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 that 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.
