Summary
If you've ever considered working in the ICT sector, the PGCertInfoTech is the programme for you. This intensive programme offers a supercharged route into the ICT industry and is ideal if you already have an undergraduate degree in a non-ICT-related subject.
You'll gain fundamental skills in software development, including up-to-date knowledge of object-oriented programming and design, web technologies and databases. This will complement your existing critical thinking and communication abilities.
The ICT Graduate School is a collaboration between the University of Auckland and the University of Waikato. We offer postgraduate study in Information Technology that aims to develop smart, industry-ready ICT graduates. The PGCertInfoTech will be awarded jointly by the University of Auckland and the University of Waikato.
