The Undergraduate Certificate in Fermentation aims to prepare graduates to become creative, ethical, adaptable and industry-aware with the skills and knowledge sought after by the fermentation industry. It will also provide a foundation for establishing home-based fermentation activities such as brewing beer, making cheese, and creating a fine wine. The course content has been developed in consultation with industry experts and they are actively involved in its delivery.
Completion of the Undergraduate Certificate in Fermentation will enable you to:
- apply scientific theory in contemporary industry practice
- commence employment or enhance career opportunities
- transition into further study, with credit into an Associate Degree in Applied Science
Practical experience
Practice-based, experiential learning and portfolio development is a key component of the Undergraduate Certificate in Fermentation. In order to develop key transferable practitioner skills, students are exposed to authentic and engaging learning experiences designed to develop their understanding of work and the workplace. The work-based components will be tailored to individual student circumstances. Students with current employment will be encouraged to apply and complete relevant assessments within their work environment. At a minimum, students without access to a relevant work environment will be provided with authentic simulated experiences.
Students are introduced to (i) different methods of and approaches to practice, (ii) how issues such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership are reflected in the workplace and (iii) the role of reflection and deliberative thinking in developing workplace-based knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations.
