This course is designed for those with tertiary qualifications in any discipline who wish to gain a first qualification in computing. It is offered as a part-time course over two years of study.
The course provides students with recognised knowledge and skills in computer programming, information systems and information technology, and with a practical knowledge of computer hardware and software.
It aims to allow graduates who are working in the computing industry to enhance their knowledge and expertise, and keep pace with developments in this area.
Distance education students need to make extensive use of a personal computer and modem. Students intending to purchase a microcomputer and modem should consult with faculty staff beforehand, to ensure compatibility with software used in the course.

The course consists of eight subjects covering computer programming, software design, information technology and information systems, with a project in the final year. The prescribed subjects are:
