This course has been designed to prepare students to work at a professional
level in the management and utilisation of resources and the environment,
particularly natural resources, with an emphasis on best practice and
sustainability. Students are provided with a wide range of analytical,
monitoring and management skills. It enables students to undertake concurrently
the Bachelor of Science (Resource Management) degree from Monash University and
the Diploma of Natural Resource Management from various TAFE institutes
including East Gippsland, Chisolm and Northern Melbourne institutes of TAFE
This cross-sectorial course (commonly referred to as a double award course)
provides students with the opportunity to combine the applied 'hands on',
vocational, and practical aspects of TAFE with the more theoretical,
discipline-based courses available from the university. The double award, if
taken full time, is a four-year program.
Part-time study and flexible delivery options (distance education) are
available. In addition to the normal beginning-of-year entry, it is possible to
commence the course mid-year, with a reduced range of available subjects.
This course aims to: (i) equip graduates with the knowledge, competencies and attitudes that will enable them to pursue careers in a scientific setting or where a scientific training requires the support of professional-level skills in environmental science with an emphasis on natural resource management; (ii) foster in students an intellectual curiosity as a preparation for lifelong learning; (iii) develop a high quality, challenging and supportive learning environment appropriate to the needs of both distance education and on-campus students, including international students; (iv) provide students with formal professional qualifications for employment in natural resource management and environmental management roles in private industry and the public sector; (v) provide a course which is readily available throughout Victoria and beyond, utilising flexible delivery methods.
Basic structure of the double award course is:

In
this double award, students must undertake 108 points of university studies
which must be chosen in a manner which satisfy the structural requirements of
the double award. For the BSc(ResMgmt)/DipNatResMgmt, students will be required
to complete as follows:
1 A minimum of ninety-six points from the Faculty of Science offerings.
2 The completion of the resource management major and supporting
subjects selected from:
*EXEMPTION FROM LEVEL-ONE SUBJECTS MAY BE GRANTED WHERE APPROPRIATE, IF EQUIVALENT SUBJECTS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED (OR ARE BEING UNDERTAKEN) FROM THE DIPLOMA COMPONENT OF THE COURSE.
This program represents a
12+18+24 points (total fifty-four points) major in the resource/environmental
management area, across levels one*, two and three respectively and thirty
points in a second discipline area, including at least eighteen points from
levels two and three.
3 Twelve points of generic skills subjects: SCI1010, SCI1020
4 Students would then choose additional subjects to meet the minimum
requirement of 108 points from university-accredited subjects.
Information on the TAFE requirements for this double award is available from
the relevant institute of TAFE partners. Where there is equivalent course
content between subjects taken in the TAFE associate diplomas or diploma,
students may not take the equivalent subject in the degree.
