The
Postgraduate Diploma in Information Technology is a cooperative program offered
by all the schools of the Faculty of Information Technology. The course
provides a broad program in information technology, enabling students to select
specific areas for in-depth study, or to construct a program from a range of
suitably advanced subjects. The postgraduate diploma course is essentially the
first forty-eight points of the Master of Information Technology course, and
also serves as a qualification for masters students who exit the course prior
to completion.
The aim of the program is:
1 to provide the conceptual and theoretical framework in which students can
appreciate and integrate new software and hardware technologies, and, within an
information technology context, use them to develop solutions to complex
problems in our society.
2 to deepen students' theoretical knowledge in specific areas so that they will
have the intellectual and conceptual foundation to play leading roles in the
development of the information technology industry.
The course is available either part-time for a minimum of two years (four
semesters) or full-time for a minimum of one year (two semesters.)
Entrance
normally requires a first degree which is recognised as equivalent to an
Australian bachelors degree. Those expecting to complete their degrees in the
current year may apply. It is expected that entrants will have a degree in a
discipline which provides a suitable basis for the course eg computer science,
computing, information systems, business systems, digital systems, information
management, software engineering.
In
1999 the course fee is $12,000 or $1000 per six-point subject.
The
course consists of forty-eight points of coursework subjects. Included in these
subjects may be six or twelve points of individual project work.
Of the subjects taken, at least six (thirty-six points) must be taken from the
postgraduate subjects offered by the Faculty of Information Technology. A list
of possible subjects is included in the attached list. Up to two subjects
(twelve points) may be taken from postgraduate subjects offered by other
faculties at Monash.
Students who complete the postgraduate diploma will be granted up to
forty-eight points of advanced standing in the Master of Information Technology
program. The number of points required to complete the masters will depend on
the subjects taken within the postgraduate diploma.
