ITECH2308 Contemporary Mainframes
This unit introduces students to mainframe concepts with knowledge and skills necessary to begin using the basic facilities of a mainframe computer, preparing them for a career in large systems computing. It covers the concepts of contemporary mainframes including their business usage, architecture, data set types and mainframe user interfaces. In the context of programming, students are introduced to various mainframe programming and scripting languages. This unit provides the basis for students to pursue subsequent course work in more advanced, specialised areas of mainframes, such as system administration or application programming.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
