Graduate Certificate in Science (Groundwater Hydrology)
ObjectivesThe course aims to facilitate skills transfer from another relevant area of engineering or science to the study of groundwater hydrology. Learning outcomes Graduates from this award will have: * an understanding of the basic scientific concepts that underpin the occurrence, distribution, movement and quality of groundwater; * an understanding of the current pressing groundwater management issues and the technologies employed to deal with them; * a basic training in a range of commonly employed field, laboratory and computational methods used in the study of groundwater hydrology; and * the necessary communication, problem-based and critical thinking skills that will promote lifelong learning in their future careers.
Entry requirementsApplicants must normally hold an approved degree or equivalent qualification in any relevant discipline of science and engineering, from an approved tertiary institution. However, the Faculty Board may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
Academic titleGraduate Certificate in Science (Groundwater Hydrology)
Course descriptionThe Graduate Certificate in Science (Groundwater Hydrology) is an 18-unit program offered by the Faculty of Science and Engineering on a Commonwealth Supported basis. The course articulates with the Graduate Diploma in Science (Groundwater Hydrology) and the Master of Science (Groundwater Hydrology), and the sequentially developed topics allow progression through the three awards. Students who have completed the graduate certificate are awarded credit towards the graduate diploma.
