Graduate certificates

Graduate Certificates can be used as stand-alone postgraduate study or as a pathway into a Masters degree. Students who have not studied at a tertiary level for some time often use this route.

Non-award units of study
Students may elect to study any unit offered in the postgraduate coursework area as a non-award unit. Should you wish to study at graduate certificate, graduate diploma or masters level at a later date any units studied may be credited towards the certificate or degree.
