The faculty offers a wide range of graduate programs from graduate certificate to doctoral level studies in computing and computing science, information management, and business and information systems. These programs differ in their objectives, prerequisites, content and fees. They can be regarded as falling into one of two groups - programs that extend and develop knowledge in a particular discipline area and programs that have a professional orientation, providing cross-disciplinary access and training to develop professional expertise.
These courses build on a three-year bachelors degree with a major in the particular discipline or a fourth-year level course in the same discipline (honours, graduate diploma or masters preliminary). The focus is on the knowledge of the discipline methodology and its application.
Graduate diplomas
Courses with a prerequisite of a three-year bachelors degree with a major in the discipline. Applicants with relevant professional qualifications and significant experience may also be considered.
Courses with a prerequisite of a four-year degree or the equivalent (honours, masters preliminary) with a major in the discipline.
A course with a prerequisite of a masters degree with a major in the discipline or equivalent.
These courses provide an opportunity for people with a qualification in another discipline area to gain a first qualification in computing, and to develop expertise in computing and computer sciences, information management, and business and information systems.
Graduate diplomas
Courses with a prerequisite of a three-year bachelors degree in any discipline and, usually, postgraduate commercial experience.
Courses with a prerequisite of a four-year degree or the equivalent (honours, masters preliminary) with a major in any discipline.
Prerequisite of a degree or diploma, or at least three years appropriate work experience involving constant contact with information systems in an organisation.
