Step 3

Get to know the language

TermMeaning

Handbook

The Handbook sets out the requirements for bachelor degrees, as well as the majors and units available for study each session.

Faculty

The University is divided into five key subject areas called faculties. Each degree and unit falls under one of the five faculties. To see what faculty in which a degree or unit falls, visit the Handbook.

  1. Faculty of Science and Engineering (FOSE)
  2. Faculty of Business and Economics (FOBE)
  3. Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FOMHS)
  4. Faculty of Human Sciences (FOHS)
  5. Faculty of Arts (FOA)

Credit
point

Each unit is worth a specified number of credit points. This indicates the amount of work required in the unit. Each credit point reflects 3 hours of work – so a 3 credit point unit would require 9 hours of work (in class and at home) each week. An undergraduate unit is worth 3 credit points.

Unit

A unit is a subject studied within a degree. An undergraduate unit is worth 3 credit points. The letters represent the subject area of the unit and can be found in the Handbook.

The first number represents the year level and level of understanding required for this unit.

Psyc is the subject area, and 104 is the year level

For example, AHIS118 Latin A, is a 100 level unit for Ancient Languages.

Upon the successful completion of this unit, you will have the knowledge to attempt higher level units. For example, AHIS219 Latin B.

Prerequisite

Units or a requirement that must be met for you to enrol in a unit.

PACE
unit

Professional and community engagement is known as PACE. Students must complete at least one PACE unit in their degree. PACE units provide the opportunity to use academic studies in a real life context through practical experience such as an internship, community projects and fieldwork both locally or internationally.

Session

The academic year is divided into sessions.

  • Session 1: First half of the year.
    • February - June
  • Session 2: Second half of the year.
    • August - December
  • Session 3: An optional session run over summer for those wishing to fast track their degree.
