The System of Awards

The System of Awards
The system of awards is generally analogous to the systems of many universities of European countries and USA:

- Associate Degree – 2 years
- Bachelor Degree – 3 to 4 years
- Graduate Certificate – 6 months
- Graduate Diploma – 12 months
- Masters Degree – 1 to 2 years
- Doctoral Degree – 3 to 5 years

Universities also propose Vocational Graduate Certificates, which engage the development of exact professional knowledge and abilities.

Qualifications are accredited under the Australian Qualifications Framework, which is supervised by the Australian Government. This makes transferance among courses and institutions easier, and also makes sure a certain standard for every qualification.

The Australian government takes an active interest in attracting international graduate students and ensures that institutions supply education to international students to meet nationally reliable standards in education release, facilities and services.
