course overview
Course participants will be exposed to current investigative best practice, the physics of fire behaviour and theories of deviance associated with fire setting.
Assessment topics will encourage students to apply theory to practice and exercise best practice in their own investigations.
Professional recognition
These courses are nationally accredited and registered awards in tertiary education.
Credit and articulation
The Graduate Certificate in Fire Investigation fully articulates with the Graduate Diploma of Fire Investigation, which fully articulates with the Master of Arts (Fire Investigation).
The course is currently subject to review and some subjects may change, but this will not inconvenience students' progress in the program.
Admission requirements
Applicants should hold an appropriate undergraduate degree or qualification from a recognised tertiary institution or have appropriate industry experience in an appropriate investigative or fire fighting field.
Given the sensitive nature of material contained in this course, admission will be limited to practitioners in the field of fire investigation who have a demonstrated vocational need to undertake the program. This may include such occupations as loss assessors, insurance investigators, park rangers, fire fighters and the like.
Academic expectations
For each 8 point subject at CSU, students should normally expect to spend between 140-160 hours engaged in the specified learning and assessment activities (such as attending lectures or residential schools, assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, assignments or examinations). The student workload for some subjects may vary from these norms as a result of approved course design.
Students will be assessed on the basis of completed assignments, examinations, workplace learning, or other methods as outlined in specific subject outlines.
Where applicable, students are responsible for travel and accommodation costs involved in workplace learning experiences, or attending residential schools (distance education students).
