The Graduate Certificate of Arts and Sciences gives you the opportunity to broaden your education by studying disciplines beyond the boundaries of specialised study. It can be taken concurrently with an undergraduate degree or, alternatively, it may be taken as a stand alone course.
The program will expose you to perspectives provided by a range of disciplines such as history, literature, sociology, philosophy, science, technology health, finance and management. Research shows that employers want graduates who not only have strong skills in their chosen fields but also have broad knowledge and the ability to think outside the confines of their specific discipline. Deakin has developed this course in direct response to this feedback from employers to give our graduates the best possible career prospects.
The Graduate Certificate of Arts and Sciences can be undertaken by students concurrently with their undergraduate degree or combined undergraduate degree... further information
