Government-subsidised courses at Monash University

17th February 2021

Highlights

  • Monash University, the Faculty of Information Technology, is offering 300 Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) across a range of graduate certificates in the key ICT areas Artificial Intelligence, Business Information Systems, Information Technology, Computer Science, Data Science Cybersecurity.
  • CPSs are open to domestic students for studies to be completed in 2021.

The Australian Government have announced $3.3 million for Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) under its National Higher Education Relief Package. A CSP is a place at a university or higher education provider, where the government fund part of your course fees. This is a subsidy, not a loan - which means students only pay the ‘student contribution amount’.

  • These graduate courses are designed by world-class IT experts, so the expertise you’ll gain is modern, practical and highly sought-after globally. 
  • You can finish a graduate certificate in as little as six months, and the credits you gain can contribute to a relevant master’s degree. 
  • You will be immersed in hands-on activities to ensure you’re ready to use your knowledge in real-world applications.
