A sound understanding of IT technologies and practices is essential for IT professionals. Information learnt will provide a solid foundation in the fundamentals of hardware, networks, software, the ethical use of computers and how business uses IT. Scholars will demonstrate the uses of information in the public domain, globally, in the cloud and across the internet, by individuals and organisations. They will discover that good management of both data and information is essential, and that it can give any organisation a competitive edge. Scholars will also develop their skills and knowledge required to actively use data analysis techniques to provide evidence and interpretation for decision making for a range of organisational needs.
