Welcome to the home page for the Masters in Information Technology (MIT) programme offered by the Computer Science Department at the University of Cape Town.
This degree is by coursework and research, using mainly self study materials for the coursework - there are no lectures. It is a two year conversion programme aimed at students without a degree in computer science or information technology/systems. The ideal candidate for this programme is someone who uses information technology in his or her job, but who has no formal university qualification in IT. A non-IT honours degree, or equivalent, is the minimum requirement for entry into the MIT course.
This Web site serves as an introduction to anyone considering enrolling in the course.
Note: If any of your previous degrees are in computer science, MIT is not for you. You may be interested in our research-only Masters or PhD degrees; please consult the Postgraduate Degree information on the Department's website for more on these options.
