It provides courses in programming, technical computing, end user computing, simulation and information systems which focus on understanding and evaluating existing techniques and theories before applying them.
It is a one-year course.
The course of study for the Postgraduate Diploma must include at least 40 credits chosen from Schedule A and B of the Master of Software and Information Technology with at least 20 credits from Schedule A.
