A bachelor degree in any discipline from an Australian university or college, or equivalent; or a CQUniversity Graduate Diploma in Information Technology or equivalent.

Candidates who have completed an approved graduate diploma such as the Graduate Diploma of Information Technology (CG56), will be granted advanced standing of up to 6 courses in this program.

International students should visit http://www.international.cqu.edu.au/ for further information including English language requirements.

 

Advanced entry is available directly into term 2 for students who can demonstrate that they have attained the required knowledge. These students will undertake 9 courses to complete the program. To be granted advanced entry a student must:

 

1.  have a bachelor degree; and

2.  be able to demonstrate they have the required knowledge (based on the content of COIS20025, COIT20233 and COIT29222); and

3.  either:

• have two years relevant work experience; or
• have one year other postgraduate education; or
• have attained a final year GPA of 4.7 in their undergraduate degree at an Australian Institution or equivalent.
  

Students may also be granted advanced standing for one or two courses if they meet the requirements of (1) and (3) above but cannot sufficiently demonstrate that they have the required knowledge (based on the content of  in all three courses COIS20025, COIT20233 and COIT29222) to receive full advanced standing.

Please note that the Australian Computer Society's Pre-Application Skills Assessment (PASA) Guidelines for Applications states that no advanced standing, credit or exemption given on the basis of qualifications from overseas will be considered in relation to an Australian Graduate Diploma or higher degree qualification. 

Please contact the Program Advisor before applying for or accepting credit into this program for courses completed at an institution outside of Australia.

In formulating their program of study candidates who are studying part-time by distance education should give consideration to their work and other commitments, and the prerequisites for advanced courses and if necessary seek advice from the Program Advisor.

Students will require access to a computer and printer. Access to the Internet is also required for some courses. The suggested minimum requirement is an IBM compatible computer. If buying a new computer, students should purchase the best quality and highest capacity they can afford. CQUniversity campuses have computers, which may be accessed by students on a 24 hour basis.
