Program Description

The Graduate Certificate in Advanced Computing is designed for students with a substantial and broad computing background. Students are expected to have knowledge of all foundation (Group A) and most core courses (Groups B/C) before they commence their postgraduate studies.

This program will be most attractive to those who do not wish to study the full one year MIT program.

Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The aim of this program is to give computing graduates a chance to deepen their knowledge and to extend it in new directions. In addition, there is some scope to undertake courses not studied in their undergraduate degree, to round out their computing background.

Program Structure

Students complete the Advanced Computing major with the following restrictions:
Group A courses - All courses are excluded
Group B/C courses - Maximum 12uoc (2 courses)
Group D courses - Minimum 12uoc (2 courses)
TOTAL - 24uoc (4 courses)
Majors
COMPCS7344 - Advanced Computing

Entry Requirements
Applicants to this certificate can be gained in two ways:
  • At least a three year bachelor degree in computing equivalent to a standard Australian bachelor degree; OR
  • Formal technical work experience in the area of computer science and engineering of at least five years.
Applicants for this certificate must have completed some studies in mathematics.

Completion Options
After successful completion of four courses students have two options:
  • Graduate from the Graduate Certificate; or
  • Apply to articulate to the Master of Information Technology program with credit for the four completed courses.
Articulation
Students can apply to articulate from the Graduate Certificate in Advanced Computing to the Master of Information Technology program (8684) provided they have failed no courses. Full credit will be granted where the student does not take out the award.

Students intending to articulate to the MIT should pay careful attention when selecting their courses to ensure they align with the program for the major of their preference.
