Graduate Diploma in Criminal Justice

The Graduate Diploma requires the equivalent of half a year of full time study. In order to qualify for the Graduate Diploma, a candidate must complete 24 points of study.

Study of units ‘not-for-degree’

It is possible to study Criminal Justice units on a not-for-degree basis.  This option is open to students who wish to study particular units but who do not wish to complete the requirements of a degree course.

Not-for-degree enrolment can take one of two forms.   The first involves payment of the normal fee ($2050 in 2008).  Under this form of enrolment, students are entitled to use the library and other University Faculties.   They complete the normal assessment requirements and, if successful, receive a formal University statement to this effect.  Please note that only one semester unit equivalent to 6pts can be credited to the Master of Criminal Justice degree where units have been studied on a 'not-for-degree' basis.

The second form of 'not-for-degree' enrolment is on an 'auditing' basis.  A reduced fee applies to this form of enrolment to reflect the fact that auditing students do not undertake assessment and do not qualify for library access.  This form of enrolment is particularly useful for students who wish, out of interest, to study a unit but do not wish to undertake assessment.  Credit towards a degree cannot be given for units undertaken on this basis.

Please contact us if you wish to enrol on this basis and we will advise you further on appropriate procedures.
