A masters degree is a postgraduate degree that comprises twelve units.
A masters degree typically takes a year and a half of full-time study to complete. Part-time study options are also available.
A masters degree is a comprehensive qualification with a real-world focus, and an ideal way to take the next step in your career. The degree you receive online is equivalent to an on-campus qualification, equipping you with a breadth of career-relevant skills and a depth of knowledge.
A graduate diploma is a postgraduate degree that comprises eight units.
A graduate diploma typically takes a year of full-time study to complete. Part-time study options are also available.
A graduate diploma builds upon the foundational units common to the graduate certificate, so is perfect for when you wish to extend your professional knowledge into more specialised fields of enquiry. A graduate diploma can become the precursor to a sought-after promotion or even a career change.
A graduate certificate is a postgraduate degree that comprises four units.
A graduate certificate typically takes six months of full-time study to complete. Part-time study options are also available.
A graduate certificate is a full postgraduate qualification that equips you with an in-demand skill set, while providing an immediately useful overview of a specialised and career-focused subject area. It is an excellent way to formalise your existing knowledge with a postgraduate qualification, and leaves the door open for further postgraduate study at a later date.
A single unit is one subject from a traditional course such as a masters program. The only difference is that you will be studying the unit of your choice individually.
A single unit can be completed in a teaching period, so typically takes eight weeks to complete.
Single unit study is about freedom of choice and the ability to study exactly what you want, based on your personal interest or your professional development needs. You will also receive credit points for each single unit you complete, which can contribute towards you attaining a postgraduate qualification.
A micro unit is a tailored, condensed portion of a single unit.
A micro unit is typically completed in five weeks.
A micro unit is a dynamic encapsulation of a single unit, designed to convey the core knowledge of the subject, delivered through a dynamic online learning model. This makes it a flexible and convenient option for students who are interested in postgraduate study, but are unable to make the significant upfront time commitment to study a full degree.
