zo-- Graduate Diploma of Applied
Science (Health Statistics)
This coune aims to extend the work load 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 elevant software; developing critical skills in the
statistical evaluation of health literature and gaining personal
contact with the work of 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
require statistical methods for its design and analysis.
Course structure
The course is offered as a part-time program wer two years.
The class contact hours for each subject will normally be
four 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 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
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 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.
