The Masters in Informatics (Knowledge and Data Management) is a novel programme that qualifies students to undertake tasks that require researching data, using it to design programmes, and then implementing the programmes in experimental stages. This can be done in a variety of industries such as pharmaceuticals, education, system engineering, manufacturing, communications, transportation, entertainment, defence, computer technology, and government (e.g. e-government). The skills acquired include equipment programming, product testing, executing technical projects from inception to completion, record-keeping and documentation, research, engineering tasks, information and knowledge management, and development and modification of software programmes.
