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 graduate or 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 graduate or 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.
