Units indexed by faculty Graduate Certificate in Network ComputingCourse code: 2325 + Course abbreviation: GradCertNetwkComp + Total credit points required: 24 + 6 months full-time, 1 year part-time Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Peninsula) Course descriptionThis 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 have a comprehensive appreciation of the field of network computing and who will be able to assist with the design and construction of distributed applications operating on local area networks, wide area networks, intranets, extranets and the internet. Graduates will be able to take an active role in the administration and management of 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. Entry requirementsThe minimum entry requirement is a degree equivalent to an Australian bachelors degree in any field other than computing, information science or computer science. Course structureThe course will comprise four semester-length, 6-point units (24 points) chosen from offerings in the Bachelor of Information Technology and Systems (net-centric computing major). All four units are electives, ie freely chosen from the approved Peninsula School of Information Technology units. This enables students to tailor the course to suit their particular interests and motivations. The electives provide the option of studies in the areas of programming techniques in a networked computing environment and data communications. At least one of the units taken must be at second-year level. Note that the Graduate Certificate in Network Computing forms the first half of the Graduate Diploma in Network Computing, and students may progress to the graduate diploma with full credit for their study.
