The course aims to provide a program 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.
There is no direct entry to the Postgraduate Diploma in Transport and Traffic. Students can articulate from the graduate certificate if they have at least a 65 per cent average, or they can exit from the Master of Transport or Master of Traffic after completing the four core units.
Subject to individual assessment, credit may be granted for up to 50 per cent of the total course on the basis of work of equivalent standard successfully completed at another institution, and up to 25 per cent for work completed outside the Engineering faculty at Monash University but which has not formed part of the work presented for any other degree.
The course is normally completed in two years by off-campus learning (based on two units per semester) with a maximum of four years part-time (based on one unit per semester). It may be accelerated to a full-time course. The course is equivalent to one EFTSU or 48 credit points.
