REFERENCE GUIDE

Seven years of competitive skydiving taught Nicole to be fearless. That served her well when she started Universal Village, a Fairtrade grocery enterprise. The Master in Entrepreneurship and Innovation then taught her to zoom out from the day‑to‑day detail and to think about her business strategically.

Today, her brand, Qi Tea, turns over $1.5 million a year.

REACH YOUR GOALSAt Swinburne, our postgraduate programs provide training for every stage of your career.

We provide practical, theoretical and conceptual skills to prepare you for success. Whether you’re just starting out or moving into a leadership role, by the time you graduate you’ll have the knowledge and skills you need.

It’s just a matter of choosing the qualification that suits the future you can picture.

WHY SWINBURNE?FLEXIBLE STUDY OPTIONS

You want study that fits into your life. That’s why we offer a range of options. Many lectures and tutorials are held in the evenings or weekends, making them accessible to those who work full-time. You may also be able to study through distance learning, or choose online or part-time study. Some units are offered in intensive mode, which means you’ll cover large amounts of course content in bulk by attending seminars over a few days each month. It’s a great way to finish your course and get your qualifications sooner.

STATE-OF-THE-ART CAMPUS AND FACILITIES

Postgraduate study can help you stand out in a competitive job market, gain specialised skills and achieve your career goals sooner. It can also provide the opportunity to deeply explore an area of study or research in which you can really make your mark.

Our postgraduate offerings range from graduate certificates and diplomas to master degrees by research or coursework as well as doctorates. Several of our programs are structured as nested suites, meaning you can undertake a graduate certificate first, continue into a diploma and then go on to a master – with the option to exit with a qualification at any one of these points.

GRADUATE CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS

A graduate certificate or diploma can provide specialised skills, allow you to explore a personal interest area and can enhance your career options. They can also be a great way to test an area of study before committing to a full master degree. Additionally, you may consider this as a pathway into a master – successful completion could see you meeting the master entry requirements that you didn’t previously meet.

MASTER BY COURSEWORK

Our postgraduate programs have a career-focused curriculum. Taught by academics who are engaged with industry in the areas they teach, our courses equip you with the skills and knowledge required to succeed in your chosen field.

DOUBLE MASTER

Double master degrees are a great way to broaden your study experience and are highly respected by employers. They combine two areas of study and, on completion, you’ll be awarded two degrees.

ADVANCED MASTER

Advanced master degrees are great for those interested in advancing their knowledge and research skills. You have two choices – take additional coursework electives that prepare you for leadership roles and navigate organisational change. Or, gain specialised knowledge by defining your own research project and writing a thesis; this lays the groundwork for any plans you may have for pursuing a PhD later on.

HIGHER DEGREES BY RESEARCH

Swinburne’s research degrees allow you to plan, conduct and manage a substantial research project. As part of your course, you will engage in critical thinking and develop knowledge of ethical practice, intellectual property and commercialisation. Our research degrees give you access to specialist facilities, world-class researchers, training and support. For more, visit swinburne.edu.au/research/research-degrees
