About Computing And Information Technology Incl Professional Experience Bsc in Queen's University Belfast
This four-year degree (three years plus a placement year) develops applied computing, interpersonal, communication and IT skills and readies graduates to develop, select, deliver, manage and maintain cutting-edge IT infrastructures and advanced IT systems.
Technology advances at a rapid pace and businesses must adapt if they are to compete in an ever expanding global economy. A degree in CIT gives students a robust understanding across a broad range of information technology subjects.
While this degree is ideal for students who are interested in IT and are keen to learn programming, web development, database design and human-computer interaction, it also requires teamworking skills and nuanced interpersonal interaction.
