Postgraduate programsSome people undertake postgraduate study to upgrade skills and qualifications, others tospecialise in an area of interest, and others simply enjoy the empowerment that knowledgecan bring.Typically, postgraduate qualifications lead to the acquisition of valuable skills sought byemployers, as well as greater expertise in a chosen field. This in turn leads to increasedrespect and recognition in the workplace, greater mobility when seeking fresh employment– and, importantly, the likelihood of promotion and a better salary package.Master degrees usually require between one and two years full time study to complete.For admission to a Master degree, applicants should have completed an approved Bachelordegree or equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution. Credit for previousrelevant postgraduate study may be awarded, thus reducing the number of points requiredto complete the course.Visit www.csu.edu.au/coursesAs a postgraduate student, you will:• question your assumptions and opinions• form independent opinions while taking into account others’ ideas• gather and interpret information to support or contrast arguments• initiate investigations of advanced topics• increase your awareness and analytical skills• develop new ways of thinking and reasoning• increase your intellectual, personal and communication skills• form valuable professional networks with colleagues and academics across the globe.studycentre@csu.edu.au CSU STUDY CENTRE PROSPECTUS 2012 33
