Bachelor of Science in Information Technology

A Bachelor of Science in Information Technology,
(abbreviated BScIT or B.Sc IT), is a bachelor's degree awarded for an undergraduate course or program in information technology.
A Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree program typically lasts three to four years. While this degree mainly based on computer subjects covering all aspects such as software, database, and networking. In general, Computer Science degree focuses on mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing, rather than teaching specific technologies. The degree itself is a Bachelor of Science with institutions conferring degrees in the fields of information technology and related fields. This degree is awarded for completing a program of study in the field of software development,  Graduates in the information technology are able to perform technology tasks with processing, storing and communication of information such that computers, mobile phones, and PDAs. Information technology is about providing a secure way to manage vast amounts of variable information and making it available through a wide variety of systems both local and world-wide.
The same core curriculum may, depending on the school, result in other degrees, including:

• Bachelor of Computer Science
• Bachelor of Computing in Computer Science
• Bachelor of Computer Security in Computer Science
• Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Computer Science
• Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Computer Science
• Bachelor of Mathematics in Computer Science
• Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS) in Computer Science
• Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS) in Computing
• Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS) in Computer Science and Technology
• Bachelor of Applied Information Sciences (BAISc)

• International differences

  Austrlia

  In Australia, the BSc is a 3 year degree, offered from 1st year on. A fourth (Honours) year or an MSc is then required to progress on to PhD.
  

  Continental Europe

  Many universities in Europe are changing their systems into the BA/MA system, and in doing so also offering the full equivalent of a B.Sc. or M.Sc.

  Commonwealth and

  Ireland in the Commonwealth and Ireland graduands are admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Science after having completed a programme in one or more of the sciences. These programmes may take different lengths of time to complete.
  A Bachelor of Science receives the designation B.Sc. or B.S. for a major/pass degree and B.Sc. (Hons) or B.S. (Hons) for an honours degree. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland an honours degree is typically completed over a three year period, though there are a few intensified two year courses (with less vacation time). In Scotland, where access to university is possible after one less year of secondary education, degree course have a foundation year making the total course length four years. Ireland the former B.Sc. was changed to B.Sc. (Hons.) which is awarded after 4 years. The B.Sc. (Ord.) is awarded after 3 years
  Whether a subject is considered a science or an art can vary between universities. For example, an economics degree may be given as a B.A. by one university but as a B.Sc. by another. Biology, Biochemistry, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, General science, Earth science and Computer Science are almost universally considered to be sciences.
  Even in cases of near-unilateral consensus across a country as to whether a subject is a science or an art, there are exceptions. The London School of Economics offers B.Sc. degrees in practically all subject areas, even those normally associated with arts degrees, while the Oxbridge universities award arts qualifications almost exclusively. In both instances, this is generally for historical and traditional reasons. The first university to admit a student to the degree of Bachelor of Science was the University of London in 1860. Prior to this science subjects were included in the B.A. bracket, notably in the cases of mathematics, physics, physiology and botany. Formerly at the University of Oxford, the degree of B.Sc. was a postgraduate degree; this former degree, still actively granted, has since been renamed M.Sc.
