Course overview
In Digital Fundamentals, students begin by exploring the basics of digital logic and progress to designing and implementing useful digital electronic circuits using a hardware description language and programmable logic device. By the end of the course, students will have mastered the skills to design, simulate, test, and evaluate combinational and sequential logic circuits of moderate complexity. They will also be familiar with design considerations such as power dissipation, delay, and managing complexity through modularity and abstraction.
- Introduction To Digital Logic
- Combinational Logic

Study Abroad student tuition fees are available here.
Only some Postgraduate Coursework programs are available as Commonwealth Supported. Please check your program for specific fee information.
The Student Contribution amount displayed below is for students commencing a new program from 2021 onwards. If you are continuing in a program you commenced prior to 1 January 2021, or are commencing an Honours degree relating to an undergraduate degree you commenced prior to 1 January 2021, you may be charged a different Student Contribution amount from the amount displayed below. Please check the Student Contribution bands for continuing students here. If you are an international student, or a domestic student studying in a full fee paying place, and are continuing study that you commenced in 2025 or earlier, your fees will be available here before enrolments open for 2026.
