Overview
Prepare for an IT career in an ever-changing and booming industry. The Diploma in Information Technology is an important stepping-stone to achieve your career and study goals. Students who undertake a Diploma in Information Technology will be able to gain credit for up to the first year of study and articulate into the second year of many of the bachelor degrees in IT at ACU, or exit with the Diploma in Information Technology as a standalone qualification.
Not only does our Diploma in Information Technology have lower entry requirements than our bachelor degree, but it will help you to develop skills needed to succeed in more advanced tertiary study.
Our Diploma in Information Technology provides domestic students with a Commonwealth supported place (CSP-funded), and will help you achieve your goals.
We are here to support you from start to finish whether you have just finished Year 12 or finished years ago. We ensure smaller class sizes, offer tailored support as you transition to university study, and provide a range of student services to help you succeed.
Fees
Course costs
*This is an indicative first-year fee based on the tuition fee rates for a full-time student, using unit enrolment data from domestic students who studied the course in the previous year.
A student’s annual fee will vary depending on factors including:
- Number of units studied per year
- Choice of major or specialisation
- Elective units
The University reviews fees annually.
You can view current course costs and domestic tuition fee rates by unit.
Payment options
You should be able to concentrate on getting good marks instead of worrying about how you’ll pay your fees. We have a number of options that can help you ease the financial burden, including government assistance, scholarships and income support.
Scholarships
You could be eligible for one of the hundreds of scholarships we award each year to help students from across the university with the cost of studying, accommodation or overseas study opportunities. Some of our scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit, but these aren’t just for the academically gifted; ACU also recognises excellence in community engagement and leadership. We also offer a range of scholarships for those who may be struggling financially or who have faced other barriers to accessing education.
