Graduate Certificate in Science and Technology
The Graduate Certificate in Science and Technology is used primarily as a ‘pathway’ to help you complete subjects you need to enter a postgraduate qualification. This means you can go on to study the postgraduate area you are interested in, without completing a second bachelor’s degree.
This Graduate Certificate also helps you to update your knowledge and skills in an area similar to that in which you graduated (or work in).
Enter with industry experience
If you have substantial industry experience at a senior level this will be considered towards your application. This is on a case-by-case basis.
Flexibility
Some of the courses in the Graduate Certificate in Science and Technology can be studied by distance (online). This gives you the flexibility to work study around jobs and other commitments.
Use your credits toward a degree
After you graduate, you may have courses passed under the Graduate Certificate programme credited to a bachelor’s degree, provided the courses comply with the regulations of the degree in question.
