Online Applied Computing Degree :: Accredited Universities

The Bachelor of Applied Computing is an articulated course which is specifically designed for students wishing to upgrade their TAFE Diploma qualifications to Bachelor level via university studies. To qualify for entry into the Bachelor of Applied Computing degree, applicants must hold an approved NSW TAFE or Gold Coast Institute of TAFE Diploma of Information Technology or Advanced Diploma of Information Technology or equivalent qualification.

Students holding a TAFE Diploma of Information Technology or Advanced Diploma will receive the equivalent of 12 units (144 credit points) of the 24-unit Bachelor degree as credit — leaving them with only 12 units (144 credit points) to complete at university. These 12 units can be completed in 18 months of full-time study or equivalent part-time study.

Students holding a TAFE Advanced Diploma in Information Technology (Systems Development) with Distinction will receive the equivalent of 16 units (192 credit points) of the 24-unit Bachelor degree as credit — leaving them with only 8 units (96 credit points) to complete at university. These eight units can be completed in 12 months of full-time study or equivalent part-time study.

The degree builds on and enhances the practical skills gained during your TAFE studies providing graduates with greater avenues for employment and career advancement.

The University also offers the mentoring program Women in Technology to provide dedicated support for women entering this specialised area.

The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) program is exclusively designed for learners with at least two years of transferable credit from institutions other than UNCP, who hold either Associate in Applied Arts or Associate in Applied Science degrees. The program serves adult students, in particular, who seek a broad, more flexible degree program to help them to advance or become more established in their careers or to improve their understanding of the world around them. The BIS is intended for a set of diverse students who bring to the university many academic, personal, and work-related experiences. They may choose the BIS program because (1) they are aware that they are more employable in many occupations with the degree, (2) that learning in the arts and sciences and in a field of specialization leads to understanding and empowerment, and (3) they review their personal plans and recognize that they can effectively meet their most important goals for a bachelor's degree through the BIS. The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies in Applied Information Technology builds upon computer programming skills as core requirements, and augments such proficiencies with management of information technology and communication skills. Courses in decision sciences such as operations management, statistics, and project management enhance these skills. Graduates will be ready for a variety of practical careers requiring application of computers and computing/statistical skills to managerial decision making.
