Information Technology is a rapidly changing and exciting subject. Organisations are increasingly relying on information technology to carry out essential business functions. There is an explosion in the use of mobile devices to shop online, and there is a high demand for skilled professionals who can manage information systems effectively. Well-designed, practical, and usable software applications are a crucial requirement for employers.
