Graduate Certificate in Bushfire Protection

Western Sydney University

About

This postgraduate course has been designed primarily as a Distance Learning course.

However, select units (two in total) have intensive block style compulsory workshops that require students to attend.

These workshops may include fieldwork, site visits or industry tours.

Many of the other units have non-compulsory workshops and students are encouraged to attend the workshops to gain the benefit of the face to face interaction within the course.

This course sets a pathway for further learning at Graduate Diploma and Masters levels.
