A Bachelor of Information Technology (abbreviations BIT or BInfTech) is an undergraduate academic degree that generally requires three to five years of study.
In Puerto Rico several universities offer Bachelor of Information Technology degrees with specializations in Networking, Security, and/or Programming; typically awarded after four years of full-time study and the completion of a supervised project or internship.
[17] In South Africa the University of Pretoria offers the Baccalaureus in Information Technology (BIT) degree as a four-year undergraduate programme.
Upon successful completion of a BIT degree a student can continue with either a part-time or full-time MIT programme at the University of Pretoria to round off his or her professional training or enter the workforce.
