Your guide to UWA’s new coursesKnowledge for a changing world

Dr Michael ChaneyChairman Woodside and National Australia Bank, and Chancellor UWA

Graduates in the modern world need to be aware of a breadth of issues, including how to work in teams and how to accommodate and understand other people’s views. Many students currently come out of universities with specialist knowledge but no understanding of the context of their decisions or anything outside their speciality. The changes being made at UWA respond to this important need.

Hon. Wayne MartinChief Justice

Law, as a professional discipline, is best studied and appreciated in a broader educational context, and with some experience of life and human nature. The new course structure proposed at The University of Western Australia, under which law is to be studied at the postgraduate level, will facilitate this and enhance the educational experience for students. It will also provide those who go on to practise law with a broader educational base which should enable them to better serve the community.

New Courses 2012 is all about expanding horizons. By engaging with education across a broad spectrum of discipline areas the University will enable students to develop a strong foundation based on breadth of knowledge before embarking upon further higher education in specialised professional courses.

Professor Alan RobsonVice-Chancellor UWA

The world is changing rapidly, and so are leading universities. Structures that worked well for many years may not be as appropriate in the future. In today’s fast-paced world, it is impossible to be fully prepared with all the knowledge and skills you will need in the workplace by the time you leave university. The momentum of research and technology has created a world where you must be equipped for further learning in order to succeed. Our new courses will prepare you for tomorrow’s world and allow you to achieve your potential.

Professional degrees for new postgraduate students

From 2012, most professional qualifications will be delivered at postgraduate level, following completion of one of the new

undergraduate courses, or an equivalent qualification from another university. The model of broad undergraduate studies followed by a postgraduate professional qualification is designed to produce well-rounded graduates, as well as provide additional entry opportunities for a wider range of students. The new model will mean that students no longer need to choose a relatively narrow field of study straight after secondary school.

When I list the subjects I have taken during my time at UWA, other students ask enviously: “But how can you do that?” One of the advantages of studying music at UWA is the diversity available. I have been able to pursue my interests in music studies and performance, while having the flexibility to undertake studies in Chinese language, Asian Studies, Anthropology and Sociology. More recently, I have been able to merge my undergraduate studies in my honours project in the study of ethnomusicology. Through encouraging cross-disciplinary scholarship and the acquisition of knowledge in many fields, the UWA School of Music has not only allowed me to become a strong musician, but has also extended and challenged me academically.

Studying music at UWA has given me many opportunities, for example, representing the University by performing on the Western and Chinese flutes as a finalist in the 2008 Chinese Bridge Chinese Proficiency Competition in China.

One of the great things about studying at UWA is the diversity of the students, staff and units. While studying commerce I have been struck by the balance between academic and practical learning. My studies covered issues such as capital markets, investment analysis, corporate finance, statistics and the law. I have participated in activities such as the Deloitte Dream Team, had conference boardroom lunches with the Vice-Chancellor, then again with the executives of BHP Billiton Iron Ore, and have also been involved in mentoring students in Quantitative Methods for Business and Economics. In the summer of 2008/9 I was chosen to be an intern at Macquarie Capital in Sydney, working at a specialist fund with two other students from the Business School. This year I started my honours studies and was awarded the BHP Billiton Honours Scholarship. The advantage of my course is the huge range of options that are available after graduating. Studying business has provided me with many skills that enhance all aspects of my life.

We have the opportunity to design the world around us, to encourage certain behaviours and mentalities in a society. Landscape architects are not artists but we draw new lands. We are not philosophers but we think in many directions. We are not builders but we build the face of the earth. We are not ecologists but the environment matters to us. The creation of new landscapes is our primary concern. This involves the highly creative conscious process that sees a raw concept evolve through the close scrutiny of our own questioning and beliefs. The finished product is a landscape that is steeped in both pragmatics and poetics; something that is both functional and beautiful.

For me, landscape architecture is a social act. One thing is certain; when you graduate from this degree you will possess the ability to create landscapes that will benefit not just the individual but our ever-evolving world.

overview of degreeThe Bachelor of Design will teach you how to devise and produce objects, places, spaces and processes in response to economic, technical and social needs and desires. Creative imagination is central to the course, and as a student you will produce drawings, models and prototypes. The Bachelor of Design will suit students who are interested in the areas of architecture, landscape architecture, fine arts, urban design, engineering and design in general. This degree will be your starting point if you plan to pursue a professional qualification in architecture, landscape architecture or urban design, which can be studied at postgraduate level after completing the Bachelor of Design. Pathways to other professions, including engineering, may also be of interest to design graduates.

What can i study?As a student enrolled in the Bachelor of Design, you can choose to take one or two majors, depending on your professional aspirations. you can choose your major(s) from those listed on this page, or select a second major from one of the many others available in the Arts, Commerce or Science degrees. If you plan to study at postgraduate level to obtain a professional qualification, refer to the entry requirements listed on page 15.

Details about each major can be found on pages 8–13.


Beyond your Bachelor of DesignAs a graduate of the Bachelor of Design you will have the creativity, flexibility, tenacity and technical skills essential for a career in design. The course will teach you to address contemporary issues in an independent and creative way, in order to participate in a most challenging and rewarding vocation. After graduating you may choose to directly enter the workforce or continue your study pathway with a postgraduate qualification such as architecture, landscape architecture or urban design.

I was swept off my feet as soon as I began my studies at UWA. I have chosen to major in Psychology and had the opportunity to choose other exciting units for my first year. Anthropology and Political Science opened my mind to events that have always fascinated me about the world—so much that at one time I thought of changing my major.

Psychology itself has answered some of the questions I have always had about human beings. I have participated in a lot of exciting psychology experiments and I cannot wait until I start doing my own experiments in later years. The units have all been well organised and the lecturers and tutors very helpful.

It’s great to know that the research I’m involved in will result in improved environmental outcomes. One of the strengths of the courses at UWA is that they can be as broad or narrow as you like. I went broad, choosing to combine my interest in languages with environmental science.
