University of Tasmania, Hobart/Launceston, TAS, Australia
About this program
This combined award pairs a PhD in Quantitative Marine Science with the Graduate Diploma of Marine and Antarctic Science (S6Z) at the University of Tasmania, delivered through the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS). The one-year Graduate Diploma provides a coursework foundation with a choice of Fisheries Management or Marine Biology streams, combining marine science with a focus on the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, and includes study-trip units extending learning into Australia's largest fisheries, aquaculture and seafood industries. Coursework comprises four core units (50%) and four specialisation units (50%). Graduates may progress into the Master of Marine and Antarctic Science, and the course is a recognised pathway toward a research higher degree such as a PhD.

Admissions
Domestic applicants must have a Bachelor of Marine and Antarctic Science from the University of Tasmania, or an equivalent qualification from an Australian university (for example, a Bachelor of Science majoring in a life science such as biology, environmental science, zoology, plant science, marine biology or ecology). For the Governance and Policy specialisation, applicants may instead hold a bachelor's degree in a governance and policy field with evidence of relevant life-science units at undergraduate level. International applicants need qualifications equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree and must meet the same course-specific requirements, prerequisite subjects and English language requirements.
