Diploma in Information Technology

About

Overview

Prepare for an IT career in an ever-changing and booming industry. The Diploma in Information Technology is an important stepping-stone to achieve your career and study goals. Students who undertake a Diploma in Information Technology will be able to gain credit for up to the first year of study and articulate into the second year of many of the bachelor degrees in IT at ACU, or exit with the Diploma in Information Technology as a standalone qualification.

Not only does our Diploma in Information Technology have lower entry requirements than our bachelor degree, but it will help you to develop skills needed to succeed in more advanced tertiary study.

Our Diploma in Information Technology provides domestic students with a Commonwealth supported place (CSP-funded), and will help you achieve your goals.

We are here to support you from start to finish whether you have just finished Year 12 or finished years ago. We ensure smaller class sizes, offer tailored support as you transition to university study, and provide a range of student services to help you succeed.
