Program Learning Outcomes Statement

Upon completion of the GD188 Graduate Diploma in Information Technology, you will have achieved the following Program Learning Outcomes: 

  1. Enabling Knowledge

    You will gain skills as you apply knowledge with creativity and initiative to new situations. In doing so, you will:

    - Demonstrate mastery of a body of knowledge that includes recent developments in computer science and information technology;

    - Recognise and use research principles and methods applicable to computer science and information technology.

  2. Critical Analysis

    You will learn to accurately and objectively examine, and critically investigate computer science and information technology (IT) concepts, evidence, theories or situations, in particular to:

    - Analyse and model complex requirements and constraints for the purpose of designing and implementing software artefacts and IT systems;

    - Evaluate and compare designs of software artefacts and IT systems on the basis of organisational and user requirements.

  3. Problem Solving

    Your capability to analyse complex problems and synthesise suitable solutions will be extended as you learn to:

    - Design and implement software solutions that accommodate specified requirements and constraints, based on analysis or modelling or requirements specification.

  4. Communication

    You will learn to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences through a range of modes and media, in particular to:

    - Interpret abstract theoretical propositions, choose methodologies, justify conclusions and defend professional decisions to both IT and non-IT personnel via technical reports of professional standard and technical presentations. 

  5. Team Work

    You will learn to work as an effective and productive team member in a range of professional and social situations, in particular to:

    - Work effectively in different roles, to form, manage, and successfully produce outcomes from collaborative teams, whose members may have diverse cultural backgrounds and life circumstances, and differing levels of technical expertise.

  6. Responsibility

    You will be required to accept responsibility for your own learning and make informed decisions about judging and adopting appropriate behaviour in professional and social situations. This includes accepting the responsibility for independent life-long learning and a high level of accountability. Specifically, you will learn to:
