Credit
Graduate Certificate in Database Design and Management
Each pair of industry subjects will be treated as 16 points of credit. Since this represents the maximum credit possible in the course, there is no credit available for university subjects (e.g. ITC coded subjects).
Master of Database Design and Management
Each of the industry streams will be treated as a package of 48 points of credit. Since this represents the maximum credit possible in the course, there is no credit available for university subjects (e.g. ITC coded subjects). It may be possible however to substitute a different university subject where similar material has been previously studied. Please contact the course coordinator for more information.
Graduation requirements*
To graduate, students must satisfactorily complete 96 points, which includes the completion of the relevant industry stream certificate (for which credit of 48 points is given) for the Master degree or 32 points including the completion of 16 points of relevant industry stream subjects for the Graduate Certificate.
*The number of subjects and specific subject choices are described in the course structure and enrolment pattern for the course.
