The Graduate Certificate in Network Computing is designed for graduates in any
non-computing discipline who wish to gain a first qualification in computing.
The course aims to produce graduates who will have a comprehensive appreciation
of the field of network computing, who will be able to assist with the design
and construction of distributed applications operating on local area networks,
wide area networks, intranets, extranets and the internet. Graduates will be
able to take an active role in the administration and management of these
networks for organisations and will have an understanding of the legal and
organisational issues that have become critical for successful implementation
of networked applications. Graduates will be enabled to continually develop
their skills in order to keep abreast with technological developments. In
addition, the course fosters a professional approach to computing and an
awareness of its social implications.
The
course will comprise four semester-length, six-credit-point subjects (24
points) chosen from offerings in the Bachelor of Network Computing. All four
subjects are electives, ie freely chosen from the approved School of Network
Computing subjects. This enables students to tailor the course to suit their
particular interests and motivations. The electives are to be selected from
subjects of the Bachelor of Network Computing. The electives provide the option
of studies in the areas of programming techniques in a networked computing
environment and data communications. At least one of the subjects taken must be
at second-year level.
Note that the Graduate Certificate in Network Computing forms the first half of
the Graduate Diploma in Network Computing, and students may progress to the
graduate diploma with full credit for their study.
The minimum entry requirement for admission to the Graduate Certificate in Network Computing is a recognised degree or equivalent qualification in any field other than computing, information science or computer science. Applications will also be accepted from those who do not hold a degree but have relevant industry experience and training equivalent to at least two years of tertiary study; however only limited places are available in this category.
