Postgraduate course search help
Using keywords to search courses
Note: a 'keywords search' allows you to enter a combination of search types whereas the other options allow one specific type of search.
A keywords search allows you to enter the course name, UAC course code, institution name, type of course or a combination of these search elements.
To refine your search:
- Choose 'any of these words (including and, of etc)' to list as many courses as possible – for example, type in 'mathematics teaching' and select 'any' to find every instance of the word 'mathematics' and every instance of the word 'teaching'.
- Choose 'all of these words' to list courses which include all of the keywords you entered – for example, type in 'mathematics teaching' and select 'all' to find every instance of the two words used together.
- Choose 'an exact match of these words' to narrow your matches to the exact combination of words that you enter.
For example: if you want to find a course in accounting at the Australian Catholic University, select 'all of these words' and type in: accounting catholic.
UAC course code
If you know the six-digit UAC course code you can enter it to get the details of the course you're looking for.
