We provide practical, theoretical and conceptual skills to prepare you for success. Whether you’re just starting out or moving into a leadership role, by the time you graduate you’ll have the knowledge and skills you need.

Sherwin can’t count the times when something would pop up at work and he’d think, ‘I know this, we just covered this in class yesterday’. He readily admits that, without completing a double master degree, he wouldn’t have progressed this far at such a young age. He’s currently the Head of Experience Design at Ippon Technologies, a multinational IT consulting firm.

Postgraduate study can help you stand out in a competitive job market, gain specialised skills and achieve your career goals sooner. It can also provide the opportunity to deeply explore an area of study or research in which you can really make your mark.

Our postgraduate offerings range from graduate certificates and diplomas to master degrees by research or coursework as well as doctorates. Several of our programs are structured as nested suites, meaning you can undertake a graduate certificate first, continue into a diploma and then go on to a master – with the option to exit with a qualification at any one of these points.

Our courses

Graduate certificates and diplomas

A graduate certificate or diploma can provide specialised skills, allow you to explore a personal interest area and can enhance your career options. They can also be a great way to test an area of study before committing to a full master degree. Additionally, you may consider this as a pathway into a master – successful completion could see you meeting the master entry requirements that you didn’t previously meet.

Master by coursework

Our postgraduate programs have a career-focused curriculum. Taught by academics who are engaged with industry in the areas they teach, our courses equip you with the skills and knowledge required to succeed in your chosen field.

Double master

Double master degrees are a great way to broaden your study experience and are highly respected by employers. They combine two areas of study and, on completion, you’ll be awarded two degrees. Look out for our Global Leadership Program, which offers two postgraduate qualifications from two leading universities – both Swinburne and Northeastern University in Boston, USA.

Professional master

A professional master is a great option, particularly if you’re moving directly from undergraduate into postgraduate study. These degrees are designed to help you transition smoothly from the classroom to the workplace and aim to enhance graduate employability both in Australia and internationally.

Advanced master

Advanced master degrees are designed to help you develop specialised knowledge and research skills. Students interested in exploring research techniques or pursuing a PhD or research career should consider these programs.

Higher degrees by research

Swinburne’s research degrees allow you to plan, conduct and manage a substantial research project. As part of your course, you will engage in critical thinking and develop knowledge of ethical practice, intellectual property and commercialisation. Our research degrees give you access to specialist facilities, world-class researchers, training and support. For more, visit swinburne.edu.au/research/research-degrees
