Steps to uni for postgraduate applicants
There are two main types of postgraduate study – research and coursework.
- Research requires you to undertake supervised research leading to a thesis or other piece of written material within a set period of time. Masters degrees and PhDs can be obtained by research and usually require a bachelor degree at honours level or equivalent for admission
- Coursework is composed of units of study, which usually require you to attend lectures and tutorials. Graduate certificates, graduate diplomas and masters degrees can be completed this way.
Only postgraduate coursework applications are processed through 91ÌÒÉ«. For research programs, contact the relevant institution directly.
