A Message from the Dean Prof. Venansius Baryamureeba Congratulations on your decision to undertake undergraduate studies at Makerere University Faculty of Computing and Informatics Technology (CIT), and welcome to the CIT community. I hope you find your time at CIT rewarding, challenging and exciting.

The rapid development of computing and information technology has led to a new era of learning and knowledge. The latest advancement in ICT has not only innovated our communication technology but has also expanded the new possibilities of which knowledge transfer can take place. We are in the midst of witnessing a sudden change in global economy and, in particular, in its sector that is closely associated with computing and Informatics Technology. It is clear that people across the globe will continue to be influenced tremendously by the technology that is evolving, the science that still needs to be understood and revealed, and the systems that are still being created. CIT offers Programmes in computing disciplines at all degree levels. In this handbook, you will find detailed descriptions for our programs at undergraduate level, and short courses in various fields that we offer at the faculty. Our curricula are revised every 3 years so as to catch up with the rapid changes of computing disciplines, and foster for quality education with a global perspective. In addition, our Programmes have been carefully designed to ensure that each CIT student is well prepared for the working environment of the 21 st century. CIT courses help students become specialists in fields like Computer Networking, Software Engineering, Web Development, System Analysis & Design, System Management and Administration, IT entrepreneurship to mention but a few. As you may well know, CIT is the only place in Makerere University that is open 24/7/365 so at any time of the day or night you will find life at CIT. This is aimed at narrowing the ICT gap in the region by offering additional education opportunities and support to many young people each year. The Faculty is devoted to providing its students with a high quality experience that is distinctive within the higher education sector. It is committed to listening to what students ‘customers’ want from their time at CIT. The academic staff, many of whom are international authorities in their specializations, provide invaluable input in terms of course content and delivery - equipping the graduates with enterprising, creative and innovative skills necessary for the global markets and that can respond to the ever changing global society needs.
