Course Structure
No exemptions are permitted. If a unit has been studied previously then an alternative should be selected.
If students have opted for the majors in Project Management or Property Development, after the successful
completion of the graduate certificate, they may, on achieving a grade point average of 5.0 or better and
gaining admission to the Graduate Diploma in Project Management, complete a further 48 credit points in the
same discipline with the guidance and approval of the Course Coordinator and be granted the Graduate
Diploma in that discipline.
It should be noted that some units are available in concentrated format over a period of one, two or three
days rather than in the standard format of two hours per week for one or two semesters. These will be run
only if there is sufficient demand and will be self-funding from fees charged.
It is strongly recommended that all graduate certificate students complete the unit IFN001 Advanced
Information Retrieval Skills prior to commencing the course or early in Semester 1. The credit point value
of this unit is not included in the total credit points which must be completed to be awarded a graduate
certificate.
School electives are offered subject to an appropriate enrolment in each semester.
