Course detail

program synopsis

The objectives of the Information Technology (Multimedia Systems) program — which is in-line with the mission of AIT, is to produce high calibre graduates in Information Technology using internationally benchmarked curriculum.
The program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and associated skills in the broad field of Information Technology Over the four year program a range of skills-based, generic subjects will be sustained in order to develop the student as a versatile graduate and as a ‘life-long learner’. Students on this program will acquire systems design, and communication skills and be prepared for employment in a broad spectrum of computing, or for continued study at the postgraduate level. The objectives are therefore to ensure that:

    • Each graduate from the program will demonstrate the ability to acquire, apply, and synthesize new knowledge in Information Technology as required for success.
    • Each graduate from the program will successfully achieve a major computing outcome, consistent with the individual’s position, within his/her first three years working in the IT professions or obtain an advanced degree from highly selective graduate program.
  • Each graduate from the program will demonstrate the ability to grow professionally, and advance career-wise in the IT profession, and assume increasing responsibility. A significant number of them will attain leadership positions in their industries or profession.
