A growing demand for expertise
If you hold an undergraduate degree and are looking to change to a new career in health, now’s the ideal time to study a Graduate Entry Master degree.
Fast-track to a new health career with a graduate entry master degree
At Curtin, our Graduate Entry Master degrees can give you the skills and professional qualification you need to work in your chosen healthcare area.
These courses are taught by industry leaders and mix theory with practice, providing highly focused, career-specific tuition, which will fast-track your career path quicker than an undergraduate honours degree or a combined undergraduate and postgraduate pathway.
Master of Speech Pathology
In the accredited Master of Speech Pathology, you’ll learn to provide services to people of all ages with communication impairments, including speech, language, voice, fluency disorders, or clients with eating and drinking difficulties.
Doctor of Physiotherapy
The accredited Doctor of Physiotherapy provides a fast-track pathway to becoming a physiotherapist. You’ll gain skills across many specialist and practical areas including movement science, musculoskeletal science and neuroscience.
Master of Occupational Therapy
In the accredited Master of Occupational Therapy, you will learn to help people who’ve experienced injury, illness or disability achieve greater independence and wellbeing.
Master of Social Work
The Master of Social Work provides a fast-track option to become a social worker, where you’ll help people address life challenges and improve their quality of life. This course offers Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP), which means part of your fees are subsidised by the Australian Government.
Master of Nursing Practice
The Master of Nursing Practice is a two-year graduate entry master degree that can help you change to a nursing career, and gain registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
Master of Midwifery
Learn to work as a professional midwife in real settings, undertaking practical experience and applying your midwifery skills over the whole childbirth continuum. This course is the only postgraduate midwifery course in Australia that does not require you to have an undergraduate nursing qualification to enter.
I chose this course because I wanted to change careers to occupational therapy. It’s a field that’s constantly evolving, with opportunities to specialise in different areas. I am excited to work directly with people to help them participate in life in meaningful ways.
After looking at different course options, I found out that Curtin’s 2-year course for Master of Nursing Practice was the shortest and most efficient pathway to be an RN. Since I did my undergrad at Curtin, I felt comfortable going back, and it was fun seeing all the new changes on the campus.
I felt that as a mature-age student, I was in a better position to build on the learnings from my undergraduate degree and my work/personal life experiences. I realised that studying social work would open more doors for me in the future and enable me to work with individuals/children/families across different settings.
