Why study for a postgraduate degree?

Whether you're looking to enhance your career, pursue your subject at a higher level or increase your earning potential, a postgraduate qualification can have many advantages.

Every university in Australia offers postgraduate courses, so whether you're in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, or any location in the country, it doesn't matter where you decide to embark on the next stage of your education.

There are a number of study options at postgraduate level including part time and distance learning. This flexibility makes postgraduate study accessible to more people, including mature and work-sponsored students, as well as those who have come straight from undergraduate study. It can be the natural next step after undergraduate study, or a challenge to embark on later in life.

Qualification types

Graduate certificates and diplomas last for between six months and one year of study. They generally provide a more intensive study of previous knowledge or new professional material. They can also be stepping stones to further postgraduate studies. At degree level, there are two types of postgraduate qualifications on offer in Australia: master's and doctoral degrees. Master's degrees usually involve two years of study after a bachelor degree, or one year of study after a bachelor degree with Honours.

There are three types of master's degrees:

Coursework: consists of coursework and project work
Research: consists of at least two-thirds research with a thesis
Professional: may consist of a work-based project

There are two types of doctoral degrees offered:

Research: consists mainly of supervised research
Professional: consists of a combination of coursework and research... More postgraduate info
