See also Grad. Cert. and M.Sci.Tech. in Chemical Analysis and Laboratory Management.

Description

This program offers training in advanced chemical analysis techniques and associated management issues. It allows students to select from a series of modules covering all aspects of modern chemical analysis, safety and occupational health issues, and people management. The program will normally be completed within one year on a full time basis, or over two years part time. It is particularly suited to new graduates or laboratory chemists and managers who wish to upgrade their qualifications in and knowledge of chemical analysis and related topics. This is the second stage in a fully articulated program of Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Master of Science and Technology in Chemical Analysis and Laboratory Management.

The GradDip is a 36 UC program which represents three-quarters of a standard full-time load for 1 year or a standard part-time load for 1.5 years.

Admission Criteria

BSc degree with a major in Chemistry or equivalent qualification.

Students who are enrolled in a GradCert Chemical Analysis and Laboratory Management who have completed 24 UoC will be able to apply to the Head of School for advanced standing in the GradDip in Chemical Analysis and Laboratory Management. Advanced standing for students who wish to transfer to a GradDip Chemical Analysis and Laboratory Management will be considered on a case by case basis. Students who have taken out a GradCert Chemical Analysis and Laboratory Management and who wish to enrol in the GradDip will normally be granted 18 UoC advanced standing in the GradDip Chemical Analysis and Laboratory Management program.
