Additional 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 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 contingent on their satisfactory performance in the Graduate Certificate.

Course duration and attendance

The Graduate Diploma is offered on a one-year, part-time basis only.

The science subjects within this program are offered in intensive block mode to accommodate the needs of work-based students. Continuing assessment items ensure ongoing interaction with academic staff. Typically, each 12-credit-point science subject requires six days of attendance. Normally this would be scheduled for weekend attendance.

If there is sufficient demand, some subjects may be delivered offshore.

Course structure

The Graduate Diploma program consists of two compulsory subjects totalling 24 credit points. Students must complete one subject in each semester of the course.
