Combined knowledge development and knowledge extension masters degrees


These degrees are normally completed in two semesters of full-time study or part-time equivalent.

These masters degrees build upon the cross-disciplinary knowledge gained in the relevant graduate diploma by developing specialist discipline knowledge at the masters level. Candidates for admission require a pass degree in the relevant discipline completed with an average grade of credit or above and some of these courses require work experience. Graduates have a tendency to move within related functions in business, government and the professions. Candidates for these masters degrees may apply for consideration for PhD candidature provided a significant research component has been completed at upper second class honours level or equivalent.
