BENEFITS OF A POSTGRADUATE DEGREE

Gain a competitive edge and stand out from the crowd with a postgraduate qualification. Increase your earning potential

Get ahead in your career

Postgraduate study is an investment in your future – the cost of study today is matched by a higher salary tomorrow. Graduates of high-earning postgraduate courses such as the MBA for example, can expect a median salary of $120 000 upon graduation.

Postgraduate study can help you up-skill and progress in your career, qualifying you for greater job opportunities. Many employers reward the professional skills and strategic thinking required to attain a postgraduate degree. Plus, if you need to gain professional accreditation, a postgraduate degree is often the fastest way to the qualification you require.

Improve job opportunities Research suggests that people with a postgraduate degree are more likely to find employment than people who have a bachelor’s degree or no degree at all. Around 90 per cent of postgraduates are employed shortly after graduation, compared to around 70 per cent of undergraduates. Source: Graduate Careers Australia.

FLEXIBLE STUDY TO FIT YOUR LIFESTYLE

Study needs to be flexible. We understand that life changes fast and it’s essential for students to find the right balance of work, life and study. Study part time or full time

Study online or on campus

Many courses offer part-time and full-time study options, as well as allowing you to switch between part-time and full-time study throughout your degree to suit your personal situation. This means if things change, you’re not locked into a mode that no longer suits you.

You can study at our Melbourne, Geelong or Warrnambool campuses or online via the Cloud Campus. Deakin offers courses both fully and partly online, allowing you to balance life’s other priorities with your studies. With online learning you can study in your own time and in any location without sacrificing the quality of your experience. Everything is available online whenever and from wherever you need it. Stream class videos while you’re on the go, contribute to discussions in forums, chat with teaching staff and peers, and access all the support you need using the latest digital tools. For more information about the Cloud Campus, see page 19.

Study over three trimesters We have three study periods during the teaching year. This gives you more choice about when to start your degree and can even enable you to fast-track your study by taking extra units throughout the year. Some students take a trimester off to work or travel, then catch up later.

POSTGRADUATE STUDY GUIDE

Our study periods are Trimester 1 (March to June), Trimester 2 (July to October) and Trimester 3 (November to February). Studying in Trimester 3 is not compulsory and not all courses offer units during this time. For information, visit deakin.edu.au/study-at-deakin/ important-dates.

Deakin Business School’s residentials allow you to complete a unit over one week. They also offer the opportunity to build professional networks and form enduring bonds with fellow participants and other managers.

POSTGRADUATE STUDY PATHWAYS

COURSEWORK OR RESEARCH? POSTGRADUATE COURSEWORK •• Courses are generally six months to two years full time. •• Expect set assessments, projects and classes, just like an undergraduate degree. •• Ideal for advancing your career or developing new skills. •• Usually requires the completion of an undergraduate degree.

POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH •• Courses are generally two to four years full time. •• Expect independent research and investigation of original ideas in an approved research program under the guidance of a supervisor. •• Ideal for making a new contribution to an academic field. •• Usually requires an undergraduate degree with honours or a master’s degree.

In general, postgraduate study falls into two broad categories – coursework and research. Research degree pathways To enrol in a research degree you usually need to have completed an undergraduate degree with honours or a master’s degree with a substantial research component. Other qualifications may be accepted if the relevant faculty or school considers them equivalent and you can demonstrate evidence of your research ability.

Coursework degree pathways To enrol in a coursework degree you usually need to have completed an undergraduate degree first. Although traditionally students complete an undergraduate degree before postgraduate study, in some cases you may be able to use your extensive professional experience to apply directly for a postgraduate coursework degree at Deakin, without having completed an undergraduate course. The tiered nature of the graduate certificate, graduate diploma and master’s degree may allow you to gain entry using a lower qualification as a stepping stone. If you’re thinking about a master’s but don’t initially qualify, you may be accepted into the graduate certificate or diploma in the same area of study. The three tiers mean that you also have the flexibility to choose your time commitment and level of course depth. If you choose to study a master’s degree but your circumstances change, you may be able to exit the degree early with the relevant graduate certificate or graduate diploma.

COURSEWORK STUDY A coursework program is perfect if you want to advance your career, or meet a professional requirement. Coursework at Deakin offers multiple study options with different time commitments. The graduate certificate, graduate diploma and master’s degree are connected and can build on each other. For example, you could complete a Graduate Certificate of Communication in six months, a Graduate Diploma of Communication by continuing to study for one year, or a Master of Communication by continuing to study for two years.

Graduate certificate Develop skills in a specialised field that might not directly relate to your undergraduate degree. Graduate certificates can sometimes be used as a direct pathway to further postgraduate study.

Graduate diploma Specialise and focus on a vocation with a graduate diploma. You usually need to have completed a bachelor’s degree or equivalent. You can also gain entry with professional or industry experience, or other relevant approved qualifications.

Master’s degree by coursework Designed to cater to professionals, these courses have the added benefit of providing an environment for networking with like-minded people. Deakin offers the Master of Science, which, through a unique combination of coursework and research, provides an ideal pathway between undergraduate study and a doctoral degree.

Professional practice

POSTGRADUATE STUDY GUIDE

Deakin offers a professional practice credentialing service that can be completed online. This service independently measures your professional skills and abilities, recognising the work experience you have accumulated without formal university credentials. As part of the process you provide evidence of your capabilities and are then interviewed by an expert panel from your industry. If you’re successful you’ll be awarded a Deakin professional practice credential. To find out more, visit deakindigital.com.

THE BENEFITS OF AN HONOURS DEGREE If you did not complete an honours year as an undergraduate, there are many benefits of doing so. Honours is a specialised year of study enabling you to develop an in-depth understanding of a particular discipline through research, allowing you to focus on what you’re really passionate about. Consider an honours year if you value intellectual challenge and independent thinking, plus it’s a pathway to postgraduate research degrees and increased career opportunities. At Deakin you gain honours in one of two ways: In-course honours award This type of honours award recognises outstanding achievement in a bachelor’s degree program of four or more years, which has an embedded honours component. Research-based honours award This type of honours award allows you to undertake specialised research and research training on a course that allows an additional year of study.

FUNDING YOUR POSTGRADUATE STUDY

There are many options to help you manage the cost of study, which are matched by the rewards of career advancement, higher salaries and greater job satisfaction. What is the postgraduate course fee?

Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP)

Tuition fees are based on the course you enrol in. You can find course, unit and fee information using the course search tool at deakin.edu.au/study-at-deakin/ find-a-course.

Some postgraduate courses at Deakin offer CSP, where the Government pays a proportion of tuition costs. CSP fees are indicative because they are calculated based on your unit selection. Indicative CSP course fees for 2017 will be available in late 2016 – please visit deakin.edu.au/ study-at-deakin/find-a-course for the most up-to-date information.

There are two types of fees: Fee-Paying Place and Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP).

Fee-Paying Place Fee-paying place is a place that is not subsidised by the Government, so you pay the full cost of the course. As a domestic fee-paying student you may be eligible to defer payment of your fees through the Australian taxation system’s FEE-HELP loan program. Your employer may also consider assisting with the cost of study if the course is related to your current position. Annual course fees for FPPs in 2017 are based on the course fee and annual study load, regardless of your unit selection.

Deferring fee payment FEE-HELP is a government loan program that helps you defer all or part of your tuition fees – for full fee-paying places. The fee is indexed annually to maintain its real value in line with changes to the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). If you are enrolled in a CSP you may be eligible to defer all or part of your tuition fees through HECS-HELP – the Higher Education Contribution Scheme-Higher Education Loan Program.

POSTGRADUATE STUDY GUIDE

When do I start repaying my loan? You repay your loan through the Australian taxation system once your income is above the minimum threshold for compulsory repayment (2016/17 threshold is $54 869). FEE-HELP debts are added to any existing HELP debts to form a single HELP debt with the Commonwealth.

15

DEAKIN UNIVERSITY

AM I ELIGIBLE FOR FEE-HELP? You are eligible for FEE-HELP assistance if you: •• are enrolled in a fee-paying postgraduate coursework program (not research) •• are not a Commonwealth supported student •• are an Australian citizen who will undertake at least one unit of study contributing to your course of study, while living in Australia, the holder of a permanent humanitarian visa, or an eligible New Zealander who is resident in Australia for the duration of your unit •• meet the Tax File Number (TFN) requirements •• have not exceeded the maximum indexed FEE-HELP limit amount.



DO I PAY FEES FOR A RESEARCH DEGREE? If you’re an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or a New Zealand citizen you don’t pay any tuition fees for the normal duration of your research degree candidature, i.e. up to a maximum of four years of full-time equivalent study for a doctoral candidate and two years of full-time equivalent study for a master’s candidate.

For 2016, the FEE‑HELP limit is $99 389 for most students. For students undertaking medicine, dentistry and veterinary science courses (as defined in the Higher Education Support Act 2003) the FEE‑HELP limit is $124 238. HELP repayments are made through the online taxation system once your annual income reaches the minimum threshold for repayment. Alternatively, eligible students may pay their contribution upfront.

Applying for a scholarship We offer scholarships to help support you financially during your studies. Information about scholarships at Deakin is available at deakin.edu.au/study-atdeakin/scholarships-and-awards. You can also visit the Study Assist website www.studyassist.gov.au for links to a range of scholarships relevant to postgraduate study, including Australian postgraduate awards. Many industry and community scholarships are also available.

If you’re undertaking a professionally oriented coursework master’s degree that is required for entry to a profession or is the fastest pathway to professional entry, you may be eligible for student income support. For more information, visit deakin.edu.au/study-at-deakin/fees.

When you enrol in a postgraduate course you may be entitled to an income tax deduction for your course fees and study-related expenses. You may be able to claim for your course fees, textbooks, stationery, student association fees and depreciation on equipment, for example your computer, or some of your travel expenses between home and university or between work and university. For more information about study and tax arrangements, please speak with your accountant or tax adviser or visit the ATO website www.ato.gov.au.

Cost-sharing with employers Some employers offer financial and other support, such as study leave, for staff members who are completing study that is directly related to their employment and the employer’s core business. At Deakin, many people are studying a postgraduate course with their employer’s help.

•• a summary of the short-term and long-term benefits that would flow to you and your employer •• an estimate of the total course costs of fees, textbooks and other materials •• an estimate of the time you would be required to be away from work in order to attend classes and exams, prepare reports and so on •• what assistance you are requesting for aspects, such as sharing of costs and granting of time off work.

What if I’m an international student?

Entry to Higher Degree by Research candidature is normally granted on the basis of a bachelor’s degree with honours (that is, a four-year degree where the final year includes advanced studies in the discipline, research methodology training and a research thesis) or a master’s degree with a substantial research component, in a field of study related to the subject of the proposed research. It is expected that a candidate for a doctoral program will have achieved the standard of at least second class honours (upper division), and that a candidate for a master’s degree will have achieved the standard of second class honours. Other qualifications and experience may be considered for entry if the Higher Degrees by Research Committee accepts them as equivalent to those above. Where entry is sought based on alternative qualifications, a key requirement is that there has been some research activity leading to a thesis or equivalent publications. The HDR Committee looks for evidence of research potential and demonstrated ability to produce a significant report – two qualities which will be essential for successful candidature.
