Admission Criteria Admission Criteria
This course is open to students who hold an undergraduate degree or equivalent.
Applicants with an approved undergraduate degree in a non-Information Technology discipline from a recognised tertiary institution or approved equivalent with at least 12 months relevant work experience. As no prior knowledge of Information Technology is assumed, applicants with an Information Technology related degree will be considered only if that degree was awarded over four years ago in which case advanced standing will depend on the applicant’s industry experience.
Successful completion of an Undergraduate Degree in any discipline equivalent to an Australian Bachelor degree.
Non Graduate Special Entry: Applicants without an undergraduate degree but who have significant relevant employment experience, normally at least 4 years. The relevance of work experience will be assessed in line with Swinburne RPL Policy. Applications for exemption based on completed units in other degree studies will also be considered in line policy. Applicants may be required to be interviewed as part of the approval process.
Non Graduate Special Entry: Five (5) years significant relevant work experience and evidence of academic capability (e.g. successful completion of a Certificate or Diploma course at a TAFE with high grades or attaining a GMAT of 550 or higher). Such applicants may be eligible for admission to the Graduate Certificate of Technology (Business Systems) (subject to completing the required pre-requisite units).
