Discounted short courses

A UOW graduate certificate is a recognised qualification that includes four postgraduate subjects aimed at providing you with specialised knowledge and skills in a specific study area. 

Graduate certificates can be undertaken as a stand-alone program or used as a stepping stone to further postgraduate study. The four subjects offered are aligned with the course structure of at least one UOW master’s degree, which mean you can progress into a master’s if you’d like to continue studying.

The subsidised graduate certificates are listed on this page and include information on entry requirements and aligned master’s program.

UOW graduate certificates are an ideal way to get the extra knowledge you need to advance your current career or gain a competitive edge in the job market.

The majority of graduate certificates offered by UOW in 2021 are offered online, giving you the flexibility to choose when and where you study, and the ability to manage your study time around your personal and work commitments.

Graduate certificates are also a great opportunity to dip-your-toe into postgraduate study to see how it fits into your life. If you do decide to continue on to a master’s program you will receive credit for the four subjects you have successfully completed, and when you include the four fee-subsidised subjects into your master’s it will greatly reduce the usual tuition fee for this qualification.

When you receive a Commonwealth supported place at UOW, your tuition fees and student contributions are calculated at a subject level. Student contribution amounts vary depending on your subjects, and also on your year of enrolment and completion. 

When you study in a Commonwealth supported place you may also qualify to receive HECS-HELP, meaning you will have zero up-front tuition fees to outlay. The government's Study Assist site explains how this works.

To be eligible to enrol in a discounted graduate certificate, you must meet the following criteria:

• Be a domestic student, i.e. an Australian or New Zealand citizen, a permanent resident of Australia or a permanent Australian Humanitarian visa holder. These criteria are detailed on the government's Study Assist site.
• Meet the required admission criteria of the discounted Graduate Certificate. See the course information above for the admission criteria for each short course.
• Be enrolling in an eligible graduate certificate in Trimester 1 (Feb), Autumn session (March), Trimester 2 (May), Spring session (July) or Trimester 3 (Aug) of 2021.
