Graduate Diploma of Emergency and Disaster Management

Based in the capital of Australia's Northern Territory, at the centre of the 'Top End' and Australia's gateway to Indonesia and Southeast Asia, this highly unique postgraduate program focuses on a geographic region that is unarguably the most prone to, and affected by various types of disasters. The Graduate Diploma of Emergency and Disaster Management will equip you with the skills and ability to apply your knowledge and experience appropriately, collaboratively and productively in this vulnerable region and other parts of the world. You will graduate with essential knowledge and skills to lead and manage all phases of the disaster management cycle, as well as the confidence to apply your academic studies to practical responses and report on your professional experience into the academic sphere of this rapidly evolving sector. This in-depth course promotes its uniqueness in three areas: its focus on Asia-Pacific Region; its informed practice and research; its multi-sectoral approach. This course is available for study in both full-time and part-time modes. Students can choose to study on campus (face-to-face) or fully online, providing flexibility to suit diverse learning needs and life circumstances. This course is a pathway into and exit from the Master of Emergency and Disaster Management and the Graduate Certificate of Emergency and Disaster Management is a pathway into and exit from this program.
