POSTGRADUATE COURSES

Graduate Certificate in Cleaner
Production
Swinburne delivers this niche course to meet the developing need of modern
society to protect the environment. The Graduate Certificate in Cleaner Production
has been developed in conjunction with industry representatives and the
Australian Centre for Cleaner Production to ensure that the subjects offered
provide a comprehensive training program in the principles and practices of
cleaner production.
Cleaner Production is concerned with the development of environmentally friendly
processes and technologies and covers a broad range of industry activities.
Cleaner production concepts have consequences for the whole life cycle of a
product or process and can enable improvements in product design, production,
assembly, disassembly, repairability, recyclability, transportation of raw materials
and products, and energy efficiency improvement.
The Graduate Certificate, although a valuable qualification in its own right, is a
broadening course which ensures students from a variety of backgrounds all reach
a common level of knowledge in the field of cleaner production.
Aims & Objectives
The course aims to provide advanced training in the field of cleaner production for
engineers and equips graduates with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to enable
them to audit, operate and design industrial systems according to the principles of
cleaner production.
Campus
Hawthorn
Career opportunities
Industries who adopt an environmentally orientated approach will gain a
competitive edge, therefore they will need to engage staff with the knowledge
and skills to identify, advise, monitor and implement the requirements for cleaner
production.
Participants who complete the Graduate Certificate will be able to articulate with
appropriate credit into the Graduate Diploma of Cleaner Production and then
Master of Engineering in Cleaner Production.
Course duration
Up to two years full-time or part-time.
Structure
The course is delivered essentially on-campus at Hawthorn although some
modules can be delivered off-campus via 'distance learning' by special
arrangement. Participants not wishing to complete the full graduate certificate
can select individual subjects that may be of interest. Each subject is of forty
hours duration.
