The Graduate Diploma in Computer Science requires one year of full time study (or the equivalent part time). The course is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
The course articulates with the Master of Computer Science and the sequentially developed topics allow progression through the awards.
Applicants must normally hold an approved Bachelor degree or equivalent qualification in computer science, information technology, ICT-based engineering or a closely related discipline.
Knowledge of at least second year undergraduate level study in computer science is assumed.
The Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
The course has been designed to provide graduates with:
