The
Master of Multimedia Computing course allows information technology
professionals to upgrade their knowledge and expertise in the new field of
multimedia and internet computing. The course is designed for professionals
with a technical focus who wish to learn more about multimedia and internet
computing.
Graduates will be able to develop state-of-the-art presentations and will have
an understanding of the underlying technology supporting multimedia and
internet computing and its theoretical underpinning. In particular, graduates
will be able to identify applications for which multimedia products and systems
are suited, apply commonly used tools and techniques to develop a multimedia
product and participate in its design and evaluation. They will have developed
attitudes which enable them to take on the professional responsibilities of a
multimedia system developer and to participate effectively as members of a
multimedia system development team.
Students
should have completed one of the following:
1 a three-year computing, computer science or computing engineering
degree from a recognised university or institute of higher education. Normally
such degrees will be those that have professional IT recognition, for example
by the ACS, BCS or other professional body. A credit average in final year
computing subjects is normally required, but extensive relevant professional
experience in a technically demanding role will be taken into account when
assessing applications for admission;
2 the Graduate Diploma in Computing or an equivalent graduate
diploma;
3 an honours degree in computing or computer science with a grade of HII
or better. Honours graduates will be eligible for twenty-four points of credit
at the fourth-year level and will be able to qualify for the Master of
Multimedia by completing forty-eight points of approved subjects.
Students who have completed a recognised honours degree or postgraduate diploma in information technology or computer science will be awarded twenty-four points of credit and will be required to complete forty-eight points of approved subjects.
In 1999 the course fee is $8000 for each year of the program, or pro rata per subject for part-time.
The Master of Multimedia Computing course consists of seventy-two points and is designed to be taken over three semesters full-time, although most students take the course on a part-time basis over two or three years.
Students may
elect to leave the program after completing twenty-four points and receive a
Postgraduate Certificate in Multimedia Computing. In order to do so they must
have completed the core subjects FIT5900, FIT5910, FIT5920 and FIT5940 listed
above.
Students may choose to leave the program after completing forty-eight points
and receive a Postgraduate Diploma in Multimedia Computing. In order to do so
they must have completed the core subjects listed above and eighteen points of
electives from the above list.
The Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma are exit awards only and
at the time of writing were subject to university approval.
