Overview

If you do not have the time or inclination to enroll directly onto the Masters in Information Technology Management, you may consider the Postgraduate Diploma which is shorter and requires the completion of eight subjects. The Postgraduate Diploma offers you the same broad choice of modern, up-to-date subjects as the MMIT, and full credit for the Postgraduate Diploma can be counted towards the MMIT programme should you enroll in the MMIT programme at a later date.

Curriculum

You must complete eight subjects to earn the Postgraduate Diploma, any of which can be selected from following MMIT subjects (note prerequisites apply to some of the subjects):

*currently under development
+ jointly developed with the National University of Singapore
