Certificate programs are specifically designed to cater for students who
wish to undertake a short postgraduate course, either to enhance vocational
skills or prepare for further study. These programs can be completed in six
months of full-time study or one year of part-time study. International
students are not permitted to enrol in faculty certificate programs. Students
who complete a certificate program with a grade of credit average or above may
apply to transfer into a relevant graduate or postgraduate diploma and obtain a
maximum of 50% credit towards the completion of that diploma. Some of the
graduate and postgraduate diplomas articulate with masters programs. Students
who successfully complete a faculty certificate program are awarded their
certificate by the faculty and do not participate in the university graduation.
Refer to individual programs for details of graduate or faculty certificates,
diplomas and masters degrees.
Graduate certificate programs in particular disciplines either have limited
Commonwealth-supported places or full-fee places. Students may apply for
FEE-HELP in the latter case. Faculty certificates offer full-fee places only,
and these are not covered by FEE-HELP.
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.
