I sent Dr Bridge a letter a while ago regarding this diploma and this is his reply. Hope it's helpful
Dear Peter,
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you - I have just returned from holidays. We had our first cohort of Diploma graduates in May 2004. All 25 graduates to date have either gone on to higher degree studies (PhD, 10, Medicine 1) or commenced work (science based jobs 6, business management 2, high technology finance 2, IP management 3, biotechnology marketing 1). All are successfully pursuing careers that they want rather than simply taking jobs on the basis of limited opportunities - ie. the Diploma has given them choices.
Are you currently studying at UNSW? Enrollment in the Diploma in Innovation Management is restricted to UNSW students entering their 2nd year or a UNSW B.Sc or B.E degree and is internally administered (ie. entry is not through UAC). You should have a look at the AusBiotech Website for information on the Australian biotechnology sector and potential career opportunities

Good luck in making the right career choice
