Course structure
The Graduate Certificate in Wine Technology and Viticulture will require the completion of three compulsory subjects and one elective subject of course work over a minimum of 12 months.
The three core subjects introduce students to the science of viticulture and wine. The two winegrowing subjects take an integrated approach to viticulture and oenology, and on completion students will have reviewed all operations undertaken throughout the yearly cycle on a vineyard and in a winery.
Attendance at residential schools is required for successful completion of core subjects and further learning and assessments will be undertaken online. The work undertaken during the school is generally worth 20% of the final assessment.
Each residential school is one week long and provides the opportunity to complete practical sessions in the laboratories and tasting facilities. A tour to vineyards and wineries may also be incorporated into residential schools.
All three core subjects in the Graduate Certificate in Wine Technology and Viticulture are offered as residential with follow up distance education. For each subject students will receive:
- Access to the subject website
- Online course notes
- Residential School Practical Book
Throughout their course students will have access to subject coordinators and other relevant staff via phone and email. During the residential school students will have access to the following facilities:
- Tasting room
- Classroom
- Accommodation and recreational facilities
