Smart phones, tablets, and laptops. These are devices we carry around in our pockets and vehicles daily, and every day they are increasing in power and complexity.

Our personal lives, too, are becoming more and more entwined in social networks, virtual worlds and gaming environments, while commerce and industry is increasingly dependent on new and improved Information Technology. Such technologies can also help us understand and tackle global problems such as climate change and resource management - so it’s no wonder graduates in this field are in high demand throughout the world.

Massey’s Information Technology major examines what information people need and how that information should be presented. Students use the latest technologies to design and build systems that will meet the needs of the 21st century consumer.

Students learn to use the same developer tools and techniques as the industry professionals use including Microsoft .NET Framework, Java technologies and multimedia tools. Learning how to work in a team is also an important part of this major.

The Information Technology major focuses on:

The analysis, design and deployment of complex information technologies.

The use of professional software tools, and the administrative and organisational aspects of IT. It includes topics such as computer security, the development of the internet, user interface design and more.

It can be taken as a single major, or together with the major in Computer Science (double major), or with a minor in any subject that has a defined minor.

Entry Requirements

All students must have a university entrance qualification.

If you have enjoyed Economics, History, Music, or Mathematics with Statistics then you will have already developed some of the broad analytical skills that you will use in Information Systems. And, of course, some hands-on experience with computers for information gathering, data analysis, or programming will give you a boost with your Information Systems studies too. Both men and women are attracted to this field in equal numbers.

Students with excellent achievements in NCEA and prior programming experience through the successful completion of courses and participation in competitions like STAR, NCSS or the ACM SPPC will be considered for direct entry into second-year Computer Science courses and may be eligible to participate in software development projects.
