Graduate Certificate of Studies
The Graduate Certificate of Studies is a flexible option for graduate studies at ANU for students whose needs are not met by following a program of study in a single academic discipline. Subject to meeting course entry requirements, you will be able to select courses from across the graduate course offerings available, allowing you to structure your studies and direct your learning in a way that meets your academic, personal and professional interests and enables you to develop skills and expertise in a range of learning areas, for example, a combination of courses in art history, environmental science, and management. Apply now for the Semester 1, 2025 intake! Domestic applications close on 7th February 2025.
Our scholarship programs are designed to support students from diverse backgrounds and abilities, and we automatically consider applicants for some of them upon application.
Our Graduate certificates are 1 semester (0.5 year) long full time and part time duration varies depending on how many courses are available each semester.
