Graduate Diploma in Science

GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN SCIENCE (Course Code 50300)

The Graduate Diploma program in Sport Science, Exercise and Health is intended for students wishing to undertake specialisation in professional preparation (e.g. those seeking accreditation from the Australian Association of Exercise and Sports Science (AAESS)). This would be similar to completing a Graduate Diploma in Teacher Education in the Graduate School of Education.

The Diploma may, with permission from the Head of School and Sub Dean of the Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, progress to the Masters program. Prospective students are advised to consult with the Senior Administrative Officer in the School of Sport Science, Exercise and Health.

Candidates seeking admission to the Graduate Diploma would normally be expected to have a BSc degree majoring in Sport Science, Exercise and Health or its equivalent. The Graduate Diploma of Science comprises:

Core Units (12 points)
HMES7602 Research Methods in HMES
HMES7603 Data Analysis in HMES

Plus 6 x 6 point units to the value of 36 points

Units should be selected from those offered within the School of Sport Science, Exercise and Health under the relevant sub-discipline areas.

This course allows Science graduates the opportunity to complete just one year (full-time) of graduate study to gain a further qualification. For students to be eligible to continue to Masters level, an GPA of at least 65% is required at the graduate diploma level.

It should also be noted that the Graduate Diploma in Science is a full-fee program. The total fees payable each year depends on the total points value of the units taken each semester.

An application form is available from the following website: http://www.science.uwa.edu.au/for/postgrad/apply

and can be lodged with the Faculty from mid October until mid December preceding the year of intended study.

Mid-year entry is also available
