When it comes to one-year postgraduate degrees, most people are probably most familiar with the UK’s Master’s programmes — many students choose to study in the UK after graduation because they can earn a Master’s qualification in a short time. What you might not know is thatmany Australian universities, including the Group of Eight (Go8),also offer1-year postgraduate programmes, covering popular fields such asbusiness and ITand more.
Australia’s 1-year Master’s programmes are more compact and more specialised, and enrolling in these programmes lets yousave significantly on living costs and tuition fees, while also earninga worldtop-100-ranked qualification.
Who is suited to
a 1-year postgraduate programme
1. Those who already have work experience
Some students have actually already worked for a while after completing their bachelor’s degree or a postgraduate degree in China, but want to gain a higher qualification or improve themselves through further study. If that’s you, a 1-year postgraduate programme is a great fit.You only need to set aside a year to gain a higher qualification, without stepping away from work for too long
2. Those with a limited study-abroad budget
Taking Australian tuition fees as an example,a 1-year Master’s degree typically costs around AUD 40,000, roughly RMB 200,000.Compared with a Master’s in the US or Europe, which can easily run into the millions of RMB and at minimum several hundred thousand, tuition for a 1-year Master’s is much lower,and because the programme is shorter, living costs are correspondingly much lower too.At the same time, Australia’s higher education student visaalso comes with work rights,which is a real bonus for budget-conscious applicants.
3. Students wanting to meet the eligibility requirements for a PSW application through a higher-education course
As most people know, after graduating from higher education in Australia there’s an opportunity to apply for a 2-year PSW work visa, but students need to have completed 2 years of study. Some students’ first qualification might only run 1.5 years due to credit exemptions or course structure, which doesn’t meet the eligibility requirement — so a 1-year Master’s gives these applicants a new option.With just one extra year, you meet the visa application requirements while also gaining an additional higher qualification — truly the best of both worlds.
