2085 Graduate Diploma of Applied
Science (Industrial Chemistry/
Biochemistry)
This course is designed for graduates with a general
background in chemistry 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
m chemistry and twenty-two weeks of industry based learning
including paid elnployment experience in an appropriate
,
a
industrial laboratory. The program will include a small
. research project.
m Graduates of the course will not only have gained a
g thorough understanding of the specialist principles of
U industrial chemistry, but also exposure to such related issues
2. as process economics, industrial issues and governmental
g
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.

2086 Graduate Diploma of Applied
Science (Social Statistics)
This course is for people with similar backgrounds to those
undertaking the Graduate Certificate of Applied Science
(Social Statistics), but who want to progress further and
cover a wider range of topics at a greater depth.
Normal entry is by successful completion of the subjects for
the Graduate Certificate in Social Statistics. Other applicants
with suitable backgrounds may be admitted to the program.
-.
The class contact hours will normally be four hours per
night, two nights per week for four semesters, which
includes the two semesters of the graduate certificate. Classes
will consist of a combination of lecture and practical work
as applicable to the topic.
The Graduate Diploma will qualify graduates to take up
research assistant positions involving both the management
and application of research in the social sciences that require
statistical methods for their design and analysis.

P083 Graduate Diploma in Chemical
Engineering
The purpose of the program is to provide students with a
basic core of chemical engineering knowledge. It is designed
to meet the needs of graduates who are not chemical
engineers but who are working in the chemical industry or
some related field.
Applicants are required to possess either a degree or diploma
in applied science or engineering. However, consideration
will be given to applicants who do not possess the formal
admission requirements, but who, by virtue of an extensive
period of industrial or other experience, can demonstrate
they have the capacity to cope with the study load involved.
The proposed program is planned to be completed in two
years (four semesters) of part-time study although timetable
restrictions may mean, on occasions, that five semesters will
be required. It is also possible that the program could be
