Successful
I chose to study at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak because it fits my working schedule so that I can work and study at the same time. I chose a Master in Information Technology Management because I want to increase my employability in the IT field. As someone who is currently working in the manufacturing industry, I believe that I can help the industry improve more with the digitalization of manufacturers.

Grateful
As our industry begins to embark into digital construction, it’s excited to see what we can achieved when this both fields collide, and that is what makes me want to enrol into this course to learn the other side of IT and somehow to obtain some knowledge and combines it with our construction industry. Needless to say, this course does meet my expectation.

Thankful
Thanks to FCSIT, I've been able to complete my MITM flexibly. The class schedule complements my other commitments. The course prepares me for the real world, to be more employable and have significant knowledge in the IT management industry. I have learned the importance of ICT and have a gist on how ICT will lead the world in a few years time. Overall, MITM is a very simple and helpful course where students from non-IT backgrounds will definitely enjoy learning ICT.

Blessed
The reason why I decided to take MITM programme instead of doing research is because I feel like the programme can help me be more aware of IT developments besides being able to easily fit into my working schedule. I come from a non-IT background (Bachelor's Degree in Resource Biotechnology) but this programme is very non-IT friendly. Right now, I am working with Gribbles Pathology (M) Sdn. Bhd. I encourage people to take this programme if they want to have a career development or they just want to educate themselves more on IT management which can be helpful career-wise.

Awesome
I've always wanted to get the highest education since I was a child. One of the best decisions I've ever made was to pursue a postgraduate MITM programme at UNIMAS. Even though I have a bachelor's degree in computer science, learning information technology was not the same because computer science focuses on the functionality and elements of the system, whereas information technology focuses on how we implement the system in day-to-day operations and business growth.

Journey
Master in Information Technology Management is a one-year master programme and it is possibly the shortest way to those who wanted to further one’s careers or switch to work in IT fields like me. Having both Master degrees in the total year of five years of studies are actually a significant achievement as the combination of skills obtained from both degrees increases the chance of working in higher skills level employment.
