Graduate Certificate
A graduate certificate is the first stage of postgraduate study and takes around eight months to complete online, studying part-time. Graduate certificates are a great way to ease into postgraduate study, be introduced to the core concepts of a particular topic and explore what works best for you.
Graduate Diploma
A graduate diploma is the second stage of postgraduate study. You can complete them in around 16 months online, studying part-time, or less if you’ve already studied a graduate certificate. Graduate diplomas will give you the additional time to deepen your knowledge and establish a stronger understanding of your chosen study area.
Juris Doctor
A Juris Doctor (JD) is a postgraduate law degree that gives you the knowledge and expertise to practice law. It's designed for people who have a degree in a field other than law. The JD program will teach you legal fundamentals, advanced advocacy skills and problem-solving strategies. It's internationally recognised as a master's degree, making it a highly valued qualification. This 24-unit program can be completed in three years if fast-tracked or four years part-time. It includes a Graduate Certificate in Legal Studies and a Graduate Diploma in Legal Studies.
