The Bachelor of Information Technology in Information Systems at the University of Pretoria is a three-year degree in the Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology that provides a practical and applied education in information systems, software development, database management, and IT project management. The programme is more practically oriented than the BSc Computer Science, equipping students with the hands-on IT skills needed for systems development and IT management roles in South African organisations. Students learn to analyse business requirements, design information systems, develop applications, and manage IT projects — making them immediately productive in South African business and government IT environments. The degree provides a strong foundation for professional IT careers and further postgraduate study.
