Overview Course aims Admission requirements Attendance Course duration Course structure Course program Assessment Articulation and progression Other information Overview These programs are specifically designed for science graduates who are making, or expect to make, the transition to management roles in their place of employment. The core subjects provide the student with enhanced understanding of a wide range of topics including leadership skills, teamwork skills, experimental design, project management, intellectual property management, commercialisation skills and communication skills. Elective subjects may be taken in the Faculty of Science and/or Faculty of Business. Course aims Graduates possess theoretical and practical knowledge in science and management and are able to define and solve problems critically, evaluate literature and other information; understand the processes required to establish and maintain collaborative relationships; and understand the relationship between knowledge, research and practice. Admission requirements Applicants should have a Bachelor's degree from UTS or other recognised institution, preferably in science. The broad nature of this degree may also attract business graduates that are now working in science-related fields. Applicants who do not hold a Bachelor's degree but have extensive work experience are permitted to enrol in the Graduate Certificate, with entry to the Graduate Diploma or Master's program contingent on their satisfactory performance in the Graduate Certificate. Attendance The science subjects within this program are offered in intensive mode to accommodate the needs of work-based students. Continuing assessment items ensure ongoing interaction with academic staff. Typically, six days of attendance is required for each 12-credit-point science subject. Normally this would be scheduled for weekend attendance. If there is sufficient demand, some subjects may be delivered offshore. Course duration The Graduate Certificate is offered on a one-semester, part-time basis. The Graduate Diploma is offered on a one-semester, full-time, or two-semester, part-time basis. The Master's is offered on a two-semester, full-time, or four-semester, part-time basis.

The Graduate Diploma program consists of one compulsory subject, and one subject from a choice of two (total of 24 credit points). The Master's program consists of a total of 48 credit points. One subject is compulsory, then students must choose 24 credit points of science subjects, and 12 credit points of business subjects.

Articulation and progression Students transferring from the Graduate Certificate, or Graduate Diploma program are given full credit, subject to successful completion of academic requirements, to the Master's program. There may be cases where students who have successfully completed some of the Master's program wish to transfer to the Doctor of Technology program. This transfer is approved when the student has completed the required subjects and is conditional on meeting the academic requirements for admission into the Doctor of Technology. However, completion of the requirements does not guarantee admission into any other program.
