About this program
The Graduate Diploma of Networking covers networking and security topics spanning Internet of Things platforms, sensor networks, LAN/WAN design, VPNs and Cisco networking, aimed at graduates moving into IT and computer networking careers. It runs on a cognate/non-cognate structure: applicants with an IT-related bachelor's degree take a shorter core-plus-elective path (including a Cybersecurity specialisation elective set), while applicants from other disciplines complete two additional foundational units first.
Delivered over 2 trimesters full-time from the Melbourne and Sydney campuses, with three intakes a year.
