Take your career further with postgraduate study

Postgraduate study is open to all graduates with a bachelor’s degree or, in some cases, equivalent work experience.
Types of qualifications
6 months full-time study
A graduate certificate typically offers the essential or core units of study towards a master's degree. With the option to progress to a graduate diploma or master's degree.
It is a good option if you want to extend your existing knowledge base or upskill in a particular area to develop or advance your career.
12 months full-time study
Like a graduate certificate, a graduate diploma offers a subset of the units of study offered in a master's degree but more than those in a graduate certificate.
It is an excellent option if you want to upskill and get a solid grounding in your chosen field or don't want to commit to a master's degree.
1-2 years full-time study
Master's degrees are ideal if you need specialised knowledge and skills and want to take the next step in your career.
Gain professional qualifications for your next job, upskill for your current role or develop academic expertise in your chosen field.
