There are two entry levels to the Master of Information Technology Management program. If the student has completed a three-year undergraduate degree program, or a four-year program without a research component, they will enter the MITM at the foundation level. This will involve taking two subjects prior to starting out on the main program. If the student has completed a four-year degree that included a research component, they will enter directly onto the main program.
