Diploma of Information Technology (Advanced Programming)
Behind every great ICT solution is a great programmer. And it could be you – with Swinburne’s Diploma of Information Technology (Advanced Programming).
Get set to identify and solve complex business and ICT problems in this project-based course as you gain experience developing industry-relevant languages, platforms and practices. This isn’t a prescriptive course. Instead, you’ll take the lead to analyse client requirements and choose the languages and frameworks to best suit their needs – from languages like C#, SQL, T-SQL, HTML5 or CSS3 to platforms such as React, Angular, Entity Framework, MS Azure, AWS and Flutter. Draw on your course mentors as you take the challenge. And be rewarded with high-level technical skills and a portfolio of fully functional mobile, web, desktop and cloud applications.
With honed problem-solving and teamwork skills to help give you an edge, you’ll graduate ready for a vast array of career pathways, including systems architect, user interface analyst, contract manager, data mining specialist, support programmer, web application developer and more.
