Apply for a postgraduate course

Many of our postgraduate courses are nested, meaning 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.

Entry requirements

Most graduate entry bachelor degrees, graduate certificates and graduate diplomas require a three-year undergraduate degree from an Australian university or equivalent. There are also minimum entry requirements for each course.

How to apply

Applications are via the South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC). Before applying, check that you meet the entry requirements.

Note: Master of Psychology (Clinical) and Doctor of Medicine have separate application processes.

When to apply

Postgraduate admission dates are course-specific. Use SATAC’s course search to check individual course entries for information on important dates. You will find information on commencement date options, relevant closing date(s) for applications, and the timing of offers.

Fees and scholarships

Postgraduate coursework courses are either Commonwealth supported or fee paying. Specific information for fees is available on the course information pages.

Other costs may include textbooks, uniforms for clinical placement, fieldwork expenses, and student services and amenities fee calculated on your study load.

You may be eligible for a scholarship. Email askflinders@flinders.edu.au for more information about scholarships.
