Choosing a graduate diploma

You can either choose to study the graduate diploma alone, or as a pathway into a master’s degree.

The graduate diploma can be studied either full-time or part-time. Each unit of study may have up to five face-to-face study days. A normal part-time load is two units of study per semester. The graduate diploma is two semesters full-time or four semesters part-time.

The graduate diploma requires a total of 36 credit points. Award units taken at graduate diploma and graduate certificate levels may also count towards a master’s degree. Any non-award units of study already completed may also be credited towards a graduate diploma.

Student learning is further supported by the University’s eLearning.
