About the course

If you've ever considered working in the ICT sector, the PGCertInfoTech is the programme for you. This intensive programme offers a supercharged route into the ICT industry and is ideal if you already have an undergraduate degree in a non-ICT-related subject.

The PGCertInfoTech will be awarded jointly by the University of Auckland and the University of Waikato.
