Diploma of University Studies (Information Technology)

This pathway will suit you if you have decided to study an IT degree but do not have the entry requirements after completing VCE, as a mature student, or if you are now considering going to university after completing VCAL or an unscored VCE. The Diploma will prepare you for degree level study as well as getting you started on the subjects to start your IT qualification. Your studies will include academic writing, mathematical skills and developing an understanding of the university learning environment as well as a range of subjects selected from the first year of our suite of Information Technology degrees. This pathway will take you from the Diploma into the second year of most of our IT degrees. There are seven to choose from, so you decide which one suits you best. Having had a taste of core units from across these degrees, you will be well placed to make the best choice for you.

Successful completion of the Diploma of University Studies allows you to progress to the 2nd year of selected Bachelor-level programs, providing the opportunity to gain employment qualifications needed in the fields of Education, Information Technology, Sport, Physical and Outdoor Education, or Engineering.
