Centre for Integrated Human Studies

The Graduate Certificate and Diploma courses combine coursework and research in a range of interdisciplinary areas related to human wellbeing in a sustainable environment.

Coursework units introduce students to Integrated Human Studies and its associated methodologies, while the research component allows students to conduct their own interdisciplinary investigations by putting what they have learnt into practice. The first four units comprise the Certificate, with the remainder making up the full Diploma.

This course may lead on to further studies in the Master of Integrated Human Studies.
