Course code: 2794 + On-campus (Caulfield; Clayton; Gippsland; Peninsula), off-campus (Gippsland) + 6 months full-time, 1 year part-time
The
course has been developed in response to industry and university pressure to
facilitate access to information technology professional masters programs for
people with little or no previous university study but with extensive relevant
industry experience.
On successful completion of the course, the student will have demonstrated the
possession of advanced knowledge in one or more areas of information
technology; an ability to study information technology at an advanced level and
achieve credit results or better; and that their work experience is adequate
preparation for further study in professional masters programs in information
technology.
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.
Prior work experience is recognised for purposes of gaining entry to the program only. Prior university or even postgraduate study will not gain credit. 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.
The course consists of four units chosen from the Master of Information Technology.
Typically, students undertake two units per semester for part-time mode, or four units per semester for full-time mode.
