Entry requirements

Students should have completed one of the following:

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.
