Study mode and course location

On-campus (Clayton)

Course description

This course is articulated with the Diploma of Technology (Computing), offered at the Holmesglen Institute of TAFE and Frankston campus of Chisholm Institute. After successful completion of the first level of the diploma (normally 70 per cent average), students may transfer directly into the second level of the Bachelor of Technology (Computer Studies) offered by Monash and complete the final two levels of the degree.

Course objectives

The course aims to produce technologists who are flexible in their thinking and so are able to respond to the changing needs of industry.

Course structure

The first level of the course is completed at an approved TAFE institute. Students are awarded 48 points of credit towards level 1 of the bachelors degree on the successful completion of all prescribed level 1 units taken from the approved TAFE institutes.

At levels 2 and 3, four units are studied in each of the four semesters which comprise the second and third levels of the Monash degree. Level 2 of the course includes units in the areas of engineering programming, electrical engineering, telecommunications, mathematics, computer organisation, operating systems and digital design.

Level 3 builds on level 2, with more advanced units including management, professional communications, computer engineering, microprocessor systems, industrial electronics and instrumentation, data communications and an industrial project.

Students take two elective units at level 3, and may choose from a wide range of units including real-time control and software engineering, internet architectures and protocols, large-scale digital design, mechanoinformatics, computer graphics and computer applications. All electives must be approved by the course leader. The core and elective units required from level 2 of the course are listed below.
