Applying for a Course or Institute

Graduate

A graduate degree will take typically three years to complete and a further year of study will lead to a degree with Honors. However, not every degree follows this 3+1 pattern; there are some four-year degrees (which may or may not be awarded Honors), and some specialist graduate programs which take longer to complete.

An Undergraduate or Graduate program can cost anywhere between 15,000 and 33, 000 AUD approximately per year.

Post Graduate

A graduate program may be followed by a Post Graduate one. A candidate who does not hold an Honors degree may be awarded a Post Graduate degree with honors; such a degree usually involves two years of study, compared to one year for a Post Graduate, for a candidate who does have an Honors degree. A candidate who has either a Post Graduate or a bachelor degree with Honors may proceed to a doctoral degree which is both prestigious and holds excellent career outcomes
