B ADDING VALUE THROUGH DEVELOPING MOBILE MINDS

At the School of Information and Communication Technology, we position our graduates to drive the information technology (IT) industry to higher levels of innovation and success. Our robust links with the IT industry have enabled us to introduce an innovative series of final year projects and internship programmes which not only offer students valuable work experience, but also provide specific knowledge and specialised skills. Our mission is to produce self-directing graduates who master new skills efficiently, whilst our primary aim is to produce graduates who are able to embrace rapid technological change and economic evolution. We endeavour to instil in our students attitudes and values that will prepare them for a lifetime of continuous learning and leadership.

As advocates of a well-rounded education, we not only provide our students with instructions in all core IT academic subjects; we also provide credible and comprehensive instructions in soft skills, eg work ethics, communication skills, self confidence, presentation skills, teamwork, etc. Today's service economy and the ascendance of work teams in large organisations place an added emphasis on soft skills. It is no longer sufficient to be a functional expert. To complement these unique core competencies, there are certain ‘soft skills’ every company looks for in a potential employee. Companies value soft skills because research suggests and experience shows that they can be just as important an indicator of job performance as hard skills. We therefore prepare our students to succeed in the increasingly global marketplace and in our own complex and ever-changing society.
