Overview

The Diploma in Scientific Practice can be taken in combination with any Science, Biotechnology or Medical Science course. It consists of a period of industrial workplace training plus two 6-credit-point subjects.

The concurrent degree and diploma program is designed to ensure that graduates have enhanced practical skills and a mature understanding of the workplace environment.

Additional admission requirements

Students enrolled in a Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Biotechnology or Bachelor of Medical Science program may apply to enter the concurrent degree and diploma program, by enrolling in the Diploma in Scientific Practice, after completion of at least 48 credit points of study at the Bachelor's degree level.

Places are not guaranteed because industrial training providers are not necessarily in a position to offer places in any one year.

Course structure

At present, the Diploma in Scientific Practice consists of a minimum of 30 weeks of Industrial Training and two 6-credit-point subjects. Students undergo workplace assessment and must also pass both subjects to be eligible to graduate with both the Bachelor of Science/Biotechnology/Medical Science and the Diploma in Scientific Practice.
