~083 Graduate Diploma in Risk<br />
Management<br />
This course provides further studies for graduates in all<br />
branches <strong>of</strong> engineering, applied science and business, to gain<br />
more specialised knowledge in risk management. This has<br />
application in many areas <strong>of</strong> technical and business decisionmaking<br />
where proper consideration <strong>of</strong> risks is essential to<br />
minimise human discomfort and injury; as well as potential<br />
physical and financial losses.<br />
Subject material is arranged to enable studies to be<br />
undertaken in one <strong>of</strong> three specialised streams, in addition to a<br />
common core <strong>of</strong> studies. The streams are:<br />
health and safety risks<br />
plant and property risks<br />
maintenance (production risks)<br />
This arrangement allows groups with specific interests within<br />
the broad risk management field to specialise.<br />
Core material comprises subjects directed at developing an<br />
understanding <strong>of</strong> the broad risk management discipline from<br />
the management, insurance, sfatistical, engineering,<br />
psychological, social and legal aspects.<br />
Streamed material includes expansion <strong>of</strong> core material in<br />
relevant directions as well as more specialised subjects. Full<br />
subject details are available from the School <strong>of</strong> Mechanical and<br />
:. Manufacturing Engineering.<br />

Master <strong>of</strong> Applied Science (Applied<br />
Colloid Science) - by coursework<br />
The aims <strong>of</strong> this course are to provide students with an<br />
understanding <strong>of</strong> modern colloid science at an advanced level,<br />
to develop research capabilities and to introduce the latest<br />
technology to industry.<br />
The course includes a research project which is normally<br />
undertaken throughout the second and third years <strong>of</strong> the<br />
course, and for which a minor thesis is submitted. This project<br />
may be carried out at the student's work place or within the<br />
<strong>Swinburne</strong> Colloid laboratory or at a similiar institution.<br />
The program is a three-year part-time course involving up to<br />
eight hours per week (two evenings). Each topic runs for five<br />
weeks (one evening per week), except the research project<br />
which is designed to occupy roughly one-third <strong>of</strong> the student's<br />
total work load and is to be carried out at the student's<br />
discretion. Under special circumstances, the course may be<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered on a full-time basis.<br />
Students who successfully complete, with good results, the<br />
first vear <strong>of</strong> the Graduate Dioloma in A ~~lied Colloid Science<br />
maybrogress to the second 'year <strong>of</strong> the asters course. Direct<br />
entry into the first year <strong>of</strong> the Masters course is available to<br />
applicants having a <strong>Swinburne</strong> degree with distinction in<br />
computer-aided chemistry or biochemistry or an honours<br />
degree in a related discipline. Equivalent experience will be<br />
considered.<br />
