Course details

Summary

This programme welcomes students with a highly developed interest in solving problems using science. Human progress has relied heavily on the conversion of science into technology in agriculture, industry, medicine, communications, transport, and now, increasingly and essentially, in the management and conservation of our biosphere and its resources. The Graduate Diploma offers a number of 'notional' specialisations or streams of study: plant protection; environmental monitoring; food quality management; ecology for nature conservation; and science and entrepreneurship.

Summary of Regulations
The Graduate Diploma in Applied Science requires 120 credits with a minimum of 75 credits at 300 level. The remaining credits, including not more than 15 credits at 100 level, may be chosen from the Schedule of Courses.
