Information and computing technology affects all aspects of modern life and there is a worldwide shortage of ICT professionals. Its applications now include, not only commerce and science, but also health, education, engineering, transport, government, entertainment, sport, and social networking. It has become so complex that only well-educated professionals are capable of developing and applying ICT systems in modern organisations.
The Graduate Diploma in Information Technology is designed for those who do not have a computing background and who are seeking a qualification in information technology. Candidates who have a computing background who wish to update their information technology skills are also able to enrol for the Graduate Diploma.
Study is available in areas such as web programming, software engineering, interaction design, computer networks, artificial intelligence and software project management.
The Graduate Diploma in Information Technology has been granted Associate Level accreditation by the Australian Computer Society.
