Fee Savings for Postgrad Courses

If you've been thinking of upskilling in your current field or enhancing your employment prospects, now is the perfect time to apply for a subsidised postgraduate certificate at CQU.

A range of our graduate certificates offers Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) to eligible students. You’ll pay a student contribution rather than full postgrad tuition fees if you meet CSP eligibility criteria. This means you can enjoy significant fee savings benefiting from heavily subsidised postgraduate fees.

The subsidised graduate certificates align with high-demand areas identified nationally as part of the Australian Government’s Job Ready Graduates Package initiative, allowing you to gain an in-demand, postgraduate degree at a reduced price.
