The Graduate Diploma in Computer Science has been developed in response to a steady stream of requests from potential students currently in industry for a diploma-level course in computer science to broaden and develop computing skills and knowledge for specific vocational and occupational outcomes.
Students completing the Graduate Diploma in Computer Science are eligible to apply to upgrade their knowledge and qualifications to honours (or Master of Computing preliminary) level.
The admission requirements are a recognised degree qualification in any discipline (other than computing), introductory computer programming skills and a knowledge of mathematics at least equivalent to twelve points of first-year university mathematics.
The course may be completed by one year of full-time study or on a part-time basis over two years.
