Entry requirements

Admission is only available to people with extensive, relevant and advanced work experience. Specifically, applicants must have six or more years of work experience in information technology, information systems or information management activities at either an executive, management or senior technical level.
This certificate is intended to lead to a professional coursework masters program. Information industry research and development tasks such as the design and implementation of information systems, information technologies or information management procedures will be appropriately recognised in the articulation process.
In order to gain entry to the university's postgraduate programs from this certificate, students must attain a credit average in their studies.

Advanced standing

The faculty offers graduate, postgraduate and masters-level awards that will better suit graduates in that they allow students to study the same range of units and grant credit for studies partially completed.

Course length

The course comprises four units. Typically, students undertake two units per semester for part-time mode, or four units per semester for full-time mode.

Course structure

The course consists of four units chosen from the Master of Information Technology.
