• Completing the Graduate Certificate can be a stepping stone to an information systems masters program, such as the UniSQ Master of Information Systems where you can further advance your skills and become professionally accredited by the Australian Computer Society.
• Space out your study around work or life commitments by taking one course in each study period (part-time study) or finish your graduate certificate in 6 months of full-time study.
