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 (SIMS).
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, IMS9043, IMS9049, or IMS9300, before proceeding to other graduate units (these units all have codes with the pattern IMS5xxx).
