University certificates

What is a university certificate?

When you want to empower yourself with university-level skills – without the long-term commitment of a degree – university certificates are your best move. The courses are single units lifted directly from Swinburne’s world-class degrees.

Zero in on exactly what you need to upskill or advance your career and gain the most relevant, up-to-date learning in one swift move. As a bite-sized university-level course, university certificates are a short-term achievement unto themselves and can provide credit towards a degree, too. Think of it as your way of pole-vaulting into university study and quickly nabbing a certificate while you’re there – and having the option to power through to a full degree (with 12.5cp credit points already achieved), if you find that’s what you want. The choice is yours.

What are the benefits?

Bank a resume-bolstering certificate, recognising your initiative, learning and drive. You’ll be giving your network the heads-up that you’ve gained specific and up-to-date knowledge from an internationally recognised university. 

Plus, you’ll get a taste test for a full degree course. Along with 12.5cp credit points. That means you can potentially use your university certificate as credit towards a Swinburne University degree, helping you graduate faster.
