This course provides a broad program in information technology, enabling students to select specific areas for in-depth study, or to construct a program from a range of suitably advanced units. The postgraduate diploma course is essentially the first 48 points of the Master of Information Technology course and also serves as a qualification for masters students who exit the course prior to completion.

Entry requirements

The normal entry requirement is a degree that is equivalent to an Australian bachelors degree in computing, computer science or a technical information technology field.

Course structure

The course consists of 48 points of coursework units. Included in these units may be six or 12 points of individual project work.

Of the units taken, at least six (36 points) must be taken from the postgraduate units offered by the Faculty of Information Technology. Up to two units (12 points) may be taken from postgraduate units offered by other faculties at Monash.

Students who complete the postgraduate diploma will be granted up to 24 points of advanced standing in the Master of Information Technology program. The number of points required to complete the masters will depend on the units taken within the postgraduate diploma.
