Graduate Diploma of Ornithology

Admission requirements

Graduate Certificate in Ornithology

Applicants are expected to hold a university degree or five years' minimum relevant experience in a natural resource industry or five years' minimum part-time project experience with a recognised ornithological society or other equivalent experience as deemed appropriate by the Faculty.

Graduate Diploma of Ornithology

As this course is articulated with the Graduate Certificate in Ornithology course, applicants must have completed the Graduate Certificate at a Credit grade average or better.

For both courses, students must also have access to a computer and be competent computer users as they will be required to undertake online literature searches to complete assignments.

English language proficiency

The University has minimum requirements for English language proficiency prior to entry to our courses. Some courses also have a requirement for a higher entry or exit level of English proficiency. More information on English language requirements.

Internet access

CSU places great emphasis on services to its students. It is a leader in the provision of online services and, in particular, the use of the internet in the support of teaching, administration and communications with students.

The online environment is so integrated into all aspects of student life and the learning experience at CSU that the University now assumes that all on campus and distance education students at CSU will have ongoing access to an internet connected computer capable of communicating with CSU online systems.

Students enrolled in Information Technology subjects (i.e. with an ITC subject code) may be required to have additional hardware and/or software that is deemed essential for the completion of the learning activities in that subject.
