COURSE STRUCTURE
The course structure of the GradDipSc(IT) is as follows:
Eight units comprising two core units and six electives. All units
are at level 4. Students may obtain the Diploma unspecified or
with a stream. To qualify for a stream a student, a student must
take four of their electives from that stream. The streams are
Computer Systems, Informatics, Programming, Interactive
Multimedia, Microsoft and Cisco. Provided they meet the
requirements of the Graduate Certificate of Information
Technology, students of the diploma may exit with the certificate.
Students may take electives (providing they have the
prerequisites) from anywhere in the programme without the
permission of the course coordinator. Students may take electives
from outside the programme with the permission of the course
coordinator.
The Graduate Certificate of Information Technology comprises
four units all at level 4. Two are core units while the other two
may be taken from anywhere in the programme.
Arrangements for articulation into the Masters of Information
Technology and the Master of Internet Computing are as follows.
Students will follow a masters qualifier option which is the
equivalent of a Graduate Certificate in Information Technology
i.e. four level 4 units or 60 credit points. Providing they obtain an
average of 60% in these units they will be accepted into the
requisite masters programme (see below) with exemption from
these units. These units exist already in the respective masters
programme. These Diploma students would thus exit the Diploma
with a Graduate Certificate at this point and enter the requisite
masters programme.
