University just got a little easier – save up to 82% on your fees for selected courses with a Commonwealth supported place (CSP). A CSP also means you can apply for a HECS-HELP loan to pay for your studies and defer repayment until you earn above a certain amount – meaning upskilling has never been more affordable.
A graduate certificate is the ideal qualification if you want to upskill, take the next step in your career, build on your bachelor's degree or learn something new. Many have Commonwealth supported places available, making them more affordable than many postgraduate degrees. And they are completely online – meaning you can gain a postgraduate qualification while you work.
You'll study four subjects. These will give you advanced knowledge in your area of interest – whether that's HR, IT, business, education, health or environmental science. You can choose to complete your graduate certificate full-time over 26 weeks or part-time over a year.
When you graduate with a graduate certificate, you can then apply to study a related master's degree. You'll receive credit for the subjects you completed in your certificate, meaning you can graduate from your master's sooner.
