With over 13,000 students and more than 200 programmes, SIT is large enough to offer you variety and a student culture, yet small enough to retain a friendly atmosphere and personalised learning with small class sizes. Combined with your dedication, we will help you achieve your academic and career goals – whatever they may be.
