Computer science and information technology

I was introduced to computer programming in my first year at Massey, and it has captured me since then. In fact, I still use the computer programming we learned in Chris Scogings' 101 course every single day! I'm now working in one of the big hot areas in the tech world right now - augmented reality.

I really enjoyed the software papers I took and principles that I learnt I apply in my current job. The top IT graduate jobs are highly competitive and I am glad that I studied with Massey University, I felt it prepared me well for the workplace.

Reece Hewitt
Bachelor of Information Science (Information Technology)

My study taught me how to develop systems and processes to better assist with planning and scheduling.

Rose Schwass
Bachelor of Information Sciences (Information Technology)

My computer science studies prepared me for the concrete and code writing tasks, whereas my information technology major has given me a grounding in the higher level, more abstract concepts so I can see how it all fits together.
