This
course is designed for graduates in any non-computing discipline who wish to
gain a first qualification in computing. It aims to produce graduates who will
be specialists in the field of network computing, who will be able to design
and construct distributed applications operating on local area networks, wide
area networks, intranets, extranets and the internet.
Graduates will be able to administer and manage these networks for
organisations and will have an understanding of the legal and organisational
issues that have become critical for successful implementation of networked
applications. Graduates will be enabled to continually develop their skills in
order to keep abreast with technological developments. In addition, the course
fosters a professional approach to computing and an awareness of its social
implications.
This course is accredited by the Australian Computer Society.
The minimum entry requirement for admission to the Graduate Diploma in Network Computing is a degree that is equivalent to an Australian bachelors degree in any field other than computing, information science or computer science.
The
course comprises eight semester-length, six-credit-point units (48 points)
chosen from offerings in the Bachelor of Network Computing. Of these eight
units, at least three must be taken from third year. The remaining five units
must be foundation-level units (level 1, 2 or 9). All of these units are
electives which enable students to tailor the course to suit their particular
interests.
The electives are to be selected from units offered by the School of Network
Computing. The units will enable students to undertake study in the areas of
analysis and design of distributed systems, programming techniques in a
networked computing environment, data communications, database systems in
networked environments and industrial project work.
Students may qualify for the Graduate Certificate in Network Computing after
having completed four units.
