Graduate Certificate in Information Technology (Level 7)

Do you have a degree in a subject other than information technology and want to develop your computing skills? Or perhaps you are an IT graduate looking to increase your knowledge in specialist areas?

Either way, this flexible IT programme is the perfect solution and is ideal if you want to study alongside full-time employment.

Technology is everywhere. To have a grounding in tech and how computers work is an advantage in every industry but essential if you’re looking for a career in IT. There are currently far more IT jobs than there are graduates and employers are desperate for work ready grads. Career possibilities include business computing, technical support, hardware, software, database, web development and much more!
