The first units of the new graduate courses in Plant Biosecurity will open for enrolment on 10 February 2010, closing by the end of February. Applications for enrolments can be submitted online at: or see plantbiosecurity.edu.au

Graduates will gain knowledge and understanding of plant biosecurity at levels that are internationally recognised and at the highest level of industry requirements.

All units are taught by lecturers who are specialists in aspects of biosecurity.
All material will be flexibly delivered using the latest on-line technology. Most units will be self-paced and assessment items will use relevant work-place examples. The degrees are aimed at current or prospective members of the biosecurity profession.

If you hold a relevant degree from a recognised university, you will be eligible to enrol directly in the Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma or Masters. If you do not hold a degree but hold relevant professional experience, you may still be eligible to enrol in the Graduate Certificate. You may be required to provide proof of your relevant degree/professional experience.
The cost of each unit will be AUD $2500 except for the Masters Dissertation.
Australian domestic students may be eligible to apply for Fee-Help, for more information see
International students
As the degrees are flexibly delivered, international students can study without leaving home. However, if you are currently or potentially based in Australia, you cannot enrol in the degree because the full external delivery conflicts with Australian student visa requirements.
