The Graduate Certificate in Medicine (Skin Cancer) is a coursework program designed to provide comprehensive training in the diagnosis and management of skin cancer in both the primary care and specialist settings. It is designed for medical practitioners, nurses and clinician-scientists who work in the field of skin cancer. Upon completion, graduates will have an in-depth understanding of the behaviour of skin cancer in the context of its genesis, physiology, microanatomy and epidemiology as well as its diagnosis clinically, dermatoscopically and dermatopathologically. Principles of biopsy and definitive management, based on sound diagnostic and surgical practice will also be competently understood. The program is delivered entirely online.

Urban and regional planning is about improving the quality of cities and regions. Professional planners assist communities, companies and governments to integrate the environmental, economic and social aspects of development from small sites up to whole regions. Planning deals with strategic work (long-range planning) as well as structural and statutory components in relation to built and natural environments and the legislative framework controlling land use. Accordingly, planning is closely allied with commerce, government, sociology, communities and the ecology disciplines. The Master of Urban and Regional Planning was the first masters level program in Queensland to be recognised by the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA). It produces professionally competent graduates, familiar with the concepts, ideas and techniques of planning. Courses typically emphasise the acquisition of skills through small scale exercises or practical project work but fits these within a wider intellectual framework of design and public policy. Opportunities are available for a research investigation through an advanced research project.

This program equips graduate entry students with the theoretical knowledge, practical application and professional attributes necessary for a career in occupational health and safety. The program addresses well established industry hazards (chemical, physical, mechanical, biological and psychosocial) within the context of the core OHS disciplines - Occupational Hygiene, Ergonomics, Occupational Health, Safety Science and Risk Management. In addition students will be required to conduct industry based research. This degree is accredited by the Australian Occupational Health and Safety Education Accreditation Board. Completion of the degree will assist graduates in achieving membership, and subsequent professional certification with the Safety Institute of Australia.
