Entry requirements
Applicants must possess a bachelor degree in applied science or equivalent qualification, or other evidence of qualifications that satisfy the Faculty Academic Board that the applicant possesses the capacity to pursue the course of study.
Course Design
This coursework program allows students to complete a minor project in some disciplines. The assessed coursework may include advanced lecture courses, seminars, reading courses or independent study designed to focus on information retrieval skills. Coursework units are chosen from those in the Master of Applied Science course, and may contain units from other postgraduate courses, the Bachelor of Applied Science (Honours) program or advanced undergraduate programs.
Candidates of the Graduate Diploma in Applied Science undertake a program of coursework, or coursework and a minor research project, as approved by the Academic Board on the advice of the Head of School.
Students must complete a total of 96 credit points which may consist of between 60 and 96 credit points of coursework, and up to 36 credit points as a minor research project.
Coursework units will be selected from the specific units available within the Master of Applied Science (SC80) course and may contain units selected from other postgraduate courses or advanced undergraduate courses where the background of the student requires this.
Overview
This course offers students a one-year postgraduate qualification by coursework, or coursework and a minor research project. The course will particularly suit if students are employed in the industry and wish to undertake postgraduate study to upgrade their professional qualification in one of the science disciplines.
