Notes
-
Program Electives - Students wishing to specialise in the disciplines of Earth Sciences, Economics, Finance, Mathematical Sciences, Marketing Science, Philosophy and Physics must complete at least 12 units of Electives from the list specified for their discipline. Students undertaking research in other disciplines who have completed equivalent prior learning to some or all of the Program Electives may be awarded credit for up to 12 units of Program Electives.
A maximum of 12 units of credit in total may be awarded for a Graduate Certificate.
Graduate Research Students may, on the advice of the discipline in which they are undertaking their research and with the approval of the Dean of Research Programs, be permitted to a) enrol in any relevant courses of equivalent or higher academic standard in lieu of any courses in which they have been granted credit, instead of accepting credit for those courses and b) substitute any relevant courses of equivalent or higher academic standard for courses listed in the elective course list. Students can nominate alternative discipline electives via this form.
-
Earth Sciences Electives - Graduate Research students in Earth Sciences must complete EART5012 - Advanced Field Geoscience and choose one of the remaining electives.
-
Economics Electives - Graduate Research students in Economics must complete ECONX401 - Econometric Theory and choose one of the remaining electives.
-
Mathematical Sciences Electives - Graduate Research Students in Mathematical Sciences must complete courses to the value of 12 units as advised by the School of Mathematical Sciences.
