208-815 Special Studies in Viticulture or Oenology
This is an individualised subject that enables students to pursue studies in greater depth of particular aspects of viticulture and/or oenology not otherwise covered in the normal subjects offered within the Graduate Diploma in Wine Technology and Viticulture.
The objective of the subject is to assist students to:
• Acquire specialist skills appropriate to an area of viticulture or oenology;
• Develop greater depth or breadth of knowledge in a particular area of viticulture or oenology; and
• Develop industry contact in the area of special study.
A proposed study program of a previously approved study area, must be devised with a specific lecturer and approved by the coordinator. The program must demonstrate: availability of expertise within the Faculty or from the Wine Industry to provide guidance to the student, feasibility of the study within the constraints of resources and time, necessity of the study to the student’s overall academic objectives, limits of the study in topics and depth of study, industry input necessary to complete the study, the level of academic rigor is appropriate to graduate diploma level, and methods of assessment.
This subject is taught by Ashley Wheaton .
