The Knod Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology is a technical program that prepares learners with the knowledge and skills they need to get a job in the field of Information, Communications, and Technology (ICT).

Why Information Technology?

Applied ICT is part of exciting innovations like the human genome project, electronic security, earth simulation and bioinformatics. Independent job market surveys show that demand for graduates is escalating, along with salaries. More specifically, in Asia Pacific software skills dominate the job listing for technical professionals, as Ron Shchneiderman explains at IEE JobSite

“Employment numbers are already high within the tech industry, but this is expected to be one of the fastest-growing fields between 2012 and 2022 When you consider this industry's high job prospects and well-paying occupations, it's easy to see why our No. 1 job overall hails from this part of the workforce.”
