STUDY OPTIONS

Choosing your subjects —Subjects are taught as a mix of lectures, tutorials or seminars, laboratory work where appropriate, and individual study. Study Abroad and Exchange students are assessed in the same way as Australian students.

PLANNING A PROGRAM OF STUDY

Study Abroad and Exchange students enrol for one or two sessions as a non-award student at UOW. UOW sessions (semesters) commence in Autumn and Spring (February and July).

If you are studying a postgraduate business program at our Sydney Business School Sydney or Wollongong Campus, your sessions are trimesters and start in February , May and August.

After receiving your offer letter from UOW, you are required to submit a UOW Study Plan. Your proposed subjects will then be assessed based on your academic background prior to your arrival. Every effort will be made to obtain approval of your selected subjects, however this is not guaranteed. You’ll need to be flexible with your subject selection, and be prepared with additional subjects choices. Academic advice on your study program is available from UOW staff during orientation week. We advise that you bring a current transcript of your academic record from your home university or college, as well as subject outlines and descriptions. It is your responsibility to ensure that the proposed program will earn the credits needed to satisfy the degree requirements of your home university or college.

CHOOSING SUBJECTS

The subject information in this prospectus should be used as a guide only. For further information on subjects please go to uow.edu.au/handbook and select “Subject Descriptions” from the menu.

You can choose by the subject codes on pages 17–23, or by entering part of a subject name.

Undergraduate students choose subject codes between 100–400 (i.e. 1st – 4th year subjects).

Postgraduate students choose subject codes between 800–900.

You can study postgraduate subjects if you have completed the recognised equivalent of undergraduate studies at your home institution.

Check for prerequisites as some subjects require that you have taken an equivalent subject or number of credits from your home university.

To give yourself some flexibility with timetabling during enrolment, you should obtain approval in advance for five or six subjects per session.

SUBJECT AVAILABILITY

When choosing subjects, note that many subjects at the Wollongong campus are ONLY offered in either Autumn or Spring session.

Postgraduate business subjects are offered by UOW’s Sydney Business School at the Wollongong and Sydney campuses on a trimester system. Trimesters begin in February, May, and August. Students enrol in three subjects (18 credit points) per trimester. Students must decide whether they wish to study at the Wollongong or Sydney campus, and only select subjects available at that campus. Students cannot select subjects in a Wollongong or Sydney-based program that includes both trimesters and semesters.

ASSESSMENT

The assessment details for each subject are available under “Subject Information” at uow.edu.au/handbook.

A comprehensive syllabus outlining assessment and other expectations is provided to students in the first lecture of each subject.

THE GRADING SYSTEM:

High Distinction (HD): 85–100% Distinction (D): 75–84% Credit (C): 65–74% Pass (P): 50–64% Fail (F): 0–49% Technical Fail (TF): 0%

The transfer of grades to your home university varies for each home college or institution.

WORKLOAD

Study Abroad and Exchange students must enrol in a minimum of 18 credit points (usually equivalent to three subjects) and a maximum of 32 credit points (usually equivalent to four subjects) per semester (three is the maximum number of subjects per postgraduate business trimester) to meet the requirements of a student visa.

Your home institution may separately require that you enrol in a minimum of four subjects per semester.

In determining your individual program, you should note that:

– subjects are offered on a credit point basis

– a normal full-time course load is 48 credit points over two sessions, or 24 credit points for one session (in either Autumn or Spring session), or 12 credit points in Summer session.

One credit point has an implied workload of two hours per week. Six credit points represents a minimum of 12 hours of work: this may be three hours of lectures, four hours of reading and five hours of personal study or essay writing. Many full-time students will spend fewer than 15 hours a week in contact with lecturers or tutors but will be expected to prepare for these classes with reading and tutorial preparation.

Australian universities require students to be self-directed in their study and to submit a considerable amount of written work in assignments and seminar or tutorial papers.

TRANSCRIPTS

Transcripts of your UOW subject results are issued by the University at the end of each session, and provide details of the subjects completed and final mark and grade awarded. Official transcripts are sent to your home university or program provider for credit transfer.

Choosing your program —Study Abroad and Exchange programs are designed for international undergraduate or postgraduate students who wish to spend one or two semesters in a program of study at the University of Wollongong and transfer the credits to their home institution. For application procedure information see page 25.

STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM

The Study Abroad program is designed to welcome students to UOW from both formally recognised study abroad partners and non-affiliated institutions for one or two semesters.

Study Abroad students pay tuition fees directly to UOW for their program of study at UOW.

INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM

The University of Wollongong has established formal exchange agreements with a number of leading universities worldwide to study at UOW for one or two semesters. This program allows a limited number of students to enrol each session. Exchange students are not required to pay tuition fees to UOW. Refer to the list of exchange partners on pages 26-27, and contact your home university for more information.

BUSINESS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM The Work Integrated Learning subject, COMM391 Business Internship is designed for students undertaking any Business or Commerce degree, and provides an opportunity for students to integrate and apply their university knowledge in an industry context. Students accepted into the Business Internship Program are required to enrol in at least one other subject from the Faculty of Business along with COMM391, and one or two other UOW subjects to make up a full-time study load. More information on the COMM391 Business Internship Program can be found at business.uow.edu.au/internship

VISITING RESEARCH PROGRAM

The Visiting Research Program is designed for students undertaking research at either undergraduate or postgraduate level who are currently enrolled full-time at an overseas university and wish to obtain research experience with a UOW research team. This program is usually between three and six months in duration and must be a formal requirement for the degree at the student’s home university. Securing a UOW academic supervisor is the responsibility of the applicant. Participants must contact the relevant UOW faculty or school to gain the support of member of UOW academic staff to supervise their project.
