Graduate Certificates are designed in the main for specific vocational purposes.
These are either
- the broadening of skills and knowledge already gained in an undergraduate program, or
- vocational skills and knowledge in a new professional area.
They typically follow a bachelor's degree.
Graduate Certificate courses may be a part of a continuum of studies in a specific subject area (an articulated course) offering you progression from a Graduate Certificate to a Graduate Diploma and/or from a Graduate Diploma to a Master's Degree.
