Certificate programs are specifically designed to cater for students who wish to undertake a university program in half a year of full-time or one year of part-time study. Students who obtain grades of credit average or above may apply for entry into a relevant graduate or postgraduate diploma and obtain a maximum of 50 per cent credit towards the completion of that diploma. The faculty certificate together with the diploma can therefore be completed in one year of full-time study, or the part-time equivalent. Some of the graduate and postgraduate diplomas articulate with masters programs. Refer to individual programs for details of faculty certificates, diplomas and masters degrees. Faculty certificates are full-fee-paying programs and are not covered by PELS. Graduate certificate programs are either HECS or full-fee-paying, and are covered by PELS for eligible students in the latter case.
Students with a bachelors degree or five years of relevant, documented, professional experience at senior level may apply. Applicants without a bachelors degree must attach the following information to their application: two references which comment on the nature and extent of their experience; a full CV; and a statement of up to 1000 words indicating the applicant's career objectives and reasons for applying for entry.
