The Real Gap - The IT industry has experienced a fast-paced development world-wide in the past decade.

However, if all the IT degrees available locally serve their purpose or are worth their cost are questions that call for consideration.

The IT degree offered at ACBT by Middlesex University, UK fits perfectly to the above criteria.
