Admission requirements

Applicants who do not hold the Graduate Certificate in Environmental Management (or an approved equivalent) must normally hold an approved degree or equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution. However, the Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.

Students who have completed the Graduate Certificate in Environmental Management or a comparable award normally receive credit for up to 18 units towards the Graduate Diploma.

Course aims

The course is designed to provide students with an understanding of environmental processes, environmental systems, and environmental management.

Students may also undertake some study of specific environmental problems, research methods, geographical information systems, and environmental economics, philosophy or politics.

The course is international in scope, but case study material will draw especially on the experience of Australia and other countries within the Asia-Pacific region. 

Learning outcomes

Students who complete the Graduate Diploma in Environmental Management will be able to:

  • demonstrate an enhanced understanding and appreciation of current issues in environmental management
  • identify the main theories, issues and complexities shaping the environment in which contemporary policymakers work
  • demonstrate an enhanced understanding of the challenge of environmental management and associated environmental management tools.
