Objectives

The Graduate Diploma of Environmental Science program has been designed to achieve several aims: to facilitate candidates broadening their experience and awareness in the areas of environmental conservation, resource management and environmental planning; to provide candidates with experience in carrying out a research project on an environmental issue in a multidisciplinary team; to enable candidates to work and communicate with staff and other students who hold degrees in diverse disciplines; to assist candidates to develop intellectual tools to function effectively in the social constructs that form our environments and their dislocations; to enhance candidates sensitivity to the complexity of the world system and to develop a caring and responsible stance toward it; and to enable candidates to continue studies at a graduate level within their areas of interest and/or previous training.
