First semester 2011 will commence in February 2011.

Enrolments in the postgraduate Diploma and Masters of Plant Biosecurity are now open for second semester.
These courses are delivered entirely online, so you can study in the comfort of your own home.

Current students have this to say about the units:

*    Haven’t studied for 15 years & never online, interesting experience & a pleasant return to study.
*    Easy to understand format for  delivery, timelines for study/assignments/quizzes was good.
*    It has been very enjoyable to do the course!
*    The lecture material was very good, very useful!
*    Very relevant and useful.
*    I would certainly recommend the unit to other colleagues and would even suggest that this unit is completed in the first year of service as it provides a fantastic grounding to the big picture of biosecurity.

Applications for enrolments for second semester close on Friday July 23, 2010 and can be completed online at https://onlineapplications.murdoch.edu.au/connect/webconnect.

Enrolments for the Certificate, Diploma and Masters will re-open for 2011 in late 2010.

Please contact Dr Kirsty Bayliss for further information.

Enrolments for new Australian students are also open, for the Diploma and Masters courses only.

For further information please contact Kirsty Bayliss.

Please contact the Academic Chair, Dr Kirsty Bayliss, for more information.

If you are seeking to take units just for interest or need to take only a couple of units to meet professional registration requirements, you would apply for entry to the relevant university as a “non-award” or “continuing education student”, detailing which particular units you want to complete on your application.

If you are currently enrolled in another postgraduate course you can also add units from the plant biosecurity program towards your qualification. This is called “Cross Institutional Enrolment” or “Cross Enrolment”. To apply, you need to first seek permission from the institution where you are enrolled and then submit the relevant forms from your institution to the institution offering the relevant units.

Enrolments in the Certificate must be received on or before February 26. After this date enrolments in this course will re-open in late 2010 (November) for enrolments in first semester 2011.

The University at which you enrol does not limit you to only those units that it teaches, if you enrol at Murdoch to do the units other universities deliver then they are available and will be delivered. This is concept of this program. Multiple universities delivering units for the single program. The university at which you enrol will confer the qualification on completion of the course.

The first step in the process is to apply online for admission to Murdoch University: you should receive a response from the admissions office within two working days. Once you have been accepted for admission you can then proceed to enrol in the units you are taking. You must allow at least five working days for everything to be processed.

If you are enrolling part time and require advice on which units to take please contact me.

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. Alternatively you can contact the Student Liaison Office at Murdoch on 1300 687 3624 from Mon-Fri 8.30am – 4.30pm Western Australian time (extended hours until Feb 26).

If you are intending to enrol but have not yet commenced the online process it would be appreciated if you could please let me know so that I can advise the admissions office to expect your application.

Kind Regards
