5 This program is designed for graduates with a background in
chemistry who have a professional interest in the
{ application of surface and colloid science to industrial
problems. It is suitable for staff engaged in production,
" a research and development, technical sales and service, and
management for industry or government establishments.
The program is a two year (four semester) part-time course
involving up to eight hours per week (two evenings). Each
topic runs for five weeks (one evening per week). Under
special circumstances, the course may be offered on a fulltime
basis.
The program includes a variety of topics designed to cover
the requirements of a wide range of industries. It comprises,
in semesters one and three, a compulsory core of lectures
and practical work which acquaints the student with the
fundamental properties of colloids and interfaces. Semesters
two and four are devoted to a series of elective subjects
which students choose from according to their interests and
needs. Electives may also be offered during semesters one
and three.
The first year of part-time study is common to that of the
corresponding Master by coursework program.
Entry to the Graduate Diploma of Applied Science (Applied
Colloid Science) is open to applicants with a first tertiary
qualification in engineering or science. An applicant whose
experience in chemistry is considered to be inadequate is
required to undertake a course in physical chemistry before
admission.

2084 Graduate Diploma of Applied
Science (Biomedical Instrumentation)
A two year part-time program, or one year full-time,
intended for graduates in a medical, scientific or engineering
discipline who require a detailed knowledge of the design,
construction and operation of modern biomedical
instrumentation. It offers training in quantitative techniques
and in specific instruments and their applications.
