The Graduate Diploma (Research) will give you specialised knowledge and research training in disciplines within the Faculty of Science. You will be expected to complete disciplinary coursework (of 18-24 Units of Credit) and a significant independent research project (24-30 UoC).
You can choose from a diverse range of disciplines, so the exact proportion of research-based work and coursework may differ by School. In addition to conducting research and coursework, you will be expected to undertake Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) training, attend and present seminars, and write a literature review and thesis.
This degree will benefit those wishing to upgrade existing qualifications or to develop expertise in a different but related area from that of their first degree.
