In an era, which is increasingly defined by digitalization and automation, the prudent exploitation of information systems becomes crucial, especially in ensuring the well-being and sustainable development of the economy, environment, and society. This necessitates a profound understanding of Information Technology (IT) and risk management. IT not only facilitates novel forms of collaboration and communication but also mandates systematic and computational thinking to address pivotal social challenges based on our collective human knowledge.

Information Technology (IT) empowers students to influence changes by shaping the application of real-world information systems to meet contemporary and future needs. The comprehensive knowledge base enables students to become innovative and astute decision-makers when selecting, utilising, and managing data, information, processes, and IT systems to address present requirements and mould future landscapes for the economy, environment, and society.  

The IT course provides students with practical opportunities to employ: design thinking; fostering their capacity to become creative developers of digital solutions and knowledge; and effectively utilising IT systems.

IT furnishes students with authentic learning challenges that promote curiosity, confidence, perseverance, innovation, creativity, respect, and collaboration, which are indispensable competencies for utilising and developing information systems. The subject also helps students become global and regional citizens, instilling effective communication and ethical collaboration skills in students.
