Postgraduate handbook 2005 - Engineering

Graduate Certificate in Transport and Traffic

Off-campus learning mode

Course description

This graduate certificate provides 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.

Entry requirements

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% average.
2. One graduate unit (six 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). 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% result in the entry exam (which would be equated to six credit points towards a postgraduate degree) and at least 65% 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.

Course structure

Students should choose three units from list of core units available in first and second semesters and one unit from the list of engineering electives:

Core units (all six credit points)
Elective units (all six credit points)
