Master of Information Technology (MInfoTech)

Program Available at Hamilton and Tauranga Campus

The Master of Information Technology (MInfoTech) degree is jointly awarded the University of Auckland and is designed to help students become “industry ready”.

Setting the MInfoTech apart from more theoretical qualifications is the high degree of business enterprise and project-based learning it demands. One whole trimester will be devoted to a paid internship with an industry partner, working under supervision on a real-world project. The selection of taught papers is updated every year. Students with an undergraduate degree in computer science (or equivalent) can apply for the 1.5 years (180 points) program. The combination of papers offered focuses on improving ICT skills as well as communication and critical thinking skills. Students without an undergraduate degree in Computer Science can apply for the 2 years (240 points) program. The first trimester of this programme is an intensive one for students to gain fundamental skills in software development including object-oriented programming and design, web technologies, and databases.
