Choosing a master's degree
You can either study full time (three semesters) or part time (five semesters) at the master's level.
Each unit of study may have up to five face-to-face study days (excluding the capstone). A normal part-time load is two units of study per semester.
The master's degree requires a total of 60 credit points – core and elective units of study make up 48 points, and a capstone completes the degree and is a further 12 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.
Applying for a master's degree
There is one intake of students in March each year.
Application must be made online. You will also need to upload copies of other documentation as part of your online application process. To assist you, there is a checklist of required documents that you will need.
