Standard entry requirements

It is anticipated that the program will attract interest from students from a range of different undergraduate backgrounds including, but not limited to Economics, Geography and Social Policy, Political Science and Engineering. An undergraduate degree with at least a credit average in a relevant discipline is required. A relevant degree would encompass studies in a built environment discipline as well as subjects in social science, social policy, business and law. Students enrolling in this program will be working full time or will have worked full time since graduating including work in an urban, regional or related professional role. Both local and international students are eligible to apply. All students completing the Graduate Certificate will have the opportunity to take their Graduate Certificate credits and continue their studies towards a diploma or a full Masters in any one of the contributing Masters subject to meeting any specific entry requirements of that program. Students may be able to secure professional development credits from their Professional Institutes, depending on the course, and accumulate four units that together will give them a Graduate Certificate. The Faculty is negotiating with the various Professional Institutes to secure their agreement to grant PD credits to each course.

Study pathways
