Structure
The period of study for full-time students is eight semesters, covering core and elective subjects, with each subject carrying a prescribed number of study credits. Fifteen lecture periods of forty-five minutes each plus all the prescribed course work normally constitute one credit hour.
The course is structured to offer students the opportunity to acquire a solid general education in Information Technology followed by a more in-depth training in an area of their choice.
Students of the BSc (Honours) degree in Information Technology are required to take a minimum of 240 ECTS as follows:
Core subjects: 190 ECTS
(Core subjects are compulsory)
Elective subjects: 50 ECTS
(Electives are more general in content and are chosen by the student from this and other departments)
The subjects offered during the first four semesters are chosen from the general course in Information Technology or from one of the two streams of study, namely Information Technology (Software Development), and Information Technology (Business Applications).
