COURSE DESCRIPTION
A Diploma is a 12-month course that gives you the foundational skills and knowledge in a specific area of study. A Diploma in Computer Science will take you straight into Second Year at UNSW’s world-renowned School of Computer Science and Engineering.
It is a great option for you as an international student if you need a bit more support but don’t want to add extra time to your degree. If you have just missed out on direct entry into your preferred bachelor’s degree, or hold qualifications that are not recognised by UNSW Sydney, this could also be the program for you.
Who is this program for?
The UNSW Diploma Program has been designed specifically for international students. Our Diplomas make it easy to adjust to university, with:
smaller classes and at least 20% extra teaching time
additional English and academic support
course material equivalent to First Year courses within the UNSW Sydney degree, and
access to the same facilities and resources as undergraduate students.
With an innovative First Year equivalent curriculum, you will learn about the design, construction and uses of computer systems with an emphasis on the basic principles behind computing tools, operating systems, compilers and translators, and computer hardware.
Why study computer science at UNSW Sydney?
Australia’s No.1 Engineering faculty has a strong focus on research, providing an education where you will question, experiment and make new discoveries. You will graduate ready to launch your future in computer science.
UNSW provides world-class education and a career-focused student experience. You will belong to a connected student community with opportunities to expand your network socially and professionally, as well as full access to UNSW’s world-class libraries, labs, clubs and societies.
You will explore new ideas and diverse perspectives within a vibrant student community, through a wide choice of majors available in your Bachelor of Science (Computer Science).
