Aim

The program is designed to provide experience in executing research projects and continuing education in areas relevant to the specific professional interests of graduate students.

Entry requirements

A completed Bachelor degree in a related discipline from at a recognised higher education institution or equivalent qualification; or a completed Graduate Diploma in a related discipline from a recognised higher education institution.

For international applicants for whom English is a second language, the minimum English language requirements are:
