IT & Computing Opportunities

Opportunities for students and graduates in computing, software, data, cybersecurity and information systems.

About this study field

IT and computing is treated as its own study field here rather than being folded into science or engineering, because most South African employers advertise these opportunities separately. Eligibility usually mentions computer science, information technology, information systems or software engineering qualifications, and many programmes are open to TVET and university students alike.
