Course Structure
The GradDipAppSc(ME) is a one year full-time (or part-time equivalent) coursework programme consisting of eight X 12.5% units plus a Practicum component of 10 days work experience (5 days per semester) in an appropriate industry, private or government organisation.
Coursework units in both courses are co-delivered with students enrolled in the BAppSc(ME), GradCertAppSc(ME), MAppSc(ME) and MAppSc(ME)Hons programs. Units will be coded at either 500 or 600 level to enable assessment commensurate with a postgraduate course. Students may complete 1 semester equivalent (4x12.5% units) and exit the GradDipAppSc(ME) with a GradCertAppSc(ME), provided that the Practicum 1 unit (5 days) is complete.
Majors
All students will select one of six Discipline unit sequences available.
To complete a major in the GradDipAppSc(ME), students complete 6 core units and 2 electives according to schedules for their respective major (Schedules A to F).
Either Data Analysis and Presentation or Quantitative Methods is a prerequisite for GradDipAppSc(ME) graduates to articulate into second research year of the MAppSc(ME)Hons or for the project in the MAppSc(ME). Therefore students considering entering the Masters in subsequent years will be counselled to include this unit within their discipline sequence in either the GradCertAppSc(ME) or the GradDipAppSc(ME) if they have not alreadysuccessfully completed an approved equivalent unit.
