A.
Swinburne University has worked with the Federal Government to provide short, focused online courses to workers displaced by the COVID-19 crisis. These courses have been significantly discounted to allow you to complete study during the next 6 months and support your future employment opportunities.
A.
Your discounted fee will be applied at the time of enrolment.
A.
Yes, students can defer their payment though a HECS-HELP loan.
A.
If you enrol in the Graduate Certificate, you can choose to complete your studies after the first two units and exit with a University-accredited Professional Certificate.
A.
Professional Certificates are generally the first two units of a Graduate or Undergraduate Certificate and provide you with solid introductory knowledge, as well as contributing to the higher degree should you wish to continue studying later. Professional Certificates are a good way of upskilling quickly and providing you with an opportunity to start your education journey at a discounted fee.
A.
Not exactly. The federal government is providing discounts for students who are enrolled in qualifications recognised by the Australian Qualification Framework. This means, to ensure you receive the discounted course fee, you need to enrol in at least a graduate certificate level qualification. If you only complete the first two units, Swinburne is ensuring that you still receive a qualification by awarding you a professional certificate.
A.
You can.  If you wish to continue studying the course after 1 December 2020, you will be eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place for the rest of your studies.
