Graduate Certificate / Graduate Diploma / Postgraduate Certificate / Postgraduate Diploma

A range of non-Masters graduate programs are available to for those wishing to complete a shorter program of study or for those requiring a pathway into a Masters program.


Graduate Certificate in Arts

A Graduate Certificate allows you to complete a comprehensive six-month course of study, choosing from a range of discipline areas.


Graduate Diploma in Arts

A Graduate Diploma is similar to an undergraduate major and ideally suited as an introduction to the new discipline. This course is suitable for professional development and also a preparatory program for those who intend to study at a higher level in an area not studied previously.


Postgraduate Certificate in Arts

The Postgraduate Certificate is a short, coherent degree in a specialist area of study. The course may provide an entry point for further graduate study.

Postgraduate Diploma in Arts

The Postgraduate Diploma allows students to undertake a combination of coursework and research study in a specialist field of study. This course is equivalent to an Arts Honours program if the thesis component is taken and serves as prerequisite entry to a Masters by Research or PhD for those who have not completed a four-year Arts (Honours) degree in the relevant area.
