Graduate Diploma of Applied
Science (Health Statistics)
This course aims to extend the work done in the Graduate
Certificate of Applied Science (Health Statistics). This will
include using a wider variety of statistical techniques,
providing a deeper and broader understanding of the
relevant software; developing critical skills in the statistical
evaluation of health literature and gaining personal contact
with the work of statistical practitioners in the health
sciences.
The Graduate Diploma will qualify graduates to take up
research assistant positions involving both the management
and application of research in the health sciences that
requires statistical methods for its design and analysis.
Coursestructure
The course is offered as a part-time program over two years.
ZZ The class contact hours for each subject will normally be four
n
c hours per week for one semester and consists of a combination
% of lectures and practical work as applicable to the topic.

Graduate Diploma of Applied
Science (Industrial Chemistry1
Biochemistry)
This course is designed for graduates with a general
background ', in chemistrv or biochemistry who wish to
become experienced in its application to industrial
problems.
This course will be offered on the basis of one year of fulltime
study, covering a full twelve months. It will comprise
seventeen weeks of coursework related to industrial
chemistry and twenty-two weeks of industry based learning
including paid employment experience in an appropriate
industrial laboratory. The program will include a small
research project.
Graduates of the course will not only have gained a
thorough understanding of the specialist principles of
industrial chemistry, but also exposure to such related issues
as process economics, industrial issues and governmental
regulations.
Entry to industrial chemistry is open to applicants with a
first tertiary qualification in science, medicine, engineering
and biological sciences. An applicant whose position or
experience indicates an ability to succeed in the course may
be accepted with other qualifications or with less than the
usual entry qualifications.
