Course code: 2864 + Clayton campus + Full-fee-paying course, with no HECS liability attached + Cost: Australian students - TBA ($1350 per six-credit point unit in 2003); international students - $1625 per six-credit-point unit
This course aims to provide a course of study for transport and traffic professionals wishing to expand their skills in areas of relevance to the planning, design, management and operation of transport and traffic facilities to meet their own personal and professional needs as well as the needs of their clients and the wider community. Graduates are able to bring together knowledge from the many disciplines involved in transport and to communicate effectively with other people in the industry and wider community.
The course satisfies the continuing education requirements of the Institution of Engineers, Australia.
Participants will have a three-year degree in engineering,
applied science or other appropriate degree program, an undergraduate degree in
civil engineering or equivalent. For students without a degree, the minimum
requirement would be three years of documented high-level technical experience,
and completion of either:
1. Two graduate units (12 credit points) on a not-for-degree basis, and
achieve at least a 65 per cent average.
2. One graduate unit (6 credit points) on a not-for-degree basis and complete an entry exam, based on the material covered in an industry program (a non-award program, for example the Transport Management Course in Bus and Coach Operations or the Education Program in Parking Management). This exam would test the understanding of the material and its application at an advanced level appropriate for entry to a postgraduate program. The student would need to achieve at least a 65 per cent result in the entry exam (which would be equated to six credit points towards a postgraduate degree) and at least 65 per cent in the further six-credit-point unit from the postgraduate program (taken on a not-for-degree basis) in order to be able to articulate into the graduate certificate.
The course is normally completed in one year by off-campus learning (based on two units per semester).
The course will be conducted by off-campus learning part-time over two semesters or one year. It may be accelerated to a six-month, full-time course. The course is therefore equivalent to 0.5 EFTSU or 24 credit points.
The following units offered by off-campus learning as part of the Master of Business Systems through the Gippsland campus are also offered as electives:
Off-campus learning material in the form of study guides and CD-ROMs are currently being developed and will be made available to all students. Prescribed textbooks will be available from the university bookshop. Students will require access to a computer with email and internet access, either at home or via commercial access points or facilities at local libraries etc.
