Online graduate study is all about providing more opportunities for professionals to access courses that fit their long-term plans. This is why Monash is committed to delivering more high-quality graduate study options in the online space.
We understand that people – especially mid-career professionals – often have the desire to study, but aren’t able to take much time off work. It’s a practical problem that demands a practical solution.
By breaking the traditional boundaries of on-campus education, you’ll attain a world-class degree from Monash University while you continue to balance professional work and your other commitments, no matter where you are in Australia.
The unparalleled flexibility of online study
Online study has undoubtedly made further education more accessible than ever before. Professionals no longer have to decide between their family, career and education. Now, anyone in Australia can study at their own pace and in the comfort of their own home.
We know that postgraduate study is an investment in your career, leading to stronger employment outcomes and higher salaries, so the first decision you will have to make is what course you’re looking for, and which university is going to provide you with the experience you need to take your next career step with confidence.
Exploring your options
Graduate study is an opportunity to extend your education and take the next step in your career, or even to explore a new field of professional knowledge altogether. Online graduate study through Monash can help you do both. You might be an ICT professional, for instance, with a growing desire to specialise in the emerging field of analytics, in which case a Graduate Certificate of Analytics or Master of Analytics would be the perfect fit – allowing you to upskill while you continue to work. Alternatively, you might be seeking to transition into a career as a psychologist, in which case Monash’s fully online and accredited Graduate Diploma in Psychology will help you take that all-important first step.
With this in mind, a little research at the outset can go a long way, and help make your education ambitions a reality. With so many online study options available, it’s important to tailor your research to your situation.
When researching the qualification that suits you best, consider the following:
- What are your goals?
- Are you planning to upskill in your current industry, or transition into another field or specialisation?
- What are the skills you currently have?
- What skills would you like to have?
- Which industry best suits your skillset?
