Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00300K

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 Diploma 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. This two 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 Master of Environmental Management. Unit selection allows you to focus on ecology, policy, livelihoods and spacial science and their application. There are opportunities for intensive units with remote field locations, and there are sometimes international study opportunities available. Graduates of this program are equipped to work within the diverse range of disciplines and sectors involved in effective and sustainable ecosystem management, and are eligible to apply for membership of associations such as the Ecological Society of Australia (ESA) and the Environmental Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ).
