Q: Do I need to have specific computer skills or qualification to enter the programme?
No. However, we expect all our students to have a good level of general computer skills such as Microsoft Office and be able to use the Internet. The courses all start with the assumption that students have not undertaken any previous study in this area.
Q: How do I indicate if I want to enroll for the three or four year degree programme?
The code is GN 52 for both degree schemes. We will ask you to let us know which degree scheme you want to study when you arrive. Also, as the first year is the same for both degree schemes it is possible to change at any point in the first year.
Q: Should I enroll in the three year or four year programme?
We strongly recommend students without any work experience to enroll on the four year programme. This year makes a significant difference in our students understanding of much of the content of the programme, not to mention being a benefit in subsequent job hunting

Q: What are the criteria being used when accessing an application?
Besides the specified A level grades and the required language score (if you are an overseas student), we also tend to look for a strong supporting statement explaining your reasons for applying.

Q: Do I need my own (laptop) computer to do the programme?
We encourage students to bring their own computers - but it is not strictly necessary, as the university will provide computer access through a variety of locations. However, most of our campus residences have network access points so that you can connect to the university intranet and the Internet from your room if you have a computer. Most students find this a very convenient way to work.
Q: Do I need to do any pre-study/readings before I arrive?
It is not necessary to do so, but we do advise that you keep abreast of current management and technology media coverage

Q: What sort of career choices will be open to me once I complete the programme?
BSc MIT students take up a variety of careers. Our graduates will be equally suited for a career in more general management roles, or in roles that relate specifically to the development and management of information technology. Some students may specialise in technology courses and thus prefer a largely IT oriented role.
