Glaze Technology and Research 1 | Federation University

VAGTR5001 Glaze Technology and Research 1

Glaze Technology and Research 1 is the first in a sequence of two courses in the Graduate Diploma of Ceramics devoted to the development and production of a range of ceramic glaze surfaces and associated treatment. Students will develop deeper knowledge of the technicalities of glaze formulation, basic ceramic chemistry and the variants of kiln firing and management. Weekly consultations with studio supervisors, practical demonstrations, and an experimental approach to learning will culminate in an increased understanding and an ability to identify and rectify glaze and firing faults as well as unsuccessful results. Students will have produced the nucleus of an individual, personal glaze palette at the completion of this course.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $1,192
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $997

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
