Graduate Certificate in Ergonomics
SESCAS7439

NOTICE

The Ergonomics Programs (Masters, Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate) at UNSW are currently being reviewed with a view to updating them in the light of modern interests and requirements in human factors. Such review and program revamp will in part be built upon the views of our previous students. Accordingly no new applications to enroll in any of the Ergonomics Programs are being accepted for the whole of 2008. It is expected that new enrollments will accepted for commencement in March 2009.

Objectives
The Graduate Certificate in Ergonomics is intended to provide professionals from other disciplines with an awareness of the principles of ergonomics sufficient for them to be able to identify ergonomics problems in human-technology-environment systems and to be able to recommend a user-centred, systems approach to their assessment and control. It is the first stage in a fully articulated sequence of Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Master of Science and Technology Programs in Ergonomics. The Graduate Certificate requires 24 UOC and is normally completed in six months full-time (or equivalent part-time study) and is available in off-campus mode.
