About

The University of Western Sydney (UWS) licenses UWSCollege as its agent, to manage and teach its Academic programs. Students undertaking the Diploma in Information and Communications Technology are also students of UWS.

The Diploma provides students with a broad range of knowledge and skills, to prepare them for second year university study.

The course content of both the Three Semester (Standard) and Two Semester (Fast Track) program is equivalent to the content of the first-year of the corresponding UWS undergraduate degree.

The Two Semester (Fast Track) Diploma program allows students to complete one university equivalent year in eight months. This means that Fast Track graduates can complete a three year UWS undergraduate degree in just two years and eight months.
