Graduate Certificate in Information Technology

In response to COVID-19, the University of Sydney has reviewed the availability of courses to be delivered remotely.

This course will be available for students to study remotely whilst the Australian border remains closed due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Please note that some units of study that are not essential to completing the degree may not be available to be studied remotely.

About this course

It is designed to extend and update your knowledge in advanced computing subject areas, or provide an excellent retraining opportunity if you are a professional aiming to move to a new IT specialty.

You may undertake units of study towards this award full time over one semester or part time over one year.

If you are interested in pursuing further study, completing the Graduate Certificate in Information Technology with a credit average may prepare you for admission to the Master of Information Technology or Master of Information Technology Management.

In 2021, our Graduate Certificate in Information Technology will revert back to an exit award only, for those enrolled in the Graduate Diploma in Information Technology or Master of Information Technology.

Please consider one of these alternative degrees if you are interested in obtaining the Graduate Certificate in Information Technology at that time.

Applying for a Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

There is no separate application required to apply for a CSP. Once you apply for admission, if you are successful in securing a CSP, you will receive notification via an offer of admission.

A Commonwealth supported place (CSP) is not guaranteed as there are a limited number of CSPs available for postgraduate courses. The number of available CSPs for a course can change each semester/year. CSPs are also not automatically awarded for course transfers and upgrades.

CSPs are awarded for the duration of a course based on academic merit determined by the University and eligibility criteria specified by the Australian Government. Learn more about CSPs. If you do not qualify for a CSP you may be offered a domestic fee-paying place.
