Graduate Certificate in Research Design
All research begins with a question – learn how to formulate yours.
Research is the driving force behind every sector, from healthcare to the creative arts, space, education, and more. It fuels new ideas, shapes smarter decisions and powers positive change.
Whether you’re passionate about exploring unchartered ideas, eager to make a lasting impact, or simply want to find new ways to tackle complex problems within your industry or community – we’re here for it.
Are you interested in learning how to design a research project in an area you are passionate about? Or are you aiming to tackle a Master of Research but didn’t receive the grades required for direct entry? Our Graduate Certificate in Research Design is designed to help get you there.
