What is the difference between Business Information Technology (BIT) and Computing Information Technology (CIT)?
BIT places more emphasis on the business side of things in an IT company. CIT is a more technical course with specific emphasis on various aspects of an IT system within an organisation such as a hospital, bank, college etc. If a BIT and a CIT graduate were employed in the same company, the BIT graduate is more likely to be employed in a job such as project management or sales or marketing – their role is to manage and grow the business. The CIT graduate would be employed to manage the company’s own IT system – they would therefore set up email accounts, back up information, fix computers that have broken down, network computers to printers etc. CIT is a more hands-on course. Both courses include some programming but not as much the Computer Science degree, which would lead mainly to jobs as programmers/software developers for software development companies.
