The Diploma in Information Technology is a one-year full-time (or equivalent part-time) course that will provide students with a foundation in computing, and the flexibility to take on more advanced and specialised topics - be that specific technical skills, professional skills, or mathematical areas related to modern computing.
This degree is designed for students seeking an introduction to study in information technology or looking to grow their computer science, data science, or mathematical skills. It aims to give students new to the field a solid grounding in fundamental principles of computer science as well as the flexibility to fill in their mathematical or data science skills depending on their background and intended destination. It also aims to give more experienced students a compact means to access introductory and intermediate units in information technology, computer science, and data science, in order to extend their skills in areas that are relevant to their career.

Your journey to becoming an IT professional starts here. Start with core subjects in programming. Then explore advanced topics including web, data science, and database management. Get the technical and professional skills needed in today’s IT careers.

Diploma in Information Technology

An operating system is a fundamental component of most modern computing environments. Operating systems have developed in parallel with computer hardware, advancing to ensure the hardware can be used as effectively as possible. Build the knowledge and skills needed to ensure that you can stay at the forefront of innovation in this rapidly evolving field. Studying this subject, you will be introduced to the core components and theoretical underpinnings of operating systems, including processes, memory management, file systems and scheduling, brought to life with real-world case studies. With this as a foundation, your understanding of these key concepts will be extended as you explore multiprocessor and distributed systems. The subject offers insights into concurrency control and topical issues in security. You will also have opportunities to fine tune your ability to plan and implement solutions for challenging programming problems.

Operating Systems

In a world where technology is constantly evolving, this subject will give you a well-rounded understanding of the application and impact of contemporary technologies and the impact on lawyers and clients. Structured in two parts, the first component provides you with a detailed analysis of the wide varieties of technologies and innovations in legal practice, from large international law firms to boutique sole practices, in-house counsel, community law centres and corporates. The second half examines the impacts of blockchain, artificial intelligence (big data) and other evolving technologies on clients and examines how lawyers can understand the risks and needs for clients.
