Study Requirements
The Graduate Diploma in Environmental Science is a graduate program of one year full time (or equivalent) study for students to study the nature of environmental problems, the methodology of evaluation and environmental management and control

Entry Requirements
A three year degree in science or engineering or equivalent, in a field relevant to environmental study, or a four year degree in another plan, e.g., BA in an environmental field. Under exceptional circumstances, and at the discretion of the head of school, applicants with extensive experience in the environmental field, or with other professional or academic attainments, may also enrol in the Graduate Diploma program

Course Requirements
Students enrolled in the Graduate Diploma in Environmental Science are required to complete a program totalling 36 units of credit made up of one compulsory Core Course (6 units of credit) and Elective Courses (30 units of credit) selected from one or two specialists streams. The structure of the program allows students to pursue specialised interests through the electives, or to develop new areas of expertise. Students may upgrade to the Masters of Science and Technology in Environmental Science upon completion of satisfactory progress. In such cases, students will be required to complete 60 units of credit. Core and elective courses are the same as those listed under the entry for the Master of Science and Technology in Environmental Science (8720/8970) coursework only option. Except in unusual circumstances, the Graduate Diploma in Environmental Science is the first stage in an articulated program of Graduate Diploma and Masters programs in Environmental Science. The Graduate Diploma in Environmental Science is available in attendance study mode only, although a number of courses are available via off-campus study or short program mode, allowing up to 50% of the program to be completed by off-campus mode. A Graduate Certificate program is planned for 2001 by off-campus, subject to approval.
