The Award in Information Technology and Study Skills provides an academic and professional foundation to students in all aspects of digital society, internet technology and the WWW, and in computer hardware and software.
In addition, the Award covers academic writing, communication and digital skills together with effective study practice and career planning. Students will also be encouraged to develop a career plan and will be supported in their aspirations.
The foundation in essential areas of information technology is supplemented with broader based knowledge and skills to enable students to proceed towards studying information technology and/or related areas at higher education levels (MQF/EQF Levels 5 and 6) and so pursue a career in information technology.
