BUILDING SCIENCE DIPLOMA COURSE

The University of Sydney will introduce a new course leading to a diploma in building science at the beginning of 1966. There is already a course that leads to the degree of master of building science. Both courses provide lectures on recent developments at an advanced level.

Candidates for the new diploma will take four of six subjects: architectural structures, building materials, building services, functional efficiency of building, history of building science and scientific methods in building. Candidates for the master’s degree take all six subjects and also submit a thesis On an original investigation.

The diploma course is open to any university graduate interested in building science and to qualified architects

and engineers who do not possess a university degree. But only graduates in architecture engineering or science from universities and certain institutes of technology may become candidates for the master’s degree. Both diploma and master’s courses may be taken by fulltime or evening study. The university provides a limited number of scholarships for full-time study to candidates with good academic qualifications-
