Units completed in the graduate diploma/ graduate certificate can be credited to the master's degree. For qualifications awarded outside Australia, equivalencies and entry requirements are determined based on the country, institution and qualification.

Students currently studying a Master of Information Technology who are exiting the degree after 1 semester or completion of 24 credit points may be eligible for a Graduate Certificate in Information Technology.
