Dean of the School of Science and Technology, Assoc. Professor Tjortjis, gives interview to Macedonia Newspaper on IT studies<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assoc. Prof. C.Tjortjis<\/span>, Dean of the School of Science and Technology at the International Hellenic University, gave interview to Macedonia Newspaper,\u00a0Sunday edition\u00a0(17\/10\/21) and the\u00a0journalist Ms\u00a0Elena Apostolidou<\/span>. She inquired about Informatics in the modern era, why IT graduates are high in demand and why employers often complain about ICT skill scarcity.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prof. Tjortjis responded that indeed ICT has rapidly evolved over the past years. The increase of the number of MSc programmes our School offers, from 1 to 6 in just 8 years, bears testimony to this. Prominent successful examples include the MSc in Data Science, in Cyber security and in E-Business and Digital Marketing. This year only there is a 40% increase in applications for our MSC in the ICT\/ Data Science sector.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0 We have diversified our portfolio, yet we are deliberating founding more interdisciplinary MSc programmes in collaboration with other Departments, Universities and Research institutions, seeking to meet real life, societal needs.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0 As far as the employers looking for ICT skilled graduates are concerned, indeed the vast majority of our students find rewarding jobs even prior to graduation yet graduates who invested time and effort for upskilling are seeking meaningful, rewarding jobs, with excellent career prospects, in a global job market.<\/div>\n
