Postgraduate Courses

A postgraduate degree encompasses several qualifications where an undergraduate degree is essential for entry; a postgraduate course is commonly chosen to either move into academia as a research degree or for specialisation/professional development in a career pathway.

This form of higher education found in many study areas, but a postgraduate qualification is no easy feat and has high entry requirements and tuition fees. However, student stories from this type of further study demonstrated that this qualification is a rewarding process and offers an opportunity for industry connections.

In New Zealand, postgraduate qualifications come under Level 8 in the government framework. Level 8 includes Postgraduate Certificates, Postgraduate Diplomas and Bachelor’s Honours degrees where you must show an advanced understanding in your postgraduate coursework of choice.

Furthermore, there is the option to pursue Level 9, a Master’s degree and even Level 10 a Doctoral degree. These higher degrees are for those who genuinely want to conduct research programs and commit to a specialisation in their field of choice.

Postgraduate Certificates:

Designed to extend individuals theoretical and practical knowledge. It recognises continuing professional development from a Bachelors degree in the same area. Entry requirements include a Bachelors Degree, Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma, however previous work experience in the appropriate field is also accepted. 

Postgraduate Diplomas:

Similarly to a Postgraduate Certificate, a Diploma is designed to expand upon previous knowledge but in a principal subject of the qualifying degree. It also prepares an individual for an independent research program if they choose to continue further study. This type of degree can be awarded a Distinction and has the same entry requirements as a Postgraduate Certificate.

Bachelor’s Honours Degrees:

This degree recognises distinguished study at Level 8; it may be undergone following a Bachelor degree or as a degree itself. The award of honours recognises three levels of achievement through first-class honours, second class honours and third-class honours. The entry requirement into this type of postgraduate research and study is determined by an above-average performance in the Bachelor degree.
