C11051v3 Graduate Certificate in Environmental Engineering Management

Overview

This course deals with the broad aspects of environmental management relevant to practising professionals in engineering science, planning, architecture, law, surveying, health and building. Engineers, scientists, town planners and other professionals working in this field have a compelling duty to ensure that the adverse effects of development on the total environment are minimised.

Environmental engineering and management is high on the political agenda. It also has a high professional priority. Students develop a background and competence in environmental management.

Course aims

The course aims to develop an awareness and understanding of the human impact on the environment with respect to waste minimisation and water quality management, and the professional skills required to work as part of an integrated team responsible for environmental planning and management.

Career options

This course is of relevance to practising professionals in architecture, building, engineering science, health, law, planning and surveying.

Articulation

Work undertaken in this Graduate Certificate course may be credited towards a Master's degree provided the requirements of the Master's degree are met in full, in terms of subject coverage and project weighting.

However, completion of the requirements for the Graduate Certificate in Environmental Engineering Management does not guarantee admission to Master's candidature.

Additional admission requirements

The normal educational qualification for admission is a Bachelor's degree in engineering, science, design, architecture, building, surveying or planning. Equivalent qualifications are considered on their merits. Provisional admission for graduates from disciplines other than those listed above is available provided the education contained an adequate introduction to mathematics and physical sciences.

Additional recognition of prior learning

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is considered in accordance with the University policy on RPL (which can be viewed online). The maximum amount of RPL granted is 6 credit points (without exception).

Course duration and attendance

The normal attendance pattern, based on two subjects per semester, requires a minimum of one year to complete the course. This degree is also available to full-time, fee-paying international students who will complete the degree in one semester.

The block attendance pattern of study currently consists of three sessions per semester, each session involving three days of full-day attendance. To complete two subjects in a semester, three days of full-day attendance is required at each session. To complete one subject in a semester, one-and-a-half days of attendance at each session is required.

Subjects may also be taken in distance mode.

Course structure

Students complete three subjects chosen from a core list of subjects (Group A) and one subject from another list (Group B), totalling 24 credit points of study.
