Postgraduate Futures
Independent analysis of Australian postgraduate degrees and the decisions they shape.
Postgraduate Futures examines postgraduate degrees in Australia to understand how they are structured, how long they take, what they cost, and how they shape future study and work options.
Postgraduate study is a forward-looking commitment. Degrees lock in time, money, eligibility, and direction. This site exists to make those commitments visible.
Much of the work examines Australian postgraduate education across providers and disciplines. Analysis compares degrees to show where programs genuinely differ and where they converge despite differences in name or presentation.
Ideas for new areas of analysis are welcome.
What We Analyse
- Degree structure and duration
- Cost and delivery model
- Provider-level differences
- Graduate outcomes where data is available
Our Approach
Postgraduate Futures uses publicly available data and documentation to analyse how postgraduate degrees are built and what they require.
Sources include enrolment statistics, student surveys, graduate outcomes data, salary information, and university course documentation.
The aim is to show what postgraduate degrees commit people to in terms of time, cost, sequence, eligibility, and downstream options, before decisions are made.
