About the course
What can I expect out of this qualification?
The strategic purpose of this degree is to provide students with a recognized applied information technology qualification in their chosen specialisation. The courses balance practical skills with academic knowledge and soft skills. Graduates will be technically knowledgeable, employable and skilled for IT-related positions of their chosen field or prepared for further study at postgraduate level. They will be able to contribute to their profession and society in an ethical manner. The strategic purpose of this new degree for Whitecliffe aligns to several important aspects that impacted programme development: · The long-term skills shortage within the sector particularly evident in the South Island and lower North Island. · The extensive stakeholder engagement identified a skill shortage in applied IT skills needed right now and into the foreseeable future in the workplace. · The strategic alignment with the New Zealand L5 and L6 qualifications. · Whitecliffe's future developments for 2020-2022 in emerging technologies, discussed in detail in the Whitecliffe Investment Plan 2019-2022 submitted to the Tertiary Education Commission. · To provide students with an introduction to design thinking concepts.
