| Course Classification(s) | AdvancedAdvanced courses are designed for students having reached 'first degree' level of assumed knowledge, which provide a deep understanding of contemporary issues; or 'second degree' and higher levels of knowledge; or for transition to research training programs. and SpecialistSpecialist courses are designed for students having reached 'first degree' level of assumed knowledge, which provide for the acquisition of specialist skills; or 'second degree' and higher level of knowledge; or for transition to research training programs; or knowledge associated with professional accreditation. |
| Areas of Interest | Earth and Marine Sciences |
| Eligibility | Bachelor degree; with first year Maths. |
| Requisite Statement |
The course is aimed primarily at students with background in Physics and Mathematics, although it will be self contained. Knowledge of linear algebra will be an advantage. Some computer programming experience will also be very helpful. Maths to a first year level is required. |
