Postgraduate study at UNE
What is postgraduate study? Postgraduate study involves either coursework or research and is usually undertaken after you’ve completed a bachelor’s degree.
Further education has long been the key to coping with change and turning challenges into opportunities. If recent events have taught us anything, it’s that unforeseeable events can dramatically change the way we live and work. Major disruption can come from any direction, any time. So, you have to wonder - what’s around the corner?
Now, more than ever, UNE’s experience as an online university can help adults like you respond to disruption, new technology, changes at work, and new possibilities. It makes sense to trust a university that has a 70-year history of helping adults like you become future-fit while they study at home. We provide unparalleled support, resources and study options that have led to us becoming the only Australian public university awarded 5 stars for Overall Experience 18 years in a row.
Partner with a university that knows how to help you respond to a rapidly changing world. Apply for postgraduate study with UNE and future fit your life.

Most postgraduate coursework degrees at UNE have both Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) and Full Fee paying places available, though CSP places are subject to availability each year.
Full Fee paying places cover the full cost of courses, and students studying in Full Fee places are eligible for a Government loan called FEE-HELP. Full fee paying fees will vary for each course, but are the same, no matter whether courses are studied on campus or by distance education.
Learn more about full fee-paying places and FEE-HELP.
