Each discipline has responded to the need for specialist education for graduates, and a number of postgraduate coursework programs are offered for this purpose. Those offered by a specific discipline require an initial primary qualification in that discipline. For School postgraduate programs in Applied Health Science, a wider range of qualifications relevant to the health field confer eligibility for entry. All coursework programs are offered on a full fee basis.

The Graduate Certificate will require the equivalent of one semester of full-time study. For candidates needing to complete preliminary study prior to further higher degree study, the Graduate Certificate may be used in part or full for this purpose.
