Flinders University offers a range of postgraduate courses to help people realise their full potential by excelling in their careers, or changing careers.

Many of the University’s postgraduate courses are nested, meaning there are flexible entry and exit points. For example, those who enrol in a Masters and do not complete it – but do complete the nested Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma – may exit with that qualification.

The university is also world-leader in remote area education, in particular through the Northern Territory Medical Program, which allows students to complete a Doctor of Medicine in Darwin, supported by facilities in Alice Springs, Katherine and Nhulunbuy.

With over 90 online postgraduate courses to choose from, students enjoy flexibility at Flinders University to study at the pace and place that suits their lifestyle. Students may be eligible for credit towards their course depending on prior skills, experience and study.

Flinders University is ranked number one in South Australia for postgraduate fulltime employment and overall quality of education experience (The Good Universities Guide 2020, public SA-founded universities only).
