Overview

The Graduate Diploma is the second level in a program that provides the opportunity for students to progress through to a Master program.

On completion of the four core units, candidates may exit with the Graduate Certificate in Environmental Systems, Markets and Climate Change.

The program focuses on future leaders and managers of eco-service markets such as carbon and water trading, and environmental sustainability issues such as climate change.

Students have the opportunity to pursue interests in four aspects of environmental systems and markets

a. The biophysical sciences;

b. Relevant aspects of behavioural change including education and communication;

c. Business including economics, accounting and strategy; and

d. Law and institutional arrangements.

This course will enable natural resource managers to meet their legal and policy obligations, and to minimize the risks of litigation through interdisciplinary training. The coursework program will enable staff from consultancy groups, regional organisations (e.g. Catchment Management Authorities (CMA)), and state and federal agencies to upgrade skills in this emerging and cross-disciplinary field, or facilitate a career change for those with discipline-based qualifications (eg teachers, lawyers, accountants).
