Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Business
The Digital Business Postgraduate Programmes are designed for those who have completed their Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology or Business and who aspire to higher education while wishing to advance their skill level beyond that which they have attained in their Bachelor studies.
The Digital Business suite of postgraduate programmes focusses on providing a management perspective on contemporary and emerging technologies. Graduates of the programmes will be equipped with the ability to harness digital technologies that will enable them to manage technology for businesses and effect digital transformation for organisations.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Business is a Level 8 programme of 120 credits at levels 7 and 8, with at least 75 credits at level 8, which enables those who have completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Computing, Information Technology, Business or similar to achieve a postgraduate level qualification in the digital business area.
The programme can be completed in 12 months full-time or up to four years part-time, depending on your previous study and experience and specific course preferences. Those who initially enrolled in the Master’s Degree and are not in a position to complete it, can transfer applicable courses to the postgraduate diploma for the purposes of qualification completion.
