Graduate Diploma in Wine Technology and Viticulture - Distance - The University of Melbourne Dookie Campus - I3450

The Graduate Diploma in Wine Technology and Viticulture has been developed for employees in the viticulture and oenology sectors of the wine industry, people currently employed in different careers who wish to gain employment in the wine industry or people who are operating their own vineyard or winery.

The first year of study introduces students to the science of viticulture and wine. An integrated approach to viticulture and oenology exposes students to all operations undertaken throughout the yearly cycle on a vineyard and in a winery. The second year combines advanced studies in viticulture and oenology with a special investigatory subject allowing students to further explore specific areas of interest within the wine industry.

This course is offered by distance education. Students receive learning guides via the subject website and attend a residential school at Dookie Campus for most subjects. The flexible nature of this program allows easy access for professionals, remote and international students.
