The course is designed for those with tertiary qualifications in any discipline who wish to gain a first qualification in computing. It aims to provide students with recognised knowledge and skills in computer programming, information systems and information technology, and with practical knowledge of computer hardware and software that can be put to immediate use. It also aims to allow graduates who are working in the computing industry to enhance their knowledge and expertise, and keep pace with developments in this area.
The
normal entry requirement is the equivalent of an Australian bachelors degree or
