$34,232*
International
$36,226*
Commonwealth Supported Place (quotas apply)
$8,921*
Estimated amenities fee per year if studying full-time$351
*The costs will depend on the units you choose to study as the cost of individual units vary. “Estimated fees” are provided as a guide only based on a typical enrolment of students undertaking a study load of 48 credit points in the first year of this course. For courses that require less than 48 credit points the fees indicated are based on the total credit points required for completion of that course. For more information, please see fees and costs.

*Annual course fees only cover the cost of tuition. They do not include other expenses associated with university study such as text books, accommodation and living expenses. If you are successful in gaining admission to study at UNE, the Offer of Admission will list the exact tuition fees you need to pay for your course. Fees quoted cover full-time tuition for two full-time trimesters only. For more information, please see fees and costs.

What are the course fee payment options?

A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is a government subsidised place in a university course. The government pays part of your tuition fees, and you pay the remainder.

If you have a CSP in either an undergraduate or postgraduate (coursework) degree, you may be eligible for a HECS-HELP Loan, which allows you to defer payment of your fees until you are earning above the threshold.

Full Fee places are mostly in postgraduate coursework degrees. In a full fee place you pay the tuition fee set for your course, however you may be eligible for a FEE-HELP Loan to defer payment of your fees until you are earning above the threshold.

If you are enrolled in a Full Fee place and there is a direct connection between your work and your study, you may be able to claim your tuition fees as a tax deduction.

UNE scholarships are open for all to apply and offer financial help while you are studying. There are scholarships for students with high academic achievement, from rural areas, studying specific degrees, in disadvantaged groups, experiencing financial hardship, who excel at sport or want to live in a UNE residential college.

UNE scholarship applications are free and confidential. You may apply for more than one scholarship.

Scholarships

UNE offers bursaries and scholarships that can help you with the costs of studying and living in Australia.

The UNE International Bursary reduces the published annual tuition fees for international students by up to 20%. These bursaries are available for international students commencing coursework studies at UNE in 2024. View detailed Bursary information.

UNE also offers a number of substantial research scholarships to postgraduate students studying research-based degrees.

With upgraded skills and a cross-disciplinary understanding of environmental issues, you will add value to your professional role.

Course outcomes

The Graduate Certificate in Environmental Science will provide graduates with the opportunity to broaden their professional knowledge and management skills in multi-disciplinary competencies related to environmental science and natural resources management.
  1. demonstrate an advanced theoretical and technical knowledge within a chosen discipline of environmental science, including the key environmental challenges, their drivers at various scales, and transdisciplinary approaches to identifying and conceptualising environmental challenges;
  2. demonstrate a specialised understanding of diverse approaches to environmental science and sustainability, including different frameworks of knowing, understanding of their own and others’ values, knowledge, and ethical positions;
  3. conduct advanced scientific investigations to critically analyse and evaluate complex ideas, and apply established theories to identify solutions to complex environmental issues. Demonstrate advanced cognitive and technical skills through designing and evaluating environmental practice for sustainability; addressing research questions by identifying, synthesising and applying appropriate knowledge and evidence from diverse sources;
  4. be effective communicators by disseminating scientific knowledge and concepts to diverse audiences using a range of traditional and contemporary written, oral and visual communication modes; including contexts of a range of knowledge systems and approaches to environmental and sustainability challenges; participating constructively in decision-making consistent with transdisciplinary principles of environmental science and sustainability; and
  5. be responsible and accountable for personal learning and scientific work by demonstrating initiative and independent judgement in specialised contexts; operating with a high level of personal autonomy through reflective practise and responsibility for all aspects of the work or function of others; planning and executing independent research while complying with regulatory frameworks and practising professional ethics relevant to the management of the environment.
Knowledge of a Discipline

Students will be required to read literature on practical, conceptual and theoretical aspects of environmental science and natural resources management. Knowledge is built upon from information gathered from environmental systems throughout the world. Thus teaching will draw upon case studies and examples from ecosystems across the globe.

Communication Skills

Students will be required to express well-organised, logical and clearly written assessment tasks. There is emphasis on the ability to provide clear and accurate descriptions of environmental issues; on writing reports of technical and scientific investigations; and on presenting critical reviews of knowledge.

Problem Solving

Problem solving is taught in the scientific context of researching the issue, formulating hypotheses in environmental science, and drawing conclusions from the results. Many practical assignments are based around this approach. Problem solving skills are also developed in field and laboratory settings where students decide the best approach to performing tasks. This will prepare students' for dealing with and solving high-level and complex real-world problems that arise in environmental science and management.

Information Literacy

Students will be taught how to access the literature (especially online resources), how to evaluate the robustness of literature sources (discrimination skills) and how to critique available information. Students will plan and execute a high-level research capacity in written assignments and utilise a wide range of data resources in such a way that others can learn from them.

Ethical Conduct and Social Responsibility

Students are taught ethical practices in relation to the discipline, including respecting intellectual property rights, ethical behaviour in fieldwork and assessment tasks, and honesty and trust as the basis of the cooperative endeavour of science. Students will be encouraged to act ethically and be socially responsible. These are underlying principles of the discipline of environmental science which reduce, minimise or prevent harm to the environment and its multiple inhabitants. Legal obligations and responsibility will also be integrated into the teaching content.

Lifelong Learning

Students will develop the ability to identify, evaluate and implement personal learning strategies and/or study skills in pursuit of ongoing personal and professional development. Students will continually develop the ability to be responsive to change, have a high-level of personal autonomy and conduct independent research that will be useful to them in a professional workplace.

Independence and Collaboration

Teamwork is used in classes at all levels, especially in practical work in the field and laboratory. Students develop the skills to work cooperatively to define and achieve common goals, to take initiative and to assume responsibility for tasks. Students will learn in a professional forum to discuss, calmly and rationally, ideas and concepts, sometimes controversial and sometimes from different points of view. This, in addition to the ability to use the language of the discipline in reasoned argument, is one of the aims of online discussions.
