If you are a non-IT graduate wishing to upskill and move into the IT industry or enhance your existing career with technology-based qualifications, the Graduate Diploma in Computing will suit you. You will gain a strong foundation in information technologies, learn to design specialist systems, and develop skills integral to a wide range of disciplines such as health, science, engineering and business.

This program will provide you with a strong foundation in information technologies. You will be exposed to a range of specialist IT areas, which can then form the basis for further study or a new career in IT. If you are interested in pursuing further study, completing the Graduate Diploma in Computing with a credit average may prepare you for admission to the Master of Information Technology or Master of Information Technology Management.

To be eligible for admission, an applicant is required to have:

• an Australian bachelor’s degree with a credit average (65 percent) in a quantitative* discipline or equivalent qualification or
• an Australian bachelor's degree (with honours) or equivalent qualification

*A quantitative discipline includes data science, computer science, mathematics, statistics, engineering, physics, economics, finance or other disciplines that are deemed equivalent. As a guideline, the curriculum of a quantitative discipline should include some study of mathematics or statistics at the tertiary level.

For qualifications awarded outside Australia, equivalencies and entry requirements are determined based on the country, institution and qualification.
