BIODIVERSITY STUDIES

Coordinated by the School of Tropical Biology, the Graduate Diploma of Science and the Master of Applied Science in Biodiversity Studies examine the methodology used in the study of biodiversity and its importance in conservation and environmental management. Students who wish to emphasise rainforest systems are encouraged to do so.

Prospective students should consult with the Course Coordinator. Within the broad framework of the Award Rules, each student’s program, including weighting of coursework and research, can be tailored to the individual candidate’s background and requirements.
