Program overview
The Graduate Certificate in Information Systems is designed for graduates in areas other than computing who want to be fully qualified for a career in Information Systems.
As a graduate in other disciplines requiring knowledge and skills in Information Systems, you enhance your career prospects within your own discipline, as well as providing a pathway into the IS industry.
The four-course Graduate Certificate articulates into the eight-course Graduate Diploma in Information Systems. This structure allows you to "stage" your program if necessary, by achieving a recognised qualification and, subject to certain time conditions, returning to upgrade your qualification later.
Admission requirements
