About this course

If you want to develop specialist IT knowledge, the Graduate Diploma in Information Technology is designed for graduates who either haven't previously studied IT, or who have completed the Graduate Certificate in Information Technology.

The one year program covers a comprehensive range of IT concepts and techniques, focusing on computer-based information systems and database technologies.

You'll complete eight courses from a huge range of options. They cover topics such as software systems, database systems, information security, and user-centred design. Elective courses also cover IT applications in different industry settings.

You'll also benefit from our flexible program. The Graduate Diploma in Information Technology offers a large number of elective courses, which means you can tailor your studies to suit your interests, your industry or your career goals.

On completion, you can choose to progress to the Master of Information Technology. Because courses in the graduate diploma are taken from the Master's course list, you can transfer study credits to the higher-level programs.
