The Graduate Certificate in Research (GCR) equips you with advanced research skills applicable across various disciplines. Designed for professionals across industries, government, and community sectors, the program's curriculum can be customized to align with your current work environment and research interests.
If you're considering a research-based master's or doctoral program but don't meet the AQF Level 9 or 10 admission criteria, the GCR serves as an ideal pathway. Successful completion with a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 6 qualifies you for master's by research programs, while doctoral admission depends on meeting both GPA and qualification prerequisites.
The GCR offers a flexible learning experience, enabling professionals to develop specialized research capabilities relevant to their field. Whether you're seeking entry into academic research or aiming to enhance your professional skillset, this program provides valuable training.
Throughout the course, you'll develop a comprehensive research portfolio over a minimum six-month full-time period (or equivalent part-time duration).
