The Graduate Diploma in Environmental Management is a 36-unit program offered by the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
It articulates with the 18-unit Graduate Certificate in Environmental Management and the 72-unit Master of Environmental Management and the sequentially developed topics allow progression through the three awards.
Applicants who do not hold the Graduate Certificate in Environmental Management (or an approved equivalent) must normally hold an approved degree or equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution. However, the Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
Students who have completed the Graduate Certificate in Environmental Management or a comparable award normally receive credit for up to 18 units towards the Graduate Diploma.
The course is designed to provide students with an understanding of environmental processes, environmental systems, and environmental management.
Students may also undertake some study of specific environmental problems, research methods, geographical information systems, and environmental economics, philosophy or politics.
