Why study with us? Our courses are developed after extensive government and industry consultation and are designed to make maximum benefit of the knowledge gained from the Institute’s concurrent research and consultancy activities.

Our short courses are presented by expert practitioners who work on a daily basis, in or with local councils, government and the private sector.

Programs are offered in an interactive face-to-face workshop style, and students typically remark on the real benefits of shared learning.

Pathway to postgraduate studySuccessful completion of some of our short courses can also provide a pathway to our postgraduate courses in applied policy and local government. Students who successfully complete one (or more) of the short courses indicated in the below tables as ‘PG credit’ may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) towards our postgraduate courses.

A successfully completed eligible short course is equivalent to one postgraduate subject (six credit points).
