A one-year grounding in programming, networking and systems thinking — built to carry full credit into Year 2 of the Bachelor of Information Technology (Cybersecurity).
The Diploma of Information Technology introduces the core disciplines that every IT career is built on — programming logic, networking, databases and systems design — before you specialise into a security-focused degree. Taught on our Curepipe campus at the same standard expected of Year 1 and 2 Bachelor study, it's designed for students who want a structured, supported entry point into computing rather than a self-taught scramble. Most students use the Diploma as a direct, credit-bearing route into the Bachelor of Information Technology (Cybersecurity).
Six core units delivered across two semesters, covering the foundations that underpin every IT specialisation.
On successful completion, graduates receive full credit into Year 2 of the Bachelor of Information Technology (Cybersecurity), with no units to repeat and no time lost.
