Overview The Graduate Diploma of Marine Science and Management employs a collaborative structure based at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS) to develop the first broad-based, multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional marine postgraduate program offered by major Australian universities.

Marine Science and Management captures a wide diversity of disciplines. The marine environment acts as a unifying theme across these diverse disciplines, both historically and in current practice. The impact of the marine environment is especially important in Australia given the importance of our sea and coasts for much of the nation's social and economic activities (e.g., 80% of the population lives within 100 km of the coast, etc.). The importance of marine science is reflected by the establishment of major marine institutes in Australia and across the world (e.g., CSIRO Marine, The Australian Institute of Marine Science, Scripps Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory, etc.). The success of these institutions confirms that there is a coherent body of knowledge that needs to be taught under the unified banner of 'Marine Science and Management'. However, there is not currently a multidisciplinary postgraduate coursework program in marine science taught by major Australian universities. The proposed Graduate Diploma of Marine Science and Management is designed to fill this gap. Specifically, the aims of the course are: To give students a broad background in key discipline areas of marine science and management. To give students familiarity with cutting-edge research in marine science and management. To allow for study in a discipline area of choice. To provide a variety of essential skills relevant to marine science and management. To provide students with some skills to interface effectively with policymakers, government and industry The Graduate Diploma of Marine Science and Management employs a collaborative structure based at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS) to develop the first broad-based, multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional marine postgraduate program offered by major Australian universities. It will be taught across four of the SIMS member universities (MQ, UNSW, UTS and U Syd). The units of study offered in the MQ version of the program encompass the main disciplines of marine science (marine biology, geosciences, marine chemistry, remote sensing technologies, coastal management, conservation biology, biodiversity, statistics and law). A number of these units, particularly BIOL8770, take advantage of newly built teaching facilities at SIMS, and exploit the expertise of the 80+ marine scientists associated with SIMS.
