A. Programme Information
This programme has been developed in consultation with the Orange Business Services
(OBS), one of the leading ICT organisations in Mauritius. The course content is tailored to the
current needs of the ICT industry. The Postgraduate Diploma programme bridges the gap
between the academic knowledge and professional industry focussed requirements, thereby
increasing the employability of fresh graduates and accelerating their professional performance
by building their knowhow and delivery within the industry. This programme is geared mainly
towards specific industry-used products and other technologies that represents an extended
way to deepen the students technical expertise.
Students will also have the opportunity to complete a mandatory two months work placement to
gain hands-on work experience. Students who fail to satisfactorily complete the professional
placement will not be eligible for the award of the Postgraduate Diploma in IT with
