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 24 points and receive a Postgraduate Certificate in Multimedia Computing. In order to do so, they must have completed the core units listed above GCO5900, GCO5910, GCO5920 and GCO5940.
Students may choose to leave the program after completing 48 points and receive a Postgraduate Diploma in Multimedia Computing. In order to do so, they must have completed the core units listed below and 12 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 units 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 24 points of credit at
the fourth-year level and will be able to qualify for the Master of Multimedia
by completing 48 points of approved units.
