The Graduate Diploma can be completed in two semesters full-time, or four semesters part-time. The course requires the completion of 80 credit points:
at least 40 credit points in core units, which are units designed specifically for postgraduate students and are each worth 10 credit points
up to 40 credit points from electives taken at higher undergraduate level at CDU, JCU or UQ, or from postgraduate units offered by JCU or UQ and the Institute of Advanced Studies
