What will I learn?

Study a new subject and enhance your career prospects by completing a 120-point Graduate Diploma in Science (GDipSc).Your GDipSc can be as specialised or as broad as you choose. You can specialise in a subject by completing the 300-level requirements of one of our BSc majors. This effectively gives you an extra major in a different discipline to your original Bachelor’s major. Or you can use the GDipSc to explore an interdisciplinary pathway and take courses from a range of subjects.If you are already working in an industry, the GDipSc is a great way to enhance your knowledge of the latest developments in your area of interest.You can complete the GDipSc in two trimesters if studying full time, or in up to four years if studying part time. Depending on your situation, you may need do preparatory studies that would add to your total study time. The GDipSc also prepares you for studying a degree at postgraduate level-for example, the Bachelor of Science with Honours or the Master of Science.
