriented Architecture, Big Data Analytic Techniques and Communication in Data Science.

Within the structure of two research modules, you will direct and drive your own independent research project that will culminate in a dissertation. In addition, you will learn how to plan, organise and manage projects with an emphasis on finding innovative ways of doing so. You will develop skills that are crucial for the workplace and for management such as critical, analytical and independent thinking, meeting deadlines, perseverance and adaptability, working in groups and communicating effectively.

We attribute the success of this honours degree to its unique blend of academic rigour and real-world application as well as a curriculum that is relevant, current and industry-driven. For all these reasons, our graduates have excellent management and entrepreneurial abilities, which make them highly sought after in the IT industries. 
 
If you want to take your undergraduate BSc degree in Informatics, Computer Science, Internet Communication, Information Technology, Information Systems or equivalent for the specific honours degree to another level, register with Eduvos.
