Centre for Excellence in Outdoor and Environmental EducationGraduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate in Outdoor and Environmental Education
Handbook Entry -
The Graduate Diploma in Outdoor and Environmental Education is intended for graduates from any discipline who seek a one-year outdoor and environmental education qualification, or for three-year graduates seeking a fourth year of study. Some Graduates of the course, which was first offered in 1988, work in the commercial sector, in land management, or in community services. Some students have continued on to the Master of Outdoor and Environmental Education. Those who already have a teaching qualification, or subsequently complete the Diploma of Education (Secondary) - work in school outdoor and environmental education programs in Australia and overseas, many holding senior positions. Students have come from all parts of Australia and from Scandinavia, North America, and Asia . The course draws on the Centre of Outdoor and Environment's extensive offerings of units from its undergraduate courses. The course has a substantial practical component, including field trips and expeditions; most students complete more than 50 days in the field. The course begins in mid-February, (two weeks prior to the undergraduate courses), with some core classes taken in block mode and initial practical work. Thereafter students join classes and practical trips with the Schools' 300+ undergraduate students. Students accepted into the course are expected to be highly motivated and to have established, organised, study habits. The course has long-established reputation for combining challenging theory with depth of practical experience.

Typically students complete 4 core units and 4 elective units. Exemption may be given from some core subjects. Students may exit the course with a Graduate Certificate after completing four units.
