Graduate Certificate in Transport and Traffic

Course code: 2864 + Course abbreviation: GradCertT&T + Total credit points required: 24 + 1 year part-time

Study mode and course location

Off-campus (Clayton)

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 points) on a not-for-degree basis, and achieve at least a 65% average.

2. One graduate unit (6 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 6 points towards a postgraduate degree) and at least 65% in the further 6-point unit from the postgraduate program (taken on a not-for-degree basis) in order to be able to articulate into the graduate certificate.
