The course is designed for those with tertiary qualifications in any discipline who wish to gain a first qualification in computing. It aims to provide students with recognised knowledge and skills in computer programming, information systems and information technology, and with practical knowledge of computer hardware and software which can be put to immediate use. It also aims to allow graduates who are working in the computing industry to enhance their knowledge and expertise, and keep pace with developments in this area.
The
normal entry requirement is a degree from a recognised university or college of
advanced education; or an equivalent tertiary level accredited award in some
area other than computing; or satisfactory completion of the Graduate
Certificate in Computing offered by distance education from the Gippsland
campus. Students entering the course with the graduate certificate are given
credit for the four subjects completed in that course.
Special entry requirements exist where in any year, up to 10 per cent of
admissions made may be granted to applicants who do not meet the above entrance
requirements. Such admissions will be subject to the approval of the board of
the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, and candidates will be
required to satisfy the following criteria: (i) at least two years in total, of
tertiary-level courses and/or industry-level courses assessed as being at
tertiary level; (ii) at least two years of relevant work experience.
The
Graduate Diploma in Computing is offered by distance education study, and is
normally completed over two years.
The course consists of eight subjects covering computer programming, software
design, information technology and information systems. All students will be
required to have met the objectives and satisfied the assessment requirements
of eight subjects as given in the following schedule:
In addition, one approved subject is selected from the graduate programs of the university. Approved subjects offered by distance education include the following:
With permission a third-level undergraduate computing elective may be chosen.
Students require good access to a computer (preferably an IBM PC or compatible) and a C++ compiler. Borland C++ is strongly recommended.
Content
descriptions for year-one subjects are the same as for the graduate
certificate, and may be found under that course entry above.
Note that subject outlines for GCO7831 (Database management systems) and
GCO7832 (Information systems 2) can be found in the Graduate Diploma in
Business Systems section below.
