Graduate Certificate
A graduate certificate is the first stage of postgraduate study and takes around eight months to complete online, studying part-time. Graduate certificates are a great way to ease into postgraduate study, be introduced to the core concepts of a particular topic and explore what works best for you.
Graduate Diploma
A graduate diploma is the second stage of postgraduate study. You can complete them in around 16 months online, studying part-time, or less if you’ve already studied a graduate certificate. Graduate diplomas will give you the additional time to deepen your knowledge and establish a stronger understanding of your chosen study area.
Master's by coursework
A full master’s degree takes around two years of part-time online study, or less if you’ve completed a graduate certificate or graduate diploma. A master's degree will allow you to gain specialised and advanced knowledge in a particular topic, giving you a competitive edge in the employment marketplace.
