Become an agile leader in complexity

Technology, Industry 4.0, climate action, globalisation and more: we live and work in a time of unprecedented change that affects the ways we live and work. This degree gives students a multidisciplinary advantage to tackle complex issues in your organisation and the wider community, where a diverse range of skills is increasingly in demand.

Flexible, individualised learning

The Graduate Diploma in Professional Practice combines practice-based subjects, called Studios, with elective subjects from across the university, to adapt the course to the needs of students.

We understand that’s a lot of freedom. That’s why a learning concierge helps guide students with choosing electives and career coaching for the unique professional background and career trajectory of every student.

Practice-based learning

In Studios, students work with academics and professional peers in collaborative, intensive workshops on complex problems honing problem solving skills and critical thinking on sustainable development solutions.

The studios teach design and systems thinking frameworks for students to apply and synthesise their technical knowledge and skills. The studios provide mentorship and a collaborative practice-based learning environment to develop competencies.

The course teaches students to think in different ways that enable them to tackle complex problems, while building postgraduate level content knowledge in subject areas of their choice.

The course for ethical innovative leadership

As a graduate, students become agile decision makers and communicators who tackle complex problems. They become professionally equipped to work successfully with, and for, Indigenous Australians.

UTS is committed to social justice and the economic, social and cultural prosperity of our community – fostering diversity of thought, critical thinking and technical mastery.

Whether students want to thrive in a large organisation or create a new career pathway, the Graduate Diploma in Professional Practice provides the expertise to help them get there.
