Course structure

The Master degree, Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate make up an articulated set of courses. Credit is given in each higher level course for the subjects completed in the lower level course.

Graduate Certificate

All subjects comprising the 32 points must be drawn from Level 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 subjects offered by the Faculty of Science.

Graduate Diploma

All subjects comprising the 64 points must be drawn from Level 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 subjects offered by the Faculty of Science. The total number of points completed at Levels 1, 2 or 3 may not exceed 32.

Master degree

All subjects comprising the first 64 points of the course must be selected as set out in the Graduate Diploma requirements above. Students then complete two subjects and electives equivalent to 40 points, chosen from postgraduate subjects offered by the Faculty of Science, with a maximum of 16 points of these to be completed at Level 4 and the remainder at Level 5. Students may choose Level 5 Special Topic subjects or may, with the permission of the Course Coordinator, choose subjects from other Faculties.

Most subjects of one session duration have a value of eight points.

An indicative course structure and enrolment pattern for the Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Master degree are available in the CSU Handbook
