Information Technology skills are needed everywhere. Get a Bachelor of Information Technology degree and get the jobs.
IT is problem solving. Trouble shooting. Critical thinking. Creating. Designing. Building. It’s working alone or working with people.
This is an applied degree so you’ll learn by doing. You’ll gain the skills and practical knowledge to go straight into a job when you graduate.
Why study IT at Otago Polytechnic?
Practical skills
Learn what Information Technology professionals do through hands-on and practical work. Build the communication skills you need to work effectively in the industry.
First year covers a broad general knowledge of IT. Key topics come up again through the year, and you’ll address them with more depth each time as you learn more and understand more.
For second and third year you can focus on an area that interests you most:
- Software development
- IT infrastructure and operations
- Network engineering
- Alternative digital platforms (hardware, IoT, etc.)
Courses include Databases, Automation and Robotics, Mobile App Development, Advanced Networking, UX Engineering, Game Development, AI and Data Science, and the Internet of Things and Cloud Development. There's even the option of doing a course from a programme outside of the BIT!
Have fun
Study in a creative, innovative and supportive environment. With small class sizes, you'll receive plenty of one-on-one attention from your experienced lecturers.
