Program
The degree is completed through classroom subjects in a particular discipline or professional area. Some courses may also offer the chance to include a research subject.
Assessment is based on a combination of written assignments, presentations, formal examinations, class participation and practical exercises.
You have the choice of three coursework degrees, all of which have different entry requirements.
Masters by Coursework (1–2 years)
For students who have a recognised Bachelor degree in the same discipline as the Masters degree.
Most of the degree is completed through classroom subjects in a particular discipline or professional area. Some Masters degrees are open to students with a Bachelor degree in any major, for example, the MBA, Master of Professional Accounting or Master of Computer Studies.
Graduate Diploma (1 year)
For students who want to take an alternative educational direction to their Bachelor degree.
Graduate Certificate (6 months)
For students who have academic qualifications and professional experience other than a Bachelor degree—or a Bachelor degree in a different area. It could lead to entry into a Masters degree.
Workload
As a guide, the workload for a single subject (six credit points) is an average of 12 hours per week including class and personal study time.
Flexibility
You can discuss your program with the head of the academic unit, the faculty postgraduate coordinator or UniAdvice. Many subjects can be undertaken on a part-time basis. Part-time students usually enrol in half the full-time degree—four subjects (24 credit points) per year. Please note that some Postgraduate degrees can only be completed full-time.
