Overview
This is a collaborative program from Ecotourism and Cultural Tourism. Coursework will be jointly taught for the components on interpretation. The science topics will be delivered through the Faculty of Science and Engineering, with an emphasis on basic theory and practical field skills. This course will cover the concepts, techniques and implementation of interpretation, as well as biodiversity assessment and conservation strategies.
It aims to further increase the understanding of the theoretical and practical skills, acquired during the Graduate Certificate in Tourism (Interpretation), that are required to develop appropriate management strategies in this area, and develop knowledge of the scientific method, applied research skills in science, and knowledge of particular groups of organisms and/or ecosystems.
This program provides an articulated pathway in postgraduate studies in tourism with exit points at Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Masters level.
