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. 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 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 listed above FIT5900, FIT5910, FIT5920 and FIT5940.
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 below and twelve points of electives from the list below.
Students
should have completed one of the following:
1 A three-year computing, computer science or computer 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.
