COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course summary
The Graduate Certificate in Computing provides a postgraduate introduction to computing for students without prior knowledge of IT and computing. It will allow graduates and professionals from a non-IT background to add to their current knowledge and skills set with a recognised qualification in computing. With 5.1 million Australian jobs at high risk of digital disruption and businesses competing in a data-driven global economy, digital technologies and innovation will need more employees trained in computing and information technology. Job growth in these areas will be exponential around the world with increasing employment opportunities in data science, cyber security, IT management, health informatics, and software engineering and development.
The program includes subjects in IT project management where students will develop skills in methods and processes associated with the task of managing information technology and software development projects in an ethical and professional manner; research methodology where students will define research problems, and design solutions; and a selection of technical subjects to develop skills for further study or for your professional field. UOW ranked first number one in NSW/ACT for Skills Development in postgraduate Computing and Information Systems. (QILT 2019)
