When you graduate, you’ll receive a Graduate Certificate in Information and Communications Technology from the University of the Sunshine Coast.
You’ll also have the globally recognised, third-party industry certifications employers look for beyond a degree:
Students from other programs will spend extra time and money earning these after they graduate, meaning that you graduate several steps ahead of your competition with the certifications employers look for in leadership positions.
If you decide to pursue the master’s program after completing the graduate certificate, you may transfer your graduate certificate credits to the program. This means you only need to complete 10 courses to earn your master’s degree.
This course can be paid for through the FEE-HELP government loan scheme. If you are an Australian citizen or hold a permanent humanitarian visa, you may not need to pay upfront.
Instead, the Australian government will pay your course fees directly to the provider on your behalf. You’ll begin repaying your loan through the tax system once you start earning more than the minimum threshold of $54,435 (2024-25 financial year).
