The top-ranked Australian universities for postgraduate study in 2022

The 2022 edition of our Australian university ratings are now live! If you’re in the process of selecting a uni for postgraduate study, these ratings can help you get to know your options. No two universities are the same, so choosing the right one for you can be tricky.

Finding the right university and course for you comes down to doing plenty of research. Types of postgraduate degrees include:

  • Graduate certificates (or postgraduate certificates)

  • Graduate diplomas (or postgraduate diplomas)

  • Masters degrees

  • Doctoral degrees

These ratings are created using a combination of resources provided by the Department of Education, Skills & Employment, as well as graduate and student experience surveys in Australia.

Five-star universities in Australia for postgraduate study

The ‘overall experience’ rating looks at the proportion of students who were satisfied with the overall quality of their educational experience. A five-star rating means the university has fallen in the top 20% of all universities for this rating.

Here are the Australian universities that received a five-star rating for overall experience in postgraduate study:

  • Bond University

  • Murdoch University

  • University of Newcastle

  • Charles Sturt University

  • Edith Cowan University

  • Southern Cross University

  • Griffith University

  • University of Southern Queensland

  • The University of Notre Dame Australia

  • University of New England

Our postgraduate ratings provide insights across a range of 8 indicators, which are grouped into two categories: The Student Experience and Graduate Outcomes.

The tables below summarise each ranking type, along with the top university in each. Note that these rankings are simply indicators that you can use to identify and shortlist the right universities to suit your own needs, preferences and circumstances.
