The course facilitates access to information technology graduate or postgraduate diplomas for people with little or no previous university study but with extensive relevant industry experience - specifically, six or more years of work experience in information technology, information systems or information management activities at either an executive management or senior technical level.

On successful completion of the course, the student will have:

• demonstrated the possession of advanced knowledge in one or more areas of information technology
• an ability to study information technology at an advanced level
• demonstrated that their work experience is adequate preparation for further study in a graduate or postgraduate diploma.

Work experience is recognised for purposes of gaining entry to the program only. Credit will not be granted for prior studies.

The course consists of four units chosen from the following programs:

• Master of Business Information Systems
• Master of Information Technology.

Typically, students undertake two units per semester for part-time mode, or four units per semester for full-time mode.

This certificate is intended to lead to a graduate or postgraduate diploma. Information industry research and development tasks such as the design and implementation of information systems, information technologies or information management procedures will be appropriately recognised in the articulation process.
