Nested suite of programs
Several disciplines offer suites of programs (Graduate
Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Masters) which enable
students the flexibility of entry points. Suites are available in
a number of disciplines including information systems,
business administration, innovation, telecommunications
and risk management.
Graduate Certificate
This is usually an entry level postgraduate qualification for
applicants with several years experience and is an alternative
for those without any formal undergraduate qualifications.
Graduate Diploma
Generally a one year full-time course or a two year part-time
course. Applicants must normally have an undergraduate
degree, though not necessarily in the proposed areas of
study. Applicants without a degree, but with substantial
appropriate experience, may also be eligible for entry.
Admission with advance standing
Graduates with good results in a relevant Graduate
Certificate course are eligible to apply for a Graduate
Diploma. Students may receive credits for some or all
subjects already studied, thereby reducing time taken to
complete the Graduate Diploma.
-
Masters dearee by coursework
The duration of the course varies by subject but it is
generally from one to two years full-time (or equivalent
part-time).
,
Applicants .. must normally have an undernraduate -
degree.
Admission with advanced standing
Graduates with good results in a relevant Graduate Diploma
course are eligible to apply for a Masters by coursework.
Students may receive credits for some or all subjects already
studied, thereby reducing time taken to complete the
Masters.
Entrance requirements
Applicants for admission to postgraduate courses normally
are expected to have completed a degree or diploma.
The specific requirements vary from course to course: some
are open to those with any tertiary qualification, others may
require a qualification in a specific discipline or range of
disciplines.
Provision is made for admission of applicants who have
qualifications other than or less than the normal requirements
outlined above but whose employment positions or experience
indicates an ability to benefit from the course.
Requirements for specified courses are set out in the relevant
divisional sections.
Requirements for admission to higher degrees by research
are set out in a separate Policies and Procedures handbook.
