Graduate Diploma in Computer Science
Program available at Hamilton and Tauranga Campus
Graduate diplomas are intended to provide the equivalent of a major in a subject area that is different from your first degree’s major. You may be eligible if you haven’t studied for a degree before if you can demonstrate an interest in the subject area and a satisfactory academic ability.
A graduate diploma is a more in-depth version of a graduate certificate, is studied at the undergraduate level, and can be completed in the equivalent of one year (two semesters) of full-time study, or in some cases, extended part-time study.
Computer Science is rapidly changing the world we live in. Studying Computer Science at the University of Waikato, you'll learn about software systems and how people and computers interact. You’ll also learn how to create new software, and ensure it's easy for people to use.
