This
course consists of 16 units, each of six credit points to a total of 96 credit
points. The course consists of a core of four units from group 1 in the first
stage, compulsory project/case study and a choice of electives from a large

units from group 3 in the third stage.
Students may choose to exit the program early and may then take exit awards as
follows:
In
general terms, the course consists of the core of the Graduate Diploma in
Computing in the first stage. Once those units are completed, the student moves
to the second stage of the course. In the second stage, the student must
attempt the applied project/case study and may study, subject to prerequisites,
units from the transition group of units as listed in group 2. Once the student
has completed eight units in total, the student moves to the third stage of the
course. At the third stage, the student must complete at least four
masters-level units (group 3) from the list.
Students may, with course leader's approval, study up to two units from any of
the graduate units in the university.
This
course will prepare students for work in the information technology industry at
the highest levels. It will prepare the students with the advanced knowledge,
understanding and skills to enable them to deal effectively with advanced
issues involving the application of information technology.
The objective of the early (core) parts of the course is to educate students
with a previous tertiary qualification in another discipline area to the level
of a computing professional.
On successful completion of the core of the course, students will have gained
fundamental knowledge in the following areas:
and will have to
demonstrate their ability to work in a group to analyse the requirements for a
computer system, design a system to meet those requirement, create the system
and its documentation, train the system users and implement the system.
In the advanced, later part of the course, successful students will have:
A degree that is equivalent to an Australian bachelors degree in a non-computing discipline.
Units
in the core (group 1) of the course may have been studied in prior
undergraduate or graduate study. In that case, the student can apply for
exemptions. The exemptions may be denied if the previous study is assessed as
inadequate for an exemption. Exemptions may be granted with or without credit
subject to these credit rules.
Students with a Monash Postgraduate Diploma in Information Technology or
equivalent can apply for exemptions. The exemptions may be denied if the
previous study is assessed as inadequate for an exemption. Exemptions may be
granted with or without credit subject to these credit rules.
Subject to assessment, the maximum credit normally available is:
The core of the MAppInfoTech consists of sequences of units including programming languages, software engineering, systems analysis and design, programming, database management, data communications, networks and an applied IT project called a case study. This covers all phases of the design, building and implementation of an IT application.
