Units indexed by faculty Graduate Diploma in Business SystemsCourse code: 0103 + Course abbreviation: GradDipBusSys + Total credit points required: 48 + 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Clayton) Course descriptionThis course is offered by the Clayton School of Information Technology. It comprises eight units taken from the Master of Business Systems program. The program aims to provide education and training in methods used in the analysis, design, development and application of computer systems to the management of business operations. This involves the study of business-related techniques, practices and procedures in areas such as management, commercial, financial, health and industrial systems, leading to an understanding of the application of computer systems and information technology for business purposes. Students may also take out this award by exiting the Master of Business Systems* and Master of Business Systems Professional after completing 24 points of study. * Students who exit the Master of Business Systems early and take out this graduate diploma, and then elect to return to the Master of Business Systems, will only receive 24 points of credit for the 48 points used to obtain the Graduate Diploma in Business Systems. Entry requirementsThe normal entry requirement is a first degree that is recognised as equivalent to an Australian bachelors degree. Those expecting to complete their degrees in the current year may apply. Candidates without formal tertiary qualifications can enter this course after successful completion of the Professional Certificate in Information Technology or Executive Certificate in Information Technology. Credit for prior studiesGenerally, students who have completed similar units in previous studies will normally be required to make substitutions. Credit will only be granted for postgraduate units that have not counted for the award or any other degree or diploma. Where credit is granted, the number of non-business systems (BUSxxxx) elective units that can be taken is reduced. Course structureThe course consists of eight units (48 points), including foundation studies in business systems analysis, design and implementation, complemented with various business systems elective studies. Students complete the following (all units 6 points): (a) two of the following four foundation units:
(b) at least four business systems postgraduate elective units from the list below (level 4 or above) or equivalent off-campus learning units (with approval from the course director).
