Overview

The Science Management program is specifically designed for science graduates who are making, or expect to make, the transition to management roles in their place of employment.

This course provides essential knowledge and concepts to facilitate skills development in research and development management and staff management according to each student's proposed workplace environment.

Articulation

This course is part of an articulated program comprising the Graduate Certificate in Science Management, the Graduate Diploma in Science Management (C07085), and the Master of Science Management (C04170). Students transferring from the Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma are given full credit, subject to successful completion of academic requirements, to the Master's program.

Students who have completed the Master's program may apply for admission to the Master of Business Administration program and may be granted advanced standing. Contact the Graduate School of Business for further details.

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 program contingent on their satisfactory performance in the Graduate Certificate.

Course duration and attendance

The Graduate Certificate is offered on a one-semester, part-time basis.

The subject within this program is 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, which would normally be scheduled for weekend attendance.

If there is sufficient demand, the subject may be delivered offshore.

Course structure

The Graduate Certificate consists of 12 credit points of study, comprising one compulsory subject.
