Consider your pathway options

Postgraduate coursework

If you need help meeting the entry requirements for your preferred program, we offer a range of pathways.

If you don't meet the entry requirements for your preferred program, consider the following pathway options:

If you need advice on which pathway best suits your goals, contact us.

Program suites

Many coursework programs are offered in 'suites', which begin at graduate certificate level and progress to master's level or beyond.

If you don’t meet the entry requirements for your preferred program, you may be able to apply for a lower-level program in the same suite and use it as a pathway to your preferred program.

If you begin with a graduate certificate or graduate diploma and meet the required GPA, you can then progress on to the master's by coursework in the same suite. For some master's programs, it may be possible to complete your degree in a shorter time depending on your qualifications and experience. You'll graduate with the same qualification no matter how long you take to complete the degree.

Program suites provide flexible entry and exit points, and allow you to start with the fundamentals and build on each qualification as you go.

MicroMasters programs

Our MicroMasters® programs are a series of online postgraduate courses that offer high-value, intensive learning in specific fields.

They can also provide a pathway to a UQ postgraduate coursework program. After completing a MicroMasters program you may be eligible to receive credit toward your chosen UQ program.
