Professional Practice degrees
Earn a postgraduate degree while you work
If you're a professional with extensive experience and knowledge in your field, our innovative Professional Practice degrees can help you gain a professionally recognised qualification and further your career, while saving both time and money.
Who are Professional Practice degrees for?
Professional Practice degrees are designed for experienced professionals who are looking for formal recognition of the extensive experience, skills and knowledge they've gained through their line of work. These professionals may either have no formal qualifications, or an undergraduate degree that's no longer relevant to their field of practice.

Deakin's Master of Professional Practice degrees are the first of their kind for experienced professionals looking for an innovative and flexible way to gain a masters degree.
How do these degrees work?
Delivered as flexible online programs, Professional Practice degrees are ideally suited to the busy professional.

- introductory units that provide you with the insight, knowledge and tools to complete the qualification
- successful attainment of Professional Practice credentials by providing portfolio evidence of specific course learning outcomes at the required level
- a capstone unit where you complete a professional project that demonstrates your expertise and contributes to your field in a meaningful way.
