Postgraduate unit Courses

What is a postgraduate unit?

A postgraduate unit is a single subject from a full postgraduate qualification, such as a Graduate Certificate or Master’s degree. It’s perfect if you want to try postgraduate study before committing to a full course. Explore postgraduate units here.

Can I study just one postgraduate unit?

Yes! Many universities and institutions let you enrol in standalone units to build skills, upskill quickly, or test a new area of study. These are often credited if you later enrol in the full program.

Do I need a degree to take a postgraduate unit?

Not always. Some providers allow you to enrol based on relevant work experience or previous study. Confirm requirements with your provider or check StudyAssist.gov.au.

Can I study a postgraduate unit online?

Absolutely. Many postgraduate units are delivered online for maximum flexibility. Find flexible study options here.

Will I get a qualification from a single unit?

You’ll typically receive a Statement of Attainment, which is formal recognition of the unit completed. These can be stacked toward a full qualification later. Learn more at training.gov.au.
