The Master of Multimedia Computing course allows information technology professionals to upgrade their knowledge and expertise in the new field of multimedia and internet computing. Graduates will be able to develop state-of-the-art presentations and will have an understanding of the underlying technology supporting multimedia and internet computing and its theoretical underpinning. In particular, graduates will be able to identify applications for which multimedia products and systems are suited, apply commonly used tools and techniques to develop a multimedia product and participate in its design and evaluation. They will have developed attitudes which enable them to take on the professional responsibilities of a multimedia system developer and to participate effectively as members of a multimedia system development team.
Students
should have completed one of the following:
1. An equivalent Australian bachelors degree in computing, computer
science or computer engineering. 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 to an Australian
graduate diploma.
3. An equivalent Australian 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
