Graduate options

If you miss out on gaining entry into your desired course, you can always study another degree now and then specialise in your preferred area later. The University offers a wide range of professional graduate qualifications.

To undertake a graduate qualification, students must generally complete a first (undergraduate) degree before going on to study one of the graduate or postgraduate programs offered in each of our faculties.

Examples of graduate qualifications offered at Sydney include: medicine; dentistry; urban planning; and law.

Postgraduate qualifications can be undertaken in all of our faculties, with popular programs including pharmacy, nursing, teaching, health sciences and commerce.

For example, if you wanted to study Arts/Law but missed out on the desired UAI (99.55 in 2006), you could enrol in an Arts degree (83.00 in 2006). At the completion of your Arts degree you would then apply to study Graduate Law. It will only take you one extra year of study to complete the degrees one after another plus you have the added advantage of undertaking your degrees in isolation which will allow you more time and energy to achieve higher marks in your first degree, thereby increasing your chances of acceptance into Graduate Law.
