INTERNATIONAL CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE IN WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT (ICE WaRM)

Chifley has formed a partnership with the International Centre of Excellence in Water Resources Management (ICE WaRM) to provide professionals in water resources management with a general management award.

Graduates from the ICE WaRM postgraduate program receive advanced standing into the APESMA MBA and nested Chifley postgraduate programs.

Award

Participants who successfully complete an ICE WaRM postgraduate program will be eligible for credit into Chifley Postgraduate Programs (Technology Management) and nested postgraduate programs.

Students who elect to take out the Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma and wish to return to complete their MBA at a later time will be required to rescind the previous award before the higher qualification can be awarded.

Vocational Graduate Certificate in Physical Asset Management

The Vocational Graduate Certificate in Physical Asset Management (VGC) is delivered in conjunction with GHD and is aligned with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). At the completion of this course, participants will receive a nationally recognised qualification that acknowledges their professional skills as asset managers.

The award is issued by GHD and Chifley provides the student administration services for this program in Australia and New Zealand.

Upon completion of the VGC program, students are eligible to receive credit into ICE WaRM’s Master of Water Resources Management.

Further information on the VGC program is available here.
