Recognition of Prior Learning

The Graduate Diploma in Health Technology Innovation is a 1.5 year (60 credit point) program. 

Depending on the level and type of your previous tertiary studies in health and/or technology, you may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) which will shorten the length of the degree.

In the Graduate Diploma in Health Technology Innovation, credit may be granted against the Foundation Units component, up-to 12 credit points maximum. Students who are eligible for this credit would be able reduce their total requirements to 48 credit points and complete the program within 12 months of full-time study. 

Further information on RPL can be found at  http://sydney.edu.au/engineering/it/current_students/postgrad_coursework/rpl.shtml

Completion time

Enrolment in the Graduate Diploma in Health Technology Innovation may be either part-time or full-time with a maximum completion time of five years.
