Graduate certificates, graduate diplomas and master's degrees
Graduate certificate
A graduate certificate typically offers the essential or core units of study towards a master’s degree. It is a good option to extend your existing knowledge base or upskill in a certain area to develop or advance your career. Graduate certificates can usually be completed in six months of full-time study, or potentially support your progress to an associated graduate diploma and/or master’s degree, subject to progression requirements.
Graduate diploma
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 also an excellent option if you would like to upskill and get a solid grounding in your chosen field and/or don’t want to commit to a full master’s just yet. Graduate diplomas are usually one year of full-time study.
Master's degree
Master’s degrees are ideal if you need specialized knowledge and skills, and want to take the next step in your career. You can gain professional qualifications for your next job, upskill for your current role, and/or develop academic expertise in your chosen field. If studying full-time, master’s degrees typically require one or two-years to complete.
Advanced master's degree
An advanced master’s degree involves an in-depth specialisation or a broadening of the knowledge of a certain study field. That is why a master’s degree is required for admission to an advanced master’s program.
