Description

The Postgraduate Certificate in Information Technology is intended for those with a previous undergraduate qualification in IT, such as computing, computer science or a technical information technology field, to consolidate their skills and complement their prior studies of information technology with studies at a graduate level.

Seven specialisations are offered (although not all specialisations may be offered in any one year).

Outcomes

The objectives of this course are to:

  • consolidate students' skills in the disciplinary areas that underpin the information technology field
  • enable students to complement their prior studies of information technology with studies at a graduate level.

Structure

This course consists of four approved masters-level units (24 points).

Requirements

Students complete 24 points of study of which:

(i.) three units (18 points) are chosen from units listed in the specialisations under 'Areas of Study'

(ii.) a maximum of one elective unit (6 points) is chosen from postgraduate level units offered by the Faculty of Information Technology or from any other faculty of the University as approved by the course director.

Specialisations

Students can choose to complete a specialisation or select a variety of units and complete the course without a specialisation.
