Graduate Diploma in Urban Horticulture at The University of Melbourne

Our environment has many faces: cities, wilderness, agricultural lands, the oceans and everything in between. The Graduate Certificate of Environment has many faces too. It's a 6-month full time (or equivalent part-time) course that gives you the chance to explore a huge range of subjects that span the full breadth of this fascinating and diverse discipline. You'll start to develop specialised knowledge and technical skills in an environmental discipline or field of practice, and graduate with the confidence to use this know-how to create positive changes in our environment.

We live in a world that's increasingly urbanised. Our cities keep growing and our green spaces need to grow with them. Maintaining and improving vegetation in our cities will provide the social, environmental, economic and health benefits that keep our neighbourhoods liveable. Melbourne, like all cities around the world, needs people to design, manage and advocate for greater urban greening and the importance of these green spaces. We're working alongside industry and government to produce urban horticulturists with these necessary skills, and a passion for creativity and sustainability.

The Graduate Diploma of Environment has many faces too. We offer 12 different streams of study, from climate change, to public health, to sustainable cities and more, including a tailored stream that you can design yourself. You'll develop specialised knowledge and technical skills in an environmental discipline or field of practice, and graduate with the confidence to use this know-how to create positive changes in our environment.
