(1)
The units of study that may be taken for these awards are set out in the Marine Science and Management degree table. With the approval of the Dean and the program coordinator, candidates for the graduate diploma or master's degree, with special aims or interests, may be allowed to substitute up to 12 credit points with relevant postgraduate units from outside the table.
(2)
It is a requirement of the Masters program that students undertake units of study in a minimum of three of the four available areas of knowledge:
(a)
Marine biology/Biological oceanography
(b)
Marine geosciences/Coastal engineering
(c)
Physical oceanography/Marine engineering
(d)
Environmental Management/sustainability

To qualify for the Graduate Certificate Marine Science and Management a candidate must complete 24 credit points, including:
(a)
12 credit points of core unit of study; and
(b)
12 credit points of elective units of study.
(4)
To qualify for the Graduate Diploma Marine Science and Management a candidate must complete 36 credit points across at least two of the defined areas of knowledge, including:
(a)
24 credit points of core units of study, and
(b)
12 credit points of elective units of study.
(5)
To qualify for the Master of Marine Science and Management coursework pathway a candidate must complete 48 credit points across at least three of the defined areas of knowledge, including:
(a)
24 credit points of core units of study;
(b)
12 credit points of elective units of study taken at the University of Sydney; and
(c)

The University of Sydney, in collaboration with the Sydney Institute of Marine Science, the University of Technology Sydney, the University of New South Wales and Macquarie University, has developed a new and innovative Master program in Marine Science and Management. This interdisciplinary and cross-institutional program is unique in Australia. It has been designed to give students the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge in a range of disciplines in marine science and management. The program includes units in marine ecology and conservation, coastal management and engineering, climate change, biological and physical oceanography, and modelling.
The program is ideal for recent graduates who wish to extend their knowledge and gain new skills in different disciplines of marine science, and for marine and coastal practitioners who require additional training and knowledge in current marine science and management issues, applications and policies.
