Graduate Certificate in Information Technology
It is designed to extend and update your knowledge in advanced computing subject areas, or provide an excellent retraining opportunity if you are a professional aiming to move to a new IT specialty.
You may undertake units of study towards this award full time over one semester or part time over one year.
If you are interested in pursuing further study, completing the Graduate Certificate in Information Technology with a credit average may prepare you for admission to the Master of Information Technology or Master of Information Technology Management.
In 2021, our Graduate Certificate in Information Technology will revert back to an exit award only, for those enrolled in the Graduate Diploma in Information Technology or Master of Information Technology.
Please consider one of these alternative degrees if you are interested in obtaining the Graduate Certificate in Information Technology at that time.
