Monash's digital communications program covers a broad range of courses ranging
from the short graduate certificate up to the masters degree by coursework in
digital communications. The courses have been structured to provide an
integrated program of postgraduate education in digital communications.
The aims of the digital communications program are to provide:
The course currently draws students from
a wide range of employment backgrounds, including programming, systems
analysis, engineering, management, consultancy, auditing, marketing and
teaching. The program is designed to provide graduates in fields such as
computing, computer science or electrical engineering with specialist
graduate-level education in topics such as digital communications technologies,
communications architectures, protocols and communications software.
The initial subjects introduce underlying principles and technologies, and the
later subjects go more deeply into the underlying theoretical and technological
foundations of digital communications systems. They also examine the social and
political aspects of communications networking, and the management structures
for communications networks.
The
normal entry requirement is a three-year degree or diploma-level qualification
in a discipline that provides a suitable basis for the course, eg computer
science, data processing or electrical, electronic or communications
engineering.
Applicants with a degree or diploma in a discipline not directly related to the
course will be considered if they have relevant work experience in computers or
communications.
Applicants without degree or diploma qualifications may also be admitted on the
basis of work experience, subject to the approval of the faculty's admissions
committee. The level of work experience required would be at least five years
in a position carrying significant technical responsibility in an area relevant
to the course. Applicants should also be able to demonstrate an ability to
study at tertiary level. The number of places available to applicants in this
category is limited.
Applicants should note that demand for this course usually exceeds the quota of
places available and consequently not everyone qualified for entry to the
course can be admitted. Applicants are therefore advised to present their cases
strongly when applying for the course.
The
course consists of eight six-point subjects, selected as follows: (a) at least
six subjects from the list of approved digital communications graduate subjects
listed below; (b) up to two subjects which may be drawn from any postgraduate
program of the university with the approval of the school or nominee.
Students who complete the postgraduate diploma will be granted up to 48 points
of advanced standing in the Master of Digital Communications program. The
number of points required to complete the masters will depend on the subjects
taken within the postgraduate diploma.
Note that not all subjects are available in any one year. This list is subject to revision.

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 48 points of the Master of Information Technology course, and also serves
as a qualification for masters students who exit the course prior to completion.
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 or software engineering.
The
course consists of 48 points of coursework subjects. Included in these subjects
may be six or 12 points of individual project work.
Of the subjects taken, at least six (36 points) must be taken from the
postgraduate subjects offered by the Faculty of Information Technology. Up to
two subjects (12 points) may be taken from postgraduate subjects offered by
other faculties at Monash.
Students who complete the postgraduate diploma will be granted up to 24 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.
