Study options for professional development
Our undergraduate study options involve taking courses across 100-300 level. Our Certificate of Proficiency is the most flexible option. It allows standalone study of an approved course or courses which may later be credited to a qualification. Alternatively the Certificate in Arts consists of 60 points of study completed in six months full time, or up to two years part time.
Our postgraduate study options involve taking advanced courses 400 level and above. These can be studied in a Postgraduate Certificate in Arts consisting of 60 points of study in six months full time, or up to two years part time, or our Postgraduate Diploma in Arts consisting of 120 points and one year full time or up to four years part time. There are many more qualification options at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
