Postgraduate Diploma of Applied Technologies - Computing
Upskill or add specialist skills to your qualifications by diving deeper into postgraduate study. Alongside an intro to research methodologies, you’ll complete a 30-credit applied project connected to your work or experience.
Programme overview
Is it time to take the next step in your computing career? In this postgraduate diploma, you’ll build on the knowledge and skills of your undergraduate degree by concentrating on a specialisation you’re interested in – cybersecurity and networking, software development or data analytics and intelligence. You’ll gain deeper insights into a specific area of ICT while strengthening your leadership and collaboration capabilities.
This programme includes two compulsory courses: Research Methods sets you up for advanced research if you do more postgraduate study, and Applied Project provides a chance to undertake and manage an IT project that expands your work experience.
