Most of our programs are also offered at master’s, graduate diploma and graduate certificate levels, and in some cases, at advanced master’s level (which provides a closely supervised research opportunity that can be completed part-time).
It is usually possible to move between these awards: if you do not meet the entry requirements for a master’s degree program, the graduate certificate or graduate diploma can provide an alternative entry pathway.
We also offer a range of professional development and short courses: you can undertake individual units of study, Professional Certificates, or short courses offered by Sydney Health Executive Education (SHEEd).
If you would like to undertake study in a specialised area without committing to a more extensive postgraduate degree, you can undertake a Sydney Professional Certificate comprising of two units of study.
