Course structure*

*The course structure is currently under review. For more information, contact the School of Information Management and Systems on (03) 9903 1110.

To qualify with the graduate certificate, students complete 24 points of graduate units. The units are to 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 director of graduate studies.

Certain units require background knowledge specific to particular specialisations, and admission to these units will need the approval of the unit coordinator. Students without appropriate background knowledge will be required to satisfactorily complete the appropriate foundation units, eg IMS9001, IMS9003 or IMS9049, before proceeding to other graduate units (these units all have codes with the pattern IMS5xxx).
