1What it is
A university programme after the bachelor's degree, shorter than a master's and closer to professional practice than to research. It is taken as a route to specialist qualification (special education, counselling, translation, business administration and the like), and some employers accept it for promotion.
2Who it suits
Bachelor's graduates who want a specialist qualification without committing to a thesis.
3What it requires
A bachelor's degree with a grade set by the university; a language test or interview may be required.
4How it is earned
Apply through the university's graduate studies portal; dates follow the two admission terms.
