Articulation to Other Awards

The Graduate Certificate is a stand-alone award, however it can also qualify students for the Graduate Diploma of Arts (AQF 8) or Master of Arts (AQF 9), should they wish to further their studies. Thus, the Graduate Certificate articulates directly into either the Graduate Diploma of Arts or Master of Arts. Upon completion of either of these further awards the student is required to surrender their Graduate Certificate of Arts.
