General information

Course code: 2363 Berwick/Gippsland campus HECS fees applicable for university component; fees for TAFE components separately charged * Attendance is compulsory for some laboratory-based units in the university component; attendance is compulsory for TAFE modules which are not available in flexible delivery mode
This double award is offered in conjunction with East Gippsland, Chisholm and Northern Melbourne Institutes of TAFE. The degree component is available by distance education. Most of the TAFE diploma components are available in flexible delivery mode.
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 Technical and Further Education Institutes including East Gippsland, Chisholm, Peninsula 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 course available from the university. The double award, if taken full time, is a four-year program.
