Admission requirements

Admission requirements

Applicants who do not hold the Graduate Diploma in Science (Water Resources Management) must normally hold a degree or equivalent qualification in any relevant discipline of science and engineering from an approved tertiary institution.

However, the Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature. These applicants will need to demonstrate relevant experience to an appropriate level and will be assessed at the discretion of the Course Coordinator.

English Language requirements

Aims

The course specialisation is designed to provide students with a program that offers them to gain both the overview as well as the depth of knowledge and application of skills in the different aspects of water resources management. These aspects include project management and integrated water management. Elective coursework and a choice of research or industry project enables students to build on the common 1st year topics a program of study that meets their individual needs and interest. The industry project has been designed to assist students in becoming professionally aware through quality interaction with industry leaders.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course you will be able to:

Understand the scientific problems involved in the management of water

Combine a broad range of science and management methods for integrated water resources management issues

Apply management fundamentals to solve current problems and to anticipate, mitigate and prevent future problems in the area of water resources management

Recognise and appreciate social, political, economic and environmental impacts on water resources management

Communicate effectively both orally and in writing, the nature of, and solution to, water resources management issues and problems

Student progression rules
