Diploma of Information Technology

Monash College's Diploma of Information Technology is a pathway into a Monash University IT degree, built around the reality that IT now shapes how nearly every industry operates, reaches customers and communicates. Part 1 covers foundational mathematics, science theory and the study skills needed for university-level work, while Part 2 has students studying the same subjects as first-year Monash University students, completing core units and electives that build specialist IT knowledge. Assessment spans tests, quizzes, group projects and presentations, reflecting the collaborative, project-based nature of real IT work rather than only exam-based evaluation. International students who complete Part 2 gain direct entry into second year of their Monash IT degree, while domestic students can enter first year after Part 1 or second year after Part 2. It suits students aiming for an IT career at Monash who need an alternative entry route due to academic score, English proficiency, or an international qualification that doesn't translate directly into Australian entry requirements.
