Postgraduate Coursework Programs
Postgraduate coursework degrees are programs of study that lead to Postgraduate Certificates, Postgraduate Diplomas, or Master’s degrees. They usually require the successful completion of an appropriate Undergraduate degree or diploma course and sometimes applicants must have professional or other experience. Full details of admission requirements for individual programs can be found in the Programs of Study section in the Handbook of Postgraduate Studies.

There are two main types of postgraduate courses – research and coursework.
Coursework Degrees
Coursework programs are usually completed through units of study rather than by research. Postgraduate coursework degrees can result in three different types of accreditation; Masters, Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate. The admission requirement for postgraduate coursework programs is normally the possession of a Degree of Bachelor from a recognised university or other tertiary institution with major studies in the appropriate field.
