To be appointed
The course is offered only as a full-time program of three
years' duration. Students are actively engaged in the course
for an average of fourty-four weeks each year. There are
eight segments in the course - four semesters, two summer
terms and two twenty-week periods of industry based
learning. These provide a course which is essentially a four
year course completed in three years.
Swinburne awards a scholarship to each student admitted to
the course. Scholarship levels are expected to be an average
of $9,000.
Career potential
The course equips graduates to apply information
technology within business and industry and provides them
with an appropriate grounding in management education to
prepare them for future roles in management.
Prerequisites (entrance 1994)

~065 Honours Year in Computer Science
A one year full-time program that follows the completion of
all requirements for a three-year degree. The program is
designed for students who have an interest in research, and
is particularly geared to those who are contemplating
progressing to postgraduate studies.
Normally to be eligible for this degree a student would have
achieved a grade point average of credit or abow on the
best seventy-five per cent (75%) of the post-fint year units.
However, it is likely that a performance in excess of this
minimum will be necessary to gain selection.
To qualify a student must undertake a program involving
three semester-length coursework units, one reading unit,
