Course
code: 2087 Berwick campus (Monash and Chisholm TAFE) and Dandenong (Chisholm
TAFE) There will be no further intake into this course on the Berwick campus
after 2000
This double award is offered in conjunction with Chisholm Institute of
Technical and Further Education. The degree component of the course is
available by distance education. Only some of the TAFE diploma components are
available in flexible delivery mode at this stage.
The double-award course provides students with the opportunity to combine the
applied hands on, vocational, practical aspects of TAFE, together with the more
theoretical, discipline-based subjects available from the university. The
course offers a cost-efficient and time-effective pathway for students to
prepare themselves for a science-oriented career in research, industry or
commercial settings where a professional level of skill in a number of science
disciplines and training in either environmental management or materials
science are required. The focus of studies undertaken in the university degree
need not be directly linked to the TAFE diploma chosen, thus allowing for a
broader science training to be achieved if desired.
Students
enrol jointly in the BSc, Gippsland, degree at Monash University (see the
Bachelor of Science entry) and the Diploma of Environmental Management at the
Chisholm Institute of TAFE.
In the degree component, major studies may be chosen from
resource/environmental management or psychology, with other disciplines
available by flexible delivery from the Gippsland or Clayton campuses. The
course also provides for students to include some studies from such fields as
languages, business, economics, journalism and other humanities and social
sciences.
This model shows the general course structure for a full-time student. Students studying the degree component by distance education would normally spend extra time to complete each stage.

In
order to qualify for the double award, students must undertake 108 points of
university studies which must be chosen in a manner that satisfies the
structural requirements of the double award. The requirements for satisfactory
completion of the BSc component are set out below.
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.
For the BSc/DipEnvMgt, students will be required to complete subjects with a
total credit value of at least 108 points for the degree component, as
follows:
(a) One of SCI1020, STA1010/MTH1210 or MAT1085 (core subject) and
SCI2010.
(b) A minimum of 96 points from the ´Schedule of approved science
subjects', including two complete discipline sequences consisting of 12* + 18 +
24 points in one discipline area, across levels 1*, 2 and 3 respectively (other
than computing) and 24 points in a second discipline area, including at least
12 points from levels 2 and 3.
The discipline sequences available are detailed under the Bachelor of Science,
Gippsland, entry.
EXEMPTION FROM LEVEL 1 SUBJECTS MAY BE GRANTED WHERE APPROPRIATE, IF EQUIVALENT
SUBJECTS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED FROM THE DIPLOMA COMPONENT OF THE
COURSE. STUDENTS WOULD THEN BE REQUIRED TO CHOOSE ALTERNATIVE SUBJECTS TO MEET
THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF 92 POINTS.
Students who have successfully completed the first year of the BSc/DipEnvMgt double-award course, including passes in at least 12 points of university studies, may apply to transfer to the Bachelor of Science (Environmental Management) tagged degree offered by flexible delivery on the Berwick campus, with appropriate credits for completed studies. Refer to the BSc(Environmental Management) entry for details of course requirements.
