An Australian master’s by coursework takes one to two years after a bachelor’s and is taught through units, projects and often an industry placement. Through MultiPath you can apply directly to master’s degrees at universities across Australia, with tuition, length, entry and English shown for each.
How long is a master’s?
The Australian Qualifications Framework sets the length by your previous study: usually two years after a three-year bachelor’s in a different field, one and a half years after a bachelor’s in the same field, and one year after an honours degree or graduate diploma in the field. Many universities offer two-year versions for everyone; the shorter versions give credit for your earlier study.

A master’s, the graduate visa and family
- Graduate visa: after a coursework master’s you may be able to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa for up to two years, if your study adds up to at least two academic years (92 weeks) completed in at least 16 months in Australia. A master’s of one or one and a half years alone may not be enough: we check each course.
- Partners and children: since 2 October 2026 a student visa for a coursework master’s can include a partner or children only in a few cases, for example with a foreign government scholarship that fully funds your studies.
- Work while you study: up to 48 hours a fortnight in session and unlimited hours in breaks.
