Integrated masters

Accelerate your learning

For those who know where they're going

Combine your bachelor's and master's degree and get where you're going faster and for less cost, than completing them separately.

Integrated Master’s Explained

This four-year pathway combines an undergraduate and postgraduate business degree, broadening your knowledge and giving you an edge in the job market.

Complete your bachelor's degree first, then transfer straight into your master's with course credits that cut both the time and cost of finishing your postgraduate qualification.

Once you've completed your undergraduate degree, choose to continue your postgraduate study at Wollongong, our Sydney CBD campus, or online.

Combine any of these 3-year bachelor's degrees with a 1-year master's:

Entry requirements

Integrated Master’s programs are open to both domestic and international students. Entry requirements are the same as those for the corresponding undergraduate degrees. See information under the Admissions, Key dates, and Fees heading on the course pages linked above.

After successful completion of the bachelor’s degree, you will receive a transfer of course credits that will allow you to complete your Master’s degree in one year (or part-time equivalent). 

Fees

You will save time and money when you complete an integrated master’s program at UOW:

  • Four subjects that you complete in your bachelor’s degree will count towards your master’s degree, allowing you to complete your studies earlier, and for less cost.
  • The tuition fee you pay for your master’s degree is locked in at the rate offered when you start the program, allowing you avoid any price rises that might have occurred in your three years of undergraduate study.

Domestic students

Your bachelor degree will be eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), meaning that you pay a student contribution amount towards the cost of your course. The amount you pay is calculated based on the subject cluster and the Equivalent Full-time Study Load (EFTSL) value of the subject. For information regarding student contribution amounts, please refer to the UOW Fees website.

Your master’s degree will not automatically be eligible for a CSP and therefore will be full-fee paying*. You can still defer your tuition fees via FEE-HELP, a loan scheme offered by the Federal Government for all Australian citizens. Repayments are automatically deducted from your salary by the Australian Taxation Office once your income reaches a certain amount. This amount changes every year. See StudyAssist for repayment details.

*Depending on availability, you may be issued a CSP offer for your Master’s degree. Please see the Domestic postgraduate fees page for further information on fees and payment options.

International students

International student fees are available on the UOW International Student Fees website. You will find tuition fees displayed by degree for both undergraduate and postgraduate coursework.

Real-world experience

Jorge Perez shares how a UOW business internship assists students in gaining invaluable exposure to successful businesses, and the opportunity to apply their learning with real-world practice.

LEARN MORE

Internships is an add-on to what they learn at the University. We learn theory concepts but we don't necessarily get taste off of the workforce. Once they go into an internship, they're able to put that theory into practice.

The idea is that the internship program that we run on is actually supported by a team at the Faculty of Business. We actually source the opportunities. We know our industry partners. We put students through our recruitment process which is very similar to what they'll face when they go into industry and you know university degree is great but you need that experience.

A lot of recruiters will ask for that two to five year experience. How do you get that as a university student when you are studying? Internships give you that. It's the combination of workplace experience and university degree, combining it and then be able to go to a job interview and say: “yes, I've got the experience you require”.
