The diploma allows graduates to enrol in senior undergraduate papers. Students do not have to fulfil the formal prerequisite requirements for each paper but the University must be satisfied that they have the necessary background to succeed in any paper in which they enrol. Programme Structure Students are required to pass eight papers including four 300-level COMP papers. The remaining papers may include COMP 102 Computer Programming and any other papers at 200 level or above from the schedules of the Bachelor of Applied Computing or any other Lincoln degree. Students with recent programming experience can complete the Graduate Diploma in one year.
Students can enrol in three or four papers in each of the three semesters.
This allows students to take COMP 102 and still include a number of the more advanced programming papers. Most students find this a comfortable workload.
