Dean’s Welcome Message

You are highly welcome to the School of Information Technology & Computing (SITC). As a technology-driven university with an agenda to support socio-economic development, the School of IT & Computing (SITC) is a flagship school and an important pillar in AUN’s mission as a Development University. The School is dedicated to nurturing a new crop of leaders in the ICT sector who will take the center-stage in problem-solving, relevant research, and proffer solutions to businesses, corporate organizations, government ministries, and agencies.

Our faculty members are professionals with both teaching and industry experience in places such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, India, Russia, and of course, in Nigeria and Africa.

We are very proud of our graduates, many of whom are already founders and CEOs of their own businesses here in Nigeria, and many others are employed by international organizations like Google, other Silicon Valley companies, Deloitte and PWC. In addition, our graduates have received full scholarships to enroll for Masters and Ph.Ds. at reputable institutions such as Georgetown University, Columbia University, Carnegie Mellon University, all in the United States, as well as Oxford University and Manchester University in the United Kingdom and other universities in Japan, South Korea and Australia.

SITC is committed to being a one-stop shop for IT & Computing degrees at all levels, offering Bachelor of Science in the core computing degree programs recognized by the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE): Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, and Data Science. The School also offers programs leading to the award of the Master of Science (MSc) and Ph.D. in Computer Science, Information Systems and Data Science. We also offer two Professional Master’s degree programs in IT and Telecommunications.

All SITC programs have full accreditation by the National Universities Commission. Our library, facilities and laboratories are state-of-the-art, equipped with modern technology and software applications. These programs develop and nurture local capacity drawing from global knowledge and expertise; adapting global technologies that are appropriate and relevant for the African context; promoting the production and development of local content that is shared locally, domestically, as well internationally.

Please feel free to visit the Dean’s Office or any faculty offices if you have a question on any of our programs.

Once again, you are Welcome!
