Most of our programs are offered at master’s, graduate diploma and graduate certificate levels, and in some cases, at advanced master’s level (which provides a closely supervised research opportunity that can be completed part-time).
We also offer a range of professional development and short courses:
Most units of study are available to take as stand alone units, completed across one semester. Whether you are a recent graduate or an experienced professional, you'll find our individual units of study extremely useful in enhancing your knowledge, skills and clinical practice in a particular area.
Our wide range of subjects can also be credited towards a future degree should you wish to pursue a further qualification.
Combining two units of study in a range of specialist areas, our professional certificates will enable professionals to quickly and succinctly gain expertise in the latest research, technology and medical treatments in their chosen field.
On completion, you will be recognised with a certificate from the University of Sydney acknowledging your additional study, and your studies will be recorded on your academic transcript.
You can pay as you go for your studies. You are only invoiced for the units of study you enrol in each semester, not the entire course fee up front.
Discover our 20 dedicated medicine and health professional certificates available.
Our short courses can give your qualifications a refresh, enable you to meet continuing professional development requirements, introduce you to new skills or tap into your creativity.
