How to apply for postgraduate study
Most postgraduate applications are made through the South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC).
Many of our postgraduate courses are nested, meaning you have flexible entry and exit points. So if you enrol in a Masters and do not complete it – but do complete the nested Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma – you may exit with that qualification.
You may also be eligible for credit towards your course depending on your prior skills, experience and study.
If you want to further your career or change direction let our diverse range of postgraduate courses help you open new doors to realise your potential.

Hear from our students
I have no doubt that I would not be in the position that I currently am without having participated and now completing masters study. I am part of a very exciting opportunity, redesigning how we deliver health care and leading staff at the Royal Adelaide Hospital to move into what will be the most state of the art hospital in Australia. This is certainly a once in a generational opportunity.
I chose to study occupational therapy because it involves what I value in a career: a background in human science, a holistic perspective of health, and practical ways to help people engage in everyday life. Studying the Bachelor of Health Sciences/Master of Occupational Therapy offers the perfect combination of subjects to explore various areas of health, while preparing you to understand and develop clinical skills.
Studying public health at Flinders has shown me the importance of social determinants of health and health equity. My PhD is on the implementation of the ‘Closing the Gap’ strategy in early childhood. It is both exciting and challenging to learn from, and alongside, world leading public health academics and advocates.
