Special entry provisions enable admission of candidates without formal tertiary qualifications who have extensive relevant professional experience in practice.

Course structure

To qualify with the GCIMS, students will exit the Master of Information Management and Systems after completing 24 points of graduate units. The units will be selected from the graduate units of the School of Information Management and Systems, however up to 12 points may be taken from outside the School of Information Management and Systems, subject to approval by the head of the school.

Graduate units offered by the School of Information Management and Systems

Certain units require background knowledge specific to particular specialisations, and admission to these units will need the approval of the unit coordinator.
