With more than 135 years of excellence in education, the University of Adelaide is one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious tertiary institutions.

Since its establishment in 1874, the University has developed a reputation for excellence in teaching, learning and research, with major strengths in agriculture, wine and food, biological sciences, physical sciences, health sciences, information technology and telecommunications, environmental sciences and social sciences.

The University is associated with five Nobel Prize winners, has produced 102 Rhodes Scholars and 104 Fulbright Scholars, and is a member of the Group of Eight – Australia’s leading research-intensive universities.

With more than 20,000 students and over 2,800 staff, the University is small enough to provide personal interaction with teaching staff, yet large enough to offer a broad range of programs and student support services.

At the heart of the University’s vision is a belief that the experience of the student is fundamental, and that research and high quality teaching have a symbiotic relationship that underpins and characterises the finest universities in the world.

The University of Adelaide is committed to producing graduates recognised worldwide for their creativity, knowledge and skills, as well as their culture and tolerance.

An International OutlookThe University of Adelaide is strongly committed to international education. It admitted its first international students more than 60 years ago.

Today, nearly 5,500 international students from more than 90 countries make up approx-imately 28 per cent of the student population, including students enrolled at the Ngee-Ann Adelaide Education Centre in Singapore. This is a partnership between the University of Adelaide and the Ngee-Ann Kongsi, a highly respected and long established foundation actively involved in educational, cultural and welfare activities in Singapore.

The University accounts for some 27 per cent of international enrolments at all South Australian higher education providers (DEEWR Higher Education Statistics 2008).

A truly international outlook requires two-way exchange, and the University has many formal agreements for student and staff exchange, research collaboration and other forms of cooperation with leading universities, research institutes and academies around the world.

A Progressive InstitutionFrom the start, the University of Adelaide has been one of Australia’s most progressive institutions. It was the first Australian university to admit women to academic programs – in 1881, ahead of Oxford (1920) and Cambridge (1948).

Adelaide was the first Australian university to grant degrees in science, and the first to establish a Conservatorium of Music. Adelaide graduated Australia’s first woman surgeon (Laura Margaret Fowler), the first woman elected to a university council in Australia (Helen Mayo), and the first Australian woman to be a Queen’s Counsel, South Australian Supreme Court Judge, Chancellor of an Australian university and Governor of an Australian State (Dame Roma Mitchell).

“ I chose the University of Adelaide because so many things appealed to me – the location, village-like atmosphere, and the emphasis on practical learning. Australia’s culture and environment has always fascinated me and the chance to be part of a tertiary exchange was an opportunity of a lifetime. It has definitely broadened my horizons and it’s been great to meet other exchange students and ‘real Aussies’.”

With a pleasant climate, thriving economy, dynamic cultural scene and affordable cost of living, South Australia offers an enviable lifestyle in an environment that is ideal for study.

Home to many indigenous groups for thousands of years before European settlement began in 1836, Adelaide has since welcomed migrants from all over the world and is characterised by a great diversity of cultural traditions, languages spoken, and systems of belief.

The state of South Australia boasts a stable economy and low unemployment rate, with a broad base of thriving industries, including agriculture, wine, information and communications technology, automotive production, defence, biosciences, health, tourism and the arts.

Australia’s fifth largest city, Adelaide has over 1.2 million people, a population comparable to that of cities such as Amsterdam and Copenhagen. Adelaide has all of the advantages of a major city but few of the inconveniences.

Adelaide is situated on a fertile plain flanked by the natural beauty of the Adelaide Hills and 22 kilometres of white sandy beaches within easy reach of the city.

Adelaide is a very safe, relaxed and affordable place to live. The Economist Intelligence Unit’s 2009 Liveability Survey ranked Adelaide in the top 10% of more than 140 cities, and Mercer Consulting’s 2009 Cost of Living Survey found Adelaide to be the most affordable city in Australia.

The cost of living in Adelaide is up to 24% less than Sydney, 21% less than Melbourne, and 8% less than Perth and Brisbane.

University Accommodation Servicewww.adelaide.edu.au/accommodation/

Finding comfortable accommodation, in a convenient location with the right people, is important but can take time, so international students are advised to begin considering their options well before they arrive in Adelaide.

Adelaide boasts a wide range of accommodation options to suit different budgets and tastes, including University managed accommodation, residential colleges, student hostels, private rental and share housing.

University managed accommodation and residential colleges offer many advantages, as they are close to campus and offer furnished rooms with electricity, gas and water all included in the cost. If University or college accommodation does not suit individual circumstances, students can contact the friendly team at the Accommodation Service who will be pleased to help them find an alternative with the benefit of local knowledge.

Temporary Accommodation ServiceAll international students are guaranteed one week of single room temporary accommodation upon arrival (a fee applies). This service is provided by the International Student Centre and must be arranged before you arrive in Adelaide.

Accommodation for FamiliesStudents accompanied by family members will find that private rental accommodation in houses or apartments is the most suitable accommod-ation option. It can be easier for students to come

to Adelaide alone initially in order to arrange suitable permanent family accommodation. Spouses and children who arrive later can then move directly into permanent accommodation without requiring temporary arrangements.

RESIDENTIAL COLLEGES

www.adelaide.edu.au/accommodation/colleges/

Average cost: A$305-345/wk (includes utilities and most meals)

The University of Adelaide is affiliated with five privately managed residential colleges across Adelaide. Each college enjoys a long history of academic success together with a strong reputation for developing community leaders and a proud alumni tradition.

Colleges offer fully catered accommodation where most meals and a weekly room clean are incorporated into the accommodation fee. They are located close to the city within a 15-20 minute walk from the North Terrace Campus and a 15-25 minute bus or bicycle ride from Thebarton and Waite campuses.

College options include: Aquinas College, Lincoln College, St Ann’s College, St Mark’s College and Kathleen Lumley College (only for postgraduate and mature age students). All colleges are coeducational.

PRIVATE RENTAL AND SHARE HOUSING

www.adelaide.edu.au/accommodation/options/private/

Average cost: A$110-$390/wk (does not include utilities)

Renting a house or apartment can be a less expensive option, particularly if sharing with others; however, students will need to factor in to their budget additional costs such as food, electricity, gas, telephone and furniture.

Students are advised to conduct some research into the local private rental market before arriving in Adelaide and to begin their search for appropriate rental housing shortly after arrival, as the process can take time.

The University Accommodation Service will help students find private accommodation through the Private Rental Database, which is updated daily and free of charge. Students are encour-aged to contact the University Accommodation Service for more information at any time.

Rental costs vary depending on location, quality and size, with prices generally decreasing as you move further from the city centre. Leases are usually for six or twelve months, with a refund-able bond of four to six weeks rent in advance.

STUDENT HOSTELS

www.adelaide.edu.au/accommodation/options/hostels/

Average cost: A$120-$240/wk

Student hostels usually offer single bedroom accommodation, with some offering a limited number of twin, double and triple share rooms. Each bedroom is fully furnished with access to a shared bathroom, laundry, lounge and recreational activities. Gas, electricity and water are generally included in the set fee.

Most hostels are located in suburban areas of Adelaide so students will need to budget for public transport costs. Hostels offer different lengths of stay varying from daily, weekly, three, six or twelve-month leases or on a semester/academic year basis. Hostels are not affiliated with the University, and students must apply directly to the hostel of their choice.

HOMESTAY

Average cost: A$180-$250/wk

Living in a home with a local person or family can be a great way to experience and learn more about the Australian way of life. Homestay usually includes a furnished room, two or three meals per day and all expenses besides personal items and telephone calls. Homestay should be organised independently of the University Accommodation Service.

ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS

PLEASE NOTEFigures are average estimates only, and do not include bonds/security deposits. Students should contact the relevant accommodation provider for actual costs.

International applicants need to consider a range of financial issues, including the cost of living, health insurance and tuition fees, before applying to the University.

Planning a BudgetAdelaide is one of Australia’s more affordable cities, with average weekly expenses lower than Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane*. Accommodation is the largest variable expense – it can cost anywhere from around A$110 for shared private accommodation outside of the city centre, to A$200 for University-managed accommodation within the city centre, or A$250 for private sole occupancy accommodation.

There can be large set-up costs associated with private accommodation which can be avoided by choosing University-managed accommodation.

* Source: Economist Intelligence Unit, 2009

Application FeeAn application fee of A$100 must accompany the University of Adelaide Undergraduate Application Form. An exemption may apply for government/externally-sponsored students.

Tuition FeesInternational students are required to pay international student tuition fees, which cover the cost of teaching and many student support services. The Indicative Annual Tuition Fee quoted in this prospectus is based on the standard full-time enrolment load of 24 units per year or 12 units per semester. The quoted fee is a base fee that will be subject to a discretionary annual increase for each of the subsequent years in the program for the duration published in this prospectus.

Each student will be advised of their fee schedule in their offer of admission to the University. Fees may vary depending on

enrolment load; if students ‘overload’ or ‘underload’, fees may be increased or decreased accordingly.

New international students are required to pay a tuition fee deposit of A$9,000 when accepting an offer of admission. The payment will be counted as credit towards tuition fees in the first enrolment period.

After enrolment, students are invoiced for the balance of their fees in that enrolment period. The University invoices you (or your sponsor) each enrolment period according to your enrolment load.

Study Related CostsAll students should allow at least A$500 per year for textbooks and basic study materials. Depending on the program, other costs may include specialist equipment (e.g. laboratory coats, microscopes, stethoscopes), optional supplementary reading and academic program materials, field trips, and expenses such as thesis preparation, printing and binding.

Health and MedicalInternational students and their dependants are required to have health insurance in Australia through the Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) scheme. The University’s preferred provider of OSHC is OSHC Worldcare. Visit:www.oshcworldcare.com.au/default.aspx

The University requires all international students to have OSHC for the duration of their program at the time of admission. At the time of publication, twelve months of OSHC basic cover was A$390 for a single student and A$780 for a family.

OSHC covers up to 100% of the scheduled fee for most medical services and 100% of the scheduled fees in hospitals and emergency ambulance. Students may consider taking out additional insurance for extras such as dental work, physiotherapy and optometry.

This should be viewed as a guide only for a single student. Costs can vary significantly from one student to another. These are basic living costs at the time of publication and do not include program tuition fees, costs for textbooks, other study related needs, running a car, medical expenses, or any luxuries.

* Accommodation costs vary significantly based on location, type and arrangement. For example, centrally located accommodation generally costs more than in the outer suburbs. Similarly, students can lower their accommod-ation costs by sharing with other students - the lower end of the price range shown above is mostly shared accommodation.

# Gas and electricity often included in University managed accommodation.

Students with FamiliesStudents who bring their families with them to Australia will need to take into account additional costs associated with health cover, housing, food, transport, childcare and educational expenses. School attendance is compulsory for all children aged six to fifteen, with most children starting school at five years of age. Children may attend government oper-ated schools or independent schools. For information and advice for international stud-ents with families, visit: www.international.adelaide.edu.au/living/family/

All schooling services attract a fee. At the time of printing, the fees for government operated schools were A$3,600 per year for primary school (from reception to year 7) and A$4,500 per year for secondary school (from years 8 to 12). These fees include intensive English language development and support if required. A registration fee is charged per family. This is currently A$500 in the first year and A$300 in subsequent years.

Dependent children of holders of Australian Commonwealth Government Scholarships (such as those available through AusAID) and University of Adelaide research scholarships may enrol in government operated primary or secondary schools without paying tuition fees. Service fees may apply and range from A$200-$900 per annum.

For details see: www.internationalstudents.sa.edu.au/pages/dependants/

Part-time WorkMany international students and their depend-ants hope to obtain part-time work to supple-ment funds for living costs. It may be possible to secure employment; however, we advise that students should not rely on part-time work for essential expenses, as obtaining a job is not guaranteed and can take time.

Students should also be aware that the workload for many programs is intense and students may not have the time to hold employment as well as study full-time.

Under current visa regulations students have the right to work after studies in Australia have commenced. Students may work up to 20 hours per week during term time, and unrestricted hours during published University holidays.

The Australian Government imposes certain restrictions on the employment of dependants or spouses of people holding student visas.

For more information on working while studying go to: www.diac.gov.au/students/students/working_while_studying/conditions.htm

Refund PolicyAll applicants must read the policy on Refunds and Adjustments before accepting an offer of admission. The policy complies with all of the requirements for tuition fee refunds stipulated in the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000, associated Australian Government regulations, and the ESOS National Code of Practice (2007).

Policy details can be viewed at: www.adelaide.edu.au/student/finance/international/payment/refunds/

Change to Permanent Resident StatusAdmission for international students and for Australian residents are subject to different quota restrictions imposed by the University and the Australian Government. International students whose immigration status changes to Australian Permanent Resident will be required to transfer to an Australian Fee-based Enrolment (AFBE).

ScholarshipsA small number of scholarships, from a limited number of countries, will be available for students who wish to undertake an undergraduate degree program at the University of Adelaide commencing in 2011.

A separate application process for scholarships is required; interested students must complete an online application form after checking whether they meet the minimum academic eligibility requirements.

Applicants must hold a current offer of admission to the University at the time of application. To be considered for a scholarship, students must have met all of the conditions of their offer by the closing date for scholarship applications.

Interested students should lodge their application for admission at least 8 weeks before the closing date for scholarship appli-cations to enable an offer to be processed.

Scholarship applications for students wishing to commence their academic program in Semester 1, 2011 will open in October 2010.

The University’s English Language Centre pro-vides outstanding English language programs, cultural programs and English teacher training services for international students and groups.

Pre-Enrolment English Programwww.adelaide.edu.au/elc/courses/pep/

The Pre-Enrolment English Program (PEP) is designed for students from language back-grounds other than English who are planning to study at the University of Adelaide. The program provides an alternative entry pathway for pro-spective students who have received offers to the University of Adelaide, conditional upon English proficiency. On successful completion of the PEP, students are granted direct entry into the majority of programs at the University.

The PEP consists of interactive, task-based courses that run from 10 to 30 weeks, depending on students’ initial levels of English proficiency and the specific English language proficiency requirements of students’ degree program. A minimum IELTS (or equivalent) is required for entry to the PEP. Students with IELTS scores lower than the minimum are advised to consider undertaking the General English for Academic Purposes (GEAP) course.

The PEP helps students develop the language and communication skills necessary for successful participation in tutorials and lectures, and an understanding of the academic culture of Australian universities.

To apply for the PEP, tick the appropriate box in Section 4 of the application form enclosed in this prospectus. Enrolment must be confirmed at least four weeks before the PEP starting date, or earlier if the visa application process is lengthy.

General English for Academic Purposeswww.adelaide.edu.au/elc/courses/geap/

The General English for Academic Purposes (GEAP) program is ideal for international students who want to study English in the academic environment of an Australian university. With a range of levels from element-ary to advanced, GEAP programs all focus on developing speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary skills. You can choose the length of the program anywhere from as little as 5 weeks to 45 weeks. GEAP can be taken as a standalone program or as a pathway (if taking IELTS/TOEFL preparation as an optional elective) to further study at the University of Adelaide or other Australian universities.

Certificate IV in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languageswww.adelaide.edu.au/elc/courses/tesol/

The English Language Centre’s Certificate IV in TESOL provides the minimum qualification required to teach English to speakers of other languages. TESOL provides essential training in the use of communicative methodologies, lesson planning and classroom practice, through

a mix of face-to-face delivery, self-study and project work. The program can be undertaken either as an intensive 4 week program or part-time over 12 weeks. Certificate IV In TESOL is available to native English speakers and those with a high level of English language proficiency and has strict entry requirements.

Group Study Tour Programswww.adelaide.edu.au/elc/study/

Group Study Tour Programs offer the ideal mix of academic excellence and cultural experience for groups of international students or business colleagues looking for an informative and fun Australian experience. The program is tailored towards each group’s specific needs and can be for any length of time, usually between two and eight weeks.

Academic sessions can focus on general English tuition or a specific discipline or interest, while cultural activities include excursions to destinations of cultural, historical, geograph-ical and social interest. There are many activities to select from (including horse riding, meeting native animals, wine tasting, golf and bushwalking) and you can choose as much academic or cultural input as you like.

“ I decided to move to Adelaide ahead of other cities because it is the perfect size for a student – not too large or expensive, but still offering a lot of attractions and a great lifestyle. I really like the fact that the University is in the centre of the city and features so many beautiful heritage buildings as well as lovely surroundings. The campus life is also fantastic – there are a wide variety of clubs and the facilities are excellent.”

30 ALTERNATIVE PATHWAYS

ALTERNATIVE PATHWAYS

31

The University of Adelaide offers an environ-ment where academic excellence is applauded and independent enquiry is encouraged.

Students are expected to assess and think critically about issues rather than simply repeat learned information. To do well, students will need to consult different sources of information and evaluate them from a critical perspective. As well as preparing for a rewarding career, studying at the University of Adelaide will help students to analyse, understand and contribute to the world.

Teaching methods vary between schools, but most courses are structured around a program of lectures. In addition, seminars, group dis-cussions (tutorials), practicals and field trips are conducted, depending on the course.

Academic Programs and CoursesTo gain any university qualification, students must satisfactorily complete a specific academic program. Each program requires students to complete a certain number of courses. Some programs have compulsory courses, and may or may not include electives. In other programs students can make their own selection of courses, with the advice and approval of the School or Faculty in which they are enrolled.

Most courses are taught for one semester only, with the final assessment at the end of

the semester. A few courses continue for the whole year and for these courses students will only receive a grade at the end of the year.

Units and LevelsEach course within a program has a unit value and a level. Each academic program has a total number of units that must be completed, and requirements for a certain number of units at specific levels, in order to finish the program. The depth and complexity of courses increases through each level.

LecturesA lecture is a formal session where a lecturer instructs a large group of students. They are designed to give students a good starting point on a specific area of knowledge and identify the most important areas of the course. Students are expected to listen carefully and take notes. Lectures that are held weekly usually run for 50 minutes, though some last up to two hours.

TutorialsTutorials are small, weekly classes where students are typically expected to discuss topics and concepts relating to the course. Discussions are led by a lecturer or a tutor. Weekly assignments are often set and may

involve a presentation to the group, a written exercise or participation in group discussion. Attendance at tutorials is usually recorded, and tutorial participation often forms part of the course assessment.

Student Study CommitmentTo successfully pass your courses, you will need to allocate an appropriate time commit-ment to your study. In addition to the formal contact time required for each of your courses (e.g. lectures, tutorials, practicals), you will need to allocate non-contact time. Non-contact time will be required for a range of activities which may include, but are not limited to, assessment tasks, reading, researching, note-taking, revision, writing, consultation with staff, and informal discussions with other students.

While the relative proportion of contact and non-contact time may vary from course to course, as a guide, a full-time student should expect to spend, on average, a total of 48 hours per week on their studies during teaching periods.

AssessmentThere is usually a mixture of assessment options, depending on the school and program. Most courses utilise continuous assessment procedures. Common forms of assessment include essays, assignments, practicals, tutorial papers, participation in group discussions and end of semester exams. Very few courses are now assessed exclusively by an end of semester examination worth 100% of the final grade.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS

GRADING SCHEME

The University uses the following grading scheme for most programs:

High Distinction 85-100%

Distinction 75-84%

Credit 65-74%

Pass 50-64%

Fail 0-49%

Other grading schemes may be used for a small number of programs or courses.

Third Country Experience

The University of Adelaide has signed agreements with many international universities, and this means that during your time in Adelaide you can apply to study for one or two semesters at one of these partner institutions.

The University of Adelaide is keen to offer international students the possibility of a ‘third country experience’ through our exchange programme: Adelaide Abroad. With careful planning there is no need to extend your degree as credit is sought for the study undertaken overseas. A small number of places (usually 2-5 per year) are available at each university, and selection is based on academic merit and an interview.

As an exchange student you remain enrolled full-time at the University of Adelaide while you are overseas; you continue to pay your usual tuition fees to the University of Adelaide but do not pay tuition fees at the host university.

We encourage international students to apply to participate in our student exchange programs (but not to their home countries) to add a further dimension to their University of Adelaide education. There are many exciting opportun-ities in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

To find out which of our partners is available for exchange, please contact: adelaideabroad@adelaide.edu.au

INTERNATIONAL LINKSFOR STUDENT EXCHANGE

Becky Morrissey Study AbroadState University of New YorkBachelor of Arts (Psychology)

“ I’m from a small town, and I wanted to experience city life but not be overwhelmed by it. Sydney and Melbourne are nice places for a holiday but I’m so glad I chose to study in Adelaide – it has a friendly, homey feel and it was really easy to adjust. I chose sociology and anthropology subjects because I wanted to learn as much as possible about cultures that are different from my own. My favourite course is Gender and Race in Australian History – I especially love learning about Aboriginal culture and history, and it’s something I would never get to study in the States. ”

“ Travelling and studying abroad provides the sort of education that no book, movie or second party could ever teach. My experience in Australia has given me a new under-standing of the world, life and my own identity. Adelaide has a lot in common with Calgary yet there are some wonderful subtleties that make it a welcome change. The music and nightlife scenes are quite different to back home - I’ve been charged creatively, socially and culturally by the vibrant myriad of festivals and local talent, and enjoyed immersing myself in the dining and coffee culture.”

Website: www.ecms.adelaide.edu.au

Online enquiry form: www.international.adelaide.edu.au/enquiries

Program overview: Petroleum engineers seek to recover oil and gas on a sustainable basis at minimum financial and environmental cost. Their tasks focus on extracting the maximum possible amounts of oil and gas from underground rock formations or reservoirs. This requires the practical application of advanced science and engineering principles, beginning with mathematical modelling of the size and nature of the reservoir, optimum well locations, the planned implementation of suitable surface facilities, and finally the prediction of liquid and gas flows during the recovery process. For example, the oil may need to be forced out of reservoir rocks by pumping water or gas under pressure into wells drilled for that purpose. Hydraulic or chemical techniques are often required to fracture or stimulate formations to induce higher flow rates. One of the current challenges is to produce petroleum from deepwater reservoirs, where the ocean depth may exceed 10,000 metres. A key feature of this program is the integration of traditional petroleum engineering topics with topics in petroleum geoscience and management, leading to a skill set that matches both the current needs of the industry and the way it operates. The petroleum engineering degree builds a strong foundation of mathematics, chemistry, physics, geology/geophysics, computer applications and engineering principles. Over the course of the program, the emphasis of the courses studied changes from more general engineering to specific petroleum-related topics. It also has a strong focus on management and business related aspects. These are a particular focus of the School and make its teaching curricula unique.

Many staff members have had recent industry experience, further enhancing the relevance of the curriculum to the modern petroleum industry. Petroleum producing companies will provide extensive practical field experience as an essential part of the program

Assessment: Class work, tutorials, project work, exams. All students are required to complete a minimum of 12 weeks practical work experience outside normal class time. Work experience can be undertaken in Australia or other countries.

Likely careers: Petroleum engineers supervise and improve drilling and petroleum-producing operations. They study and understand geologic and engineering principles to predict maximum oil and gas recovery as well as ultimate production and production rates. Petroleum engineers are employed in very diverse occupations including well-log analyst, drilling engineer, production engineer or reservoir engineer. A well-log analyst evaluates a well’s potential and a drilling engineer is responsible for finding oil and gas, designing and drilling the well as cheaply as possible. The job of a production engineer is to analyse and optimise the performance of individual wells, to determine how to bring the fluid to the surface, and to develop a system of surface equipment that separates the oil, gas and water.

Professional accreditation: Professional membership to Engineers Australia and many overseas engineering bodies.

Program overview: Software engineering concerns the application of engineering principles to the development and maintenance of high quality software, delivered on time and within budget. Software engineers have a thorough understanding of the underlying hardware on which the software runs, and are thus ideally equipped to apply their skills to hardware-software co-design and the development of embedded systems. This program covers both theory and practice of engin-eering principles over the whole four years, coupled with a strong emphasis on group projects in years 3 and 4 with close industrial connections. Students may also study a choice of electives, allowing them to steer their course of study between one with a more traditional electrical engineering flavour and one that is more oriented towards commercial software engineering. Emphasis is placed on underlying principles and techniques so that graduates will be able to learn and apply new technologies as they emerged in the future. The early years of the program build a scientific and engineering foundation of computing, mathematics and digital electronics, in preparation for the more

specialised software engineering course in the third and fourth years. Advanced courses covered in the later years include compiler construction, coding and cryptology, embedded computer systems, software process improvement and computer architecture.

Assessment: Class work, tutorials, project work, exams. All students are required to complete a minimum of 12 weeks practical work experience outside normal class time. Work experience can be undertaken in Australia or other countries.

Likely careers: Communications, manufacturing industries, internet, defence, consumer electronics, power generation and supply, finance, commerce, banking and IT service providers.

Professional accreditation: Accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS) and provisional accreditation by Engineers Australia. Provides necessary academic requirements for member-ship of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the American-based Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

Program overview: Sustainable Energy Engin-eering enables development of long-term solutions to meet the world’s rapidly growing energy needs using alternative energy sources such as wind, solar and biomass, as well as sustainable energy production from existing sources such as coal and gas. Students choose from three streams: chemical, electrical and mechanical. Each stream provides a strong technical and practical foundation in its own specialisation, together with a substantial component of cross-disciplinary studies covering specialised topics in sustainable energy. • Sustainable Energy - Chemical is focussed

on producing chemical engineers with the know-ledge and skills required to improve and design ground-breaking processes that are technically, economically and environmentally sound. The program has been designed to meet the growing demand for chemical engineers with the skills to apply sustainable techniques in process engineering. This stream is suitable for students with an interest in maths and chemistry and in the design of processes to produce sustainable products for the 21st century.

• Sustainable Energy - Electrical is about the electrical technologies supporting renewable energy systems including solar and wind generation technologies, and the systems that we use to transfer electric energy across large distances. Graduates can expect to work in various industries involved with the development of the next generation of solar and wind turbine systems, integrating renewable energy sources into the power grid and controlling power distrib-ution networks which contain a mixture of con-ventional and renewable power sources. This stream is suitable for students interested in environmentally friendly electrical energy prod-uction through developing higher performance and lower cost renewable energy systems.

• Sustainable Energy - Mechanical concerns the design of systems that use heat and fluid flow to generate energy. It includes the assess-ment of aerodynamics, structural loads, vibrations, thermal power and cooling cycles, combustion and automatic control. In addition to considering more sustainable, traditional forms of energy production, the program is concerned with all possible renewable energy forms including wind, wave, tidal, solar, geothermal, hydro, pumped storage and biomass. This stream is suitable for students interested in designing sustainable and renewable energy systems and in solving problems related to sustainability.

Assessment: Class work, tutorials, project work, exams. All students are required to complete a minimum of 12 weeks practical work experience outside normal class time. Work experience can be undertaken in Australia or other countries.

LEVEL I

The first year of the program commences with an introductory phase which includes introductions to human biology, clinical competencies and the study methods to be used throughout the course. The Dental Sciences theme for the remainder of the year covers human structure and function using a body systems approach, basic human biology, community health and aspects of the scientific basis of dental practice. The Clinical Competences theme covers basic technical skills (including chair-side assisting) and communication skills. Throughout the program students participate in case-based integrated learning activities which require students to work in groups, to engage in self-directed learning, and to integrate and apply knowledge from each of the themes.

LEVEL II

The first semester continues with the same Dental Sciences topics as in first year but with a more in-depth approach to the body systems most directly relevant to dental practice. In the second semester students start to learn about the pathogenesis of dental and human disorders. The scientific basis of dental practice, and health and the community, components continue throughout the year.In the Clinical Competence theme students build on their basic practical and professional skills. In

the later part of the year they start participating in the care of patients within the Adelaide Dental Hospital. The School of Dentistry places an emphasis on maintenance of health and on the comprehensive management of patients with dental and oral diseases while adhering to principles of minimum intervention.

LEVEL III and IV

In the third and fourth years students extend their Dental Sciences studies to include the under-standing of dental disorders and the human diseases which have direct relevance to oral health and dental practice. The scientific basis of dental practice, and the health and the commun-ity, components continues throughout the year.Within the Clinical Competence theme students further develop skills in comprehensive treatment planning and provide supervised care for patients, obtaining clinical experience in general dental practice and the dental specialties. Students have the opportunity to undertake an elective at the end of the fourth year.

LEVEL V

This will be a ‘clinical placements’ year. Students undertake a range of placements in the dental hospital and in a range of community settings, both in public and private practice. Elective placements are also made available to provide students with an opportunity to pursue a particular aspect of dental practice in more depth.

HONOURS

An optional Honours year is available upon the completion of at least the first three years of the BDS. This involves the writing of a report or thesis together with advanced course work.

Program overview: This program is all about the largest and most diverse ecosystem on the planet - the sea. It is strange that our planet is named ‘Earth’ when most of it is ‘sea’, and stranger that many graduates train in tropical seas when the bulk of jobs are in temperate (Antarctic to sub-tropical) seas. Most of Australia’s population lives on temperate coasts. For this reason we prepare graduates for work on these coasts by demonstrating the problems and needs facing marine industry and conservation.The program provides access to staff with national and international acclaim for research excellence, with a strong emphasis on giving students field experience. Students use the same equipment that is used in pioneering research

across the northern and southern hemispheres. This program prepares students for careers in marine biology via training in use of coherent, logical procedures and rigorous experimental planning for practical work in the field and laboratory. There is demand for people with these skills in temperate marine biology.

Program overview: The Bachelor of Teaching can be completed in a minimum of four years in conjunction with a degree in Arts, Economics, Mathematical and Computer Sciences or Science. In Levels I-III students will focus on completing a ‘major sequence’ in two different subject areas that are usually taught at senior secondary level. At each of these levels students will also take education courses designed to provide ongoing orientation to educational issues and practice. These education courses will involve observation and experience in school contexts. The final year will be taken up entirely with education studies, and is organised around two five-week periods of teaching practice in second-ary schools one in the Adelaide metropolitan area, the other in country South Australia.

Assessment: Written reports, essays and exams, collection and preparation of teaching resource materials, tutorial and seminar participation and oral presentations. Teaching practice is also assessed by mentor teachers and University staff.

Likely careers: The double degree prepares graduates for teaching in secondary schools in Australia and some overseas countries, in subject areas such as:• Biology, Chemistry, Physics,

Agricultural Science and Junior Science;• English;

• English as a Second or Other Language;• Languages Other Than English;• Mathematics and Information Technology;• Studies of Society and Environment

(incorporating Aboriginal Studies, Australian Studies, Ancient Studies, Classical Studies, Geography, History, Media Studies, Politics, Psychology, Social Studies, Gender Studies, Accounting, Business Studies and Economics).

Professional accreditation: Qualifies graduates for registration with the Teachers Registration Board of South Australia. The program provides graduates with a professional qualification that is accepted in other Australian states and most countries around the world.

Other information: Any applicant whose schooling has been in a language other than English is strongly advised to take the appropriate Pre- Enrolment English Program (PEP) offered by the University’s English Language Centre. In certain circumstances it may be possible for the required observation and school experience to be comp-leted in schools in the student’s home country.

Note: The Bachelor of Teaching is available only as a double degree. Students who have completed an undergraduate degree should apply for the Graduate Diploma in Education (see Postgraduate Coursework Prospectus 2011).
