Students can enrol in a Power Generation program at any of the three partner universities, and upon completing the program will receive their qualification from that institution.

Requirements for the Graduate Diploma of Power Generation are for each student to complete 8 courses made up of 5 core courses and 3 elective courses.

To obtain a Graduate Diploma of Power Generation at CQUniversity a student needs to successfully complete at least 50% of their courses at:

• CQUniversity;

    OR

• Completion of at least three courses offered by CQUniversity where no more than 3 courses taken at any partner university, i.e. 3 units at CQUniversity;  
• 3 units with one partner;
• 2 units at the remaining partner.

Therefore a student has to complete the CQUniversity core course Asset Management Systems, in addition to the four core courses offered by the partner universities. They must also complete three of the following CQUniversity electives: Power Plant Chemistry, Advanced Power Plant, Bulk Materials and Waste Products or Plant Materials.
