What are graduate diploma courses?

 A graduate diploma is an advanced qualification taken after completing an undergraduate degree. There are, however, specific entry requirements that you will have to meet before you start your graduate diploma. Firstly, you will have to complete a bachelor’s degree before you start your graduate diploma, or in some cases, have at least a certain amount of work experience. A graduate diploma course will usually take about a year full-time. Graduate diplomas and graduate certificates, in general, are a great way to upskill if you want to appeal more to potential employers. No matter what you decide in the future, once you complete your graduate diploma course, it will add to your overall qualifications in the field you’re interested in.

List of disciplines that offer graduate diploma courses

  • Social sciences
  • Information technology
  • Human resources
  • Business administration
  • Aged care
  • Accounting
  • Education
  • Project management
  • Work Health and Safety
  • Veterinary Nursing
  • Management
  • Digital Media

And many more!

Where can you do graduate diploma courses?

 You don’t necessarily have to complete a course on campus. There are plenty of other study options to choose from, including online courses. Australian higher education institutions provide postgraduate study which includes graduate diplomas. Many of the short courses offered at training.com.au are graduate certificates for people who are interested in expanding their knowledge in a particular field.

What can you do with a graduate diploma?

 A graduate diploma can act as a stepping stone for your master’s degree. However, you don’t need to complete a master’s degree to get hired in your desired field. You can get a variety of jobs with a graduate diploma alone. For example, if you choose to complete a graduate diploma in psychology online, you can become a youth mental health worker or a human resources manager. A master’s degree will be required if you want to become a fully qualified psychologist, however.

To decide whether or not a graduate diploma course is the right decision, you will have to sit back and consider what you would like to do. If you’re set on a master’s degree, then you will have to complete a graduate diploma depending on your study area. Short courses are perfect if you’ve already completed a degree and you want additional qualifications to really stand out from the crowd, or if you already have a job and you feel like you need to develop your skillset a bit more.
