Information technology (IT) is now integral to our lives. It helps make scientific breakthroughs and whole sectors of our economy depend on it. Used effectively, IT can transform organisations. This requires professionals with a solid understanding of technology and the environment in which organisations operate. As a result, IT employment is forecast to grow at almost twice the UK average through to 2020.

On graduation you can choose from a broad range of IT careers. Opportunities include Systems Analysts, Database Analysts, Programmers, Software Engineers, Network Administrators, Web Administration and e-commerce. If you choose a more broad-based course of study, you can go into business-oriented roles such as management consultancy and training.
