Murdoch University

Murdoch University offers single Energy Studies units on a continuing education, professional development, basis to Australian and International students.

Most units are available through Murdoch University from 2002 on a continuing education basis (see above). More than one unit may be taken on a continuing education basis.

This new offering is designed to cater for graduates of any discipline who wish to improve their knowledge in the areas covered by one or more units, as part of their professional development, without completing a full qualification. These units can however be credited towards one of the Murdoch University Energy Studies qualifications at a later stage.

The units are available on a full-fee paying basis only. They are available on campus (for local Australian students only) or nationally (printed or Internet-based materials) and internationally (Internet-based materials only) without needing to attend the campus. Assistance is provided by tutors who will correspond with you by telephone, letter or the Internet.

Further information on application details, fees and deadlines are available by clicking here.

Engineering Education Australia (EEA)

Engineering Education Australia (EEA) offers single Energy Studies units on a full-fee paying basis as part of its professional development for Engineers, either as single units or as part of other Engineering Education Australia qualifications.
