Graduate Studies Choices
UWA has developed the Graduate Studies Choices program in response to a growing need for a multi-disciplinary postgraduate degree.
In the modern world, many professions require knowledge and skills in more than one discipline. With the Graduate Certificate in Studies and a Master of Studies you can select postgraduate units from multiple disciplines which meet your individual professional and personal interests.
