Graduate Diploma in Oceanography

The Graduate Diploma in Physical Oceanography (Program 5528) develops skills in planning and execution of oceanographic experiments, the applications and limitations of oceanographic equipment and of commonly used data analysis techniques. Marine Science is a rapidly developing field and people with the kind of training provided by this diploma are in high demand.

The program is associated with UNSW's leading centre for climate change, the Climate and Environmental Dynamics Laboratory

The program also provides excellent training for further research degrees in oceanography.

The entry qualifications for this program are a degree in Engineering or Science with major studies in mathematics or physics.

The program requires 48 units of credit (UOC) for completion and consists of a major project (OCEA5115) worth 50% of the total credit load, and courses as described below:

Compulsory Courses

  • OCEA5115 Experimental Project (24 UOC)
  • OCEA5125 Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (6 UOC)**
  • OCEA5145 Applied Data Analysis (6 UOC)
Elective Courses
