The Open Institute of Technology (OPIT), a European Higher Education institution approved under the European Qualification Framework (EQF), has introduced two online Degrees in Information Technology for students and professionals in Africa and throughout the world.
OPIT anticipates inviting students from all around the world to its first class in the following unique courses for its inaugural academic year, which begins in September 2023.
MSc in Applied Data Science & Artificial Intelligence (AI) after completing a BSc in Modern Computer Science.
OPIT leadership is particularly pleased about the idea of offering cheap, world-class technology training to students from growing economies such as Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Rwanda.
These degrees are available to students from all around the world through OPIT, which is entirely online and remote. OPIT hopes that by offering these degrees, its graduates will be able to build resilience and add genuine value to the businesses for which they work across Africa.
Riccardo Ocleppo (founder of Docsity, a community of 20M students and a marketing partner of 250+ universities worldwide) and Prof. Francesco Profumo (Former Minister of Education of Italy and former Dean of Politecnico di Torino, considered the best technology university in Italy) founded OPIT. The founders came together to establish a higher education institution that would address the existing inefficiencies in the traditional system by focusing on the teaching of competencies (rather than just theory) and preparing students to provide value from day one when they join or start their own businesses.
OPIT delivers high-quality international education while also allowing students to learn from anywhere in the globe (since it is 100% online) and making it accessible to everybody.
The BSc and MSc degrees offered by OPIT are fully approved by the EU, with approval from the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA). By combining a faculty with decades of academic experience as well as major tech industry skills, the approach is practical and hands-on. As a result, students may expect to benefit from both necessary IT skills training and personalised career counselling.
In a statement, Professor Profumo, OPIT co-founder and rector, said, "Companies require skilled individuals who can develop and implement innovative solutions to complex problems." A degree in Computer Science and AI offers graduates with the abilities needed to flourish in this dynamic profession, from software engineering to data analysis and machine learning."
"The awareness of the labour market misalignment between what universities teach and what companies are looking for today is the starting point for OPIT." That alleged mismatch is caused by "too much theory and not enough practical approach," he continued.
The Open Institute of Technology (OPIT) is a fully EU-accredited online Higher Education Institution that specialises in cutting-edge degrees in Computer Science. OPIT equips students for success in the digital era by concentrating on teaching capabilities, flexibility, and affordability. With an outstanding staff comprising of foreign trainers from leading institutions and strong company links, OPIT provides students with a complete learning experience that matches global standards.
