Environmental science and environmental management at Charles Darwin University are research-intensive, dynamic disciplines, situated within some of the most spectacular and fascinating natural and cultural environments in Australia. The Graduate Certificate of Environmental Management provides postgraduate education for existing and future professionals on the background, principles and practices of environmental management, particularly in the context of wet-dry and semi-arid tropical ecosystems and arid landscapes. The generic skills, concepts and applications covered in this course are also highly relevant to those working in other ecosystems. The course also includes a focus on the social context within which environmental management takes place. Unit selection allows you to focus on ecology, policy, livelihoods and spacial science and their application. This one semester course enables you to select specific units which address your interests and career directions, while also giving you the option to smoothly articulate, with full credit, into the Graduate Diploma or Master of Environmental Management. There are opportunities for intensive units with remote field locations, and there are sometimes international study opportunities available.
