Graduate Diploma of Applied
Science (Biomedical Instrumentation)
A two year part-time program, or one year full-time, intended
for graduates in a medical, scientific or engineering discipline
who require a detailed knowledge of the design, construction
and operation of modern biomedical instrumentation. It offers
training in quantitative techniques and in specific instruments
and their applications.
This option is designed to serve the needs of graduates
working in the biomedical area. It offers training in
instrumentation and quantitative techniques together with the
biomedical applications of these techniques.
Each subject comprises fifty-two hours of class time (one
evening per week for one semester). Enrolment in introductory
subjects must be approved in each case by Head, School of
Biophysical Sciences and Electrical Engineering.
To qualify for the award a student must complete eight of the
subjects listed below of which one must be the project subject.
Students who complete four advanced subjects of the
graduate diploma at an acceptable level will be permitted to
transfer to the corresponding Master by coursework program.
Entry to biomedical instrumentation is open to applicants with
a first tertiary qualification in medicine, engineering and
biological sciences. An applicant whose position or experience
indicates an ability to succeed in the course may be accepted
with other qualifications or with less than the usual entry
qualifications.

Graduate Diploma of Applied
Science (Computer Science)
A one year full-time or two year part-time program for
graduates who require a specialised and practical education in
software development. The emphasis is on the acquisition of
systems development skills in the UNlX environment.
To qualify, a student must complete the seven subjects listed
below. The full-time program normally requires attendance for
sixteen hours per week for two semesters and the part-time
evening program eight hours per week for four semesters.
Students who successfully complete the program with an
average grade of distinction will be admitted directly to the
one year Master of Information Technology program.
Entry to the Graduate Diploma of Applied Science (Computer
science) is open to applicants with a krst tertiary qualification,
preferably in engineering or science.
