Postgraduate Options

Postgraduate study is an increasingly popular option for many graduates. Approximately 30 per cent of graduates go on to further study, whether part-time or full-time, research or coursework. If you are contemplating postgraduate study this section provides useful information about postgraduate options in different disciplines.

Design

The field of design is very varied. The term can apply to such professionals as industrial designers, who operate in almost an engineering capacity, to graphic designers, who operate in the artistic side of marketing. The courses are likewise very varied, and so a good deal of research is needed to make sure your choice is geared towards your particular strengths. The more diverse courses tend to be found at the smaller universities, in particular those that may also have a TAFE wing, so don’t be afraid to shy away from the more established institutions. Entry requirements will differ, but may involve a folio component.

Depending on which area interests you, you may like to browse the Engineering or Creative & Performing Arts.
