Postgraduate Pathways

A Postgraduate Certificate offers students the opportunity to gain an accredited qualification at Level 9, which can provide a pathway to further opportunities at Postgraduate Diploma or Masters level. Many of ATU’s Postgraduate Certificates are listed alongside additional award options.

A Higher Diploma is a postgraduate qualification at Level 8, typically offered as one academic year of study upon successful completing of an undergraduate degree. Higher Diplomas may offer students a conversion pathway into a new career or discipline area.
