What is the difference between the Graduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma and Masters?

In the first year students will undertake 3 certificate subjects (1 core and 2 specialty units) each worth 20 credit points (CP). The postgraduate diploma is designed to encourage a broader study of intensive care nursing and prepare students for higher degree studies. The diploma comprises of six units, each worth 20 or 30cp. The Masters program aims to broaden and deepen the theoretical knowledge of intensive care and provides the opportunity for students to develop knowledge and skills in research and equips them to undertake higher degrees by research. The Masters program comprises of nine units (6 which must be at a master’s level).
