Lead your field with the latest academic and industry insights
Perhaps it’s been several years since your undergraduate studies, you’re at a career crossroads, or that promotion at work feels just out of reach. Graduate diplomas and graduate certificates are an excellent way to focus-in on the most recent industry updates, best practice, and know-how to refresh your knowledge and arm you with the practical skills and fundamental knowledge to exceed in your current role or go for that promotion.

"Having no previous experience in HR, I often left lectures and tutorials inspired. It encouraged me to follow through with a career change and provided a great pathway into studying the Master's degree. The support of the lecturers and staff was always there, especially reassuring during COVID-19, and the connections made with them and the other students are invaluable.”

Flexible study options to suit your career and lifestyle
A graduate diploma or certificate requires less commitment of both your time and your money. If you opt for part time study, it’s a quick way of upskilling while still working, and if you opt for full time study, it’s less time out of the work force.
Choosing this pathway also allows you to keep your postgraduate options open should you wish to go on to study further. If you do decide you enjoyed the course content and you wish to study further, or perhaps you didn’t have the entry requirements to go straight into master’s level study, your graduate diploma or certificate learnings can be credited towards a master’s level program.

“I started the Graduate Certificate to support my move into an HR Business Partner role. I found it has helped me to develop my knowledge and gain a good understanding of the Australian employment law landscape. I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with peers in lectures and to expand my network, and this has led me to continue with further HRMIR studies.”
