About the course

Massey’s Graduate Diploma in Information Sciences will give you the software design and development skills needed to make you a sought-after employee, both in New Zealand, and internationally. The Graduate Diploma in Information Sciences (GradDipInfSc) is intended mainly for graduates in an unrelated area who are seeking to retrain or upskill in the information sciences. Many of the students are studying via distance (online study) because they are working full time. Massey is one of the few universities in New Zealand where your information sciences qualification covers all five disciplines of computer science, data science, information technology, information systems and software engineering. Many graduates have found it really useful to complete the Graduate Diploma “with no endorsement”. This means that you can select the courses you are most interested in from across the range of subjects. You are strongly encouraged to select “no endorsement”. You’ll learn a broad spectrum of skills from business management through to software development. So you’ll emerge from your studies at Massey with a well-rounded understanding of the whole industry. You’ll gain the applied skills that you’ll need to become an excellent ICT professional. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
