Graduate Certificate of Technology and Regulation
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Graduate Certificate of Technology and Regulation gives lawyers and non-lawyers grounding in how emerging technologies are actually regulated, aimed at professionals working in tech policy, compliance or technology-adjacent legal roles who need genuine regulatory expertise as technology regulation becomes increasingly complex and fast-moving. The four-unit certificate builds theoretical and practical knowledge specifically in technology regulation, distinguishing it from broader IT or business law courses that only touch on regulatory questions in passing. Entry accepts either an Australian bachelor's degree or three years of relevant work experience approved by the faculty, making it accessible to tech industry professionals without a formal legal background. It suits people working in technology policy, data protection, AI governance or tech compliance roles who want a credible regulatory qualification, and can lead into further postgraduate law study at Monash for those who want to continue.
