Message from the Vice-Chancellor and President 3

With more than 140 years of excellence in education, the University of Adelaide is one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious tertiary institutions.

As one of Australia’s leading research-intensive universities, the University of Adelaide is consistently ranked among the top 1% of universities in the world. Since its establishment in 1874, the University has developed a strong reputation for excellence in learning, teaching and research. It has produced over 100 Rhodes Scholars and is associated with five Nobel Laureates.

The University offers a vibrant campus lifestyle with more than 26,000 students, of which over 24 per cent are international students from more than 90 countries. This environment is small enough to enable personal interaction with teaching staff, yet large enough to provide a broad range of programs and student support services.

The University provides education in the disciplines of sciences, health sciences, arts and humanities, engineering, mathematics and computer sciences, and professions such as teaching and law. Key research foci at the University reflect national and global research priorities in the areas of the environment, health, photonics and advanced sensing, agriculture, and minerals and energy.

Recognising that the best education outcomes are enabled through student access to up-to-date facilities and resources, the University continues to invest in important infrastructure. With modern lecture theatres, laboratories and computer suites, University of Adelaide students experience world-class learning environments in addition to enhanced digital and e-learning resources.

The University of Adelaide is committed to developing quality graduates who are recognised internationally for their knowledge, skills, creativity, global outlook and ability.

Groundbreaking researchThe University of Adelaide is a member of the Group of Eight, a coalition of Australia’s leading research-intensive universities. Many groundbreaking discoveries have been uncovered at the University that have had lasting effects on science and the world at large.

The University’s research standing is validated by its results in the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative, which measures the quality and impact of research conducted at Australian universities. Over 90% of the University’s research areas were rated ‘at or above world class’. The University has particular strength in areas such as the biological sciences, engineering and earth sciences, humanities, creative arts and writing, mathematics, information technology and computer sciences, physical and chemical sciences, and social and behavioural sciences.

With an embedded research culture, students experience an educational environment in which lecturers are active researchers and teaching is informed by the latest findings.

An international outlookThe University of Adelaide is strongly committed to international education. Since the University began enrolling international students more than 60 years ago, the international student population has grown to more than 6200. Originating from over 90 countries, the University’s international student population accounts for approximately 24 per cent of all students at its South Australian campuses. More than 700 students are also enrolled at the Ngee Ann– Adelaide Education Centre in Singapore. The Education Centre was formed through 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 of Adelaide 5

A distinctive approach to learning and teachingUniversity of Adelaide students receive a unique education experience, characterised by the opportunities they are afforded and the community of which they are a part. Students have the chance to learn in small groups under the expert guidance of leading academics, and by studying at a research-intensive university they learn research techniques from undergraduate level. They develop problem-solving skills and the ability to innovate—skills that are invaluable for further study and employment.

A progressive institutionFrom its early beginnings, South Australia was a progressive state. Established by free settlers, it was the first Australian state to grant voting rights to women. Reflecting the values of the state in which it was founded, the University of Adelaide became the first university in Australia to:

> admit women to academic courses (1881)

> grant degrees in science (1882)

> establish a Chair of Music (1884), offer a bachelor’s degree in music (1886), create a Conservatorium of Music (1897), and graduate a Doctor of Music (1902)

> make provision for the election of the first woman to a university governing body (Helen Mayo, University Council, 1914).

Graduates of international distinctionThrough excellence in learning and teaching, the University of Adelaide seeks to develop graduates of international distinction.

Graduate attributesThe education experience is designed to prepare graduates with the following attributes:

Knowledge and understanding of the content and techniques of a chosen discipline at advanced levels that are internationally recognised

Ability to locate, analyse, evaluate and synthesise information from a wide variety of sources in a planned and timely manner

Ability to apply effective, creative and innovative solutions, both independently and cooperatively, to current and future problems

Proficiency in interpersonal understanding, teamwork and communication

Strength in the appropriate use of contemporary technologies

Commitment to continuous learning and the capacity to maintain intellectual curiosity throughout life

Commitment to the highest standards of professional endeavour and the ability to take a leadership role in the community

Awareness of ethical, social and cultural issues within a global context and their importance in the exercise of professional skills and responsibilities.

Small group discoveryThe University of Adelaide is committed to giving all students opportunities to learn in small groups, peer-to-peer and under the guidance of leading academics and researchers.

A global alumni networkGraduates of the University of Adelaide become part of a fellowship that includes: South Australia’s first NASA astronaut, Dr Andy Thomas; Australia’s first female judge, Queen’s Counsel and state governor, Dame Roma Mitchell; the President of Singapore, Dr Tony Tan Keng Yam; and a long list of distinguished Rhodes and Fulbright scholars.

Following graduation, the connection with the University of Adelaide continues to grow. There are many ways alumni can continue their affiliation with their alma mater.

Why you will love Adelaide

Precision planningAdelaide rises from the middle of a tree- covered plain between rolling hills to the east and 22 kilometres of white sandy beaches to the west. When Colonel Light founded Adelaide in 1836, he had a simple plan: a one square mile city centre and lots of open space. He laid out the streets in a grid, surrounded by a ring of what are now state heritage-listed parklands.

Australia’s most affordable cityRecent research by the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling shows that Adelaide is one of the most affordable cities in Australia. The cost of living in Adelaide is up to 19% less than Sydney and Melbourne and 7% less than Perth and Brisbane.

A truly liveable cityAdelaide is a very safe and relaxed place to live. It is regularly ranked one of the most liveable cities in the world. In The Economist Intelligence Unit’s 2014 Liveability Survey, Adelaide was ranked as the 5th most liveable city in the world.

Culturally diverseSouth Australians hail from over 120 different countries, creating a wonderful mix of cultures and influences. One in five South Australians was born overseas—half in countries where English is not the dominant language—so they are well rehearsed at welcoming newcomers into their multicultural mix.

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

With all the advantages of a major city but few of the inconveniences, Adelaide offers an enviable lifestyle in an environment that is ideal for study.

24 Student life

Special interest and social clubsauu.org.au/clubs

For a university student, how time is spent outside the classroom is just as important as how time is spent in lectures, tutorials and practicals. Students have the opportunity to fine-tune their leadership skills, network with potential employers, master language skills, or simply hang out, socialise with other students, or disengage from formal studies for a bit by getting involved in a student club or society.

There are more than 100 different non-sporting clubs and societies active on campus. These range from faculty student societies to religious, cultural and political and activity-based clubs, and if you can’t find what you are looking for, you can easily start your own.

Student mediaGetting involved in student media is a great way to gain skills, develop networks and have fun, and the University of Adelaide has some of the longest running and most highly regarded student media facilities in Australia.

On Ditauu.org.au/ondit

The student newspaper On Dit (pronounced ‘on dee’) was established in 1932 and continues to provide a lively forum for student news and views. Editors are elected each year, and they are joined by a large group of students who contribute articles, sub-edit, proofread, and help with distribution.

Adelaide University student radioradio.adelaide.edu.au

Adelaide University student radio is broadcast three nights a week via Radio Adelaide—Australia’s first community radio station, established by the University in 1972. Students are involved in producing and presenting a variety of special interest shows, and the station also offers training courses to those new to radio.

Accommodation

The University understands that accommodation plays an important part in building a solid foundation for academic success.

University of Adelaide students benefit from the advantages that come from choosing to study in a city where accommodation of all types, including university-managed accommodation, is not only accessible but more affordable than in other Australian cities.

The University recommends that students adopt the RECAS approach to identifying an accommodation option to suit their individual needs and support a positive educational experience.

R esearch all available accommodation options

E stablish a realistic budget

C onsider the value of managed student accommodation

A void extended temporary accommodation

S eek assistance from the University Accommodation Service

Students unfamiliar with Adelaide are encouraged to consider living in managed student accommodation during their first year of university. Managed student accommodation provides new students with the opportunity to become better acquainted with the city, settle into their academic program and make new friends, without having to worry about the challenges of the private rental market.

Long-term student accommodationwww.adelaide.edu.au/accommodation

The University assists international students to obtain suitable longer-term housing. Students may choose any of the following options.

The University of Adelaide VillageThe University of Adelaide Village is the largest of the University’s student accommodation properties and is home to over 400 students.

Students living at the Village experience the safety and security of having access to University staff on-site, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All students need to bring are their personal belongings; furniture, kitchen appliances, utilities (including electricity), phone and wireless internet are included in the accommodation fees. The only additional costs are for meals (students must cook and clean for themselves) and the on-site, coin-operated laundry facilities.

Residential collegesFive residential colleges are affiliated with the University: Aquinas, Lincoln, St Ann’s and St Mark’s colleges, which are primarily for undergraduate students, and Kathleen Lumley College which is is suited to postgraduate and mature-age students.

These colleges are situated in North Adelaide, within easy walking distance of the main North Terrace campus. A residential college is also located at Roseworthy, one hour’s drive north of the city, for students whose study is based at the Roseworthy campus.

Most college rooms are single study bedrooms. All colleges are co-educational, with shared bathrooms. The colleges generally provide three meals per day—no individual cooking facilities are available.

Commercial student accommodation Commercial student accommodation refers to purpose-built student accommodation facilities, situated off-campus and managed by private management companies. These facilities offer fully-furnished, self-contained apartments that provide students with the flexibility to live alone or share with others in a student community. Some room types in commercial student accommodation are offered specifically to couples.

In addition to rent, students may need to budget for additional expenses, including:

> gas

> electricity

> telephone connection (optional)

> Internet connection (optional).

Places in commercial student accommodation facilities are offered on a 6 or 12-month fixed-term lease agreement. It is important to note that these facilities are not directly affiliated with the University of Adelaide and students are advised to inspect them before securing accommodation in a commercial student accommodation facility.

Private rental and share accommodationThe University of Adelaide Accommodation Service understands that affordable (share) accommodation can be found in the private rental market which is why the University offers a rental database (www.adelaide.edu.au/accommodation) for the exclusive use of University of Adelaide students.

The rental database can be accessed from the Accommodation Service, Level 4, Union House, North Terrace campus by enrolled students of the University of Adelaide with a user name and password. The database is only promoted among the University community, which means that most of the listings are being offered by people who are affiliated with the University and would like to share their room/ property with a University of Adelaide student.

Students who want to find share or rental accommodation when they arrive in Adelaide are encouraged to book temporary accommodation in the first instance. Once in Adelaide, students should visit the Accommodation

Specialist accommodation service and support

Database for students looking for rental properties

University-managed accommodation is a 15 minute walk from campus

26 Accommodation

Service for information on all available options, access to the rental database and support during the process of identifying and securing quality share or rental accommodation.

Students are discouraged from sending money from offshore to secure share or rental accommodation without having had the opportunity to inspect accommodation first.

Accommodation for families Students accompanied by family members will find that private rental accommodation in houses or apartments is the most suitable accommodation option. It is easier for an individual student to initially travel to Adelaide on their own 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.

Arrival reception and temporary accommodationTemporary accommodation and arrival reception services are available to commencing international students. Eligible students can book an arrival reception service and be met by a University representative at Adelaide airport on arrival, via a domestic or international flight. Students will then be transported to their accommodation.

Eligible students who choose not to secure long-term managed student accommodation for their arrival in Adelaide may also be eligible for seven nights of temporary accommodation booked through the University. It is important to note that temporary accommodation options arranged through the University are unlikely to be extended further than a period of seven nights due to high demand for short-term accommodation during the traditional student intake periods.

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

Study-related costsAll students should allow at least AUD $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.

Planning a budgetAdelaide is more affordable than other Australian cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane. Accommodation is the largest variable expense for students—it can cost anywhere from around AUD $120 per week for shared private accommodation outside the city centre, to AUD $248 for University-managed accommodation within the city centre (most expensive option), or AUD $385 for private sole occupancy accommodation. There can also be large costs associated with setting up private accommodation, as most private rental houses and apartments are rented unfurnished.

Application feeAn application fee of AUD $100 must accompany the University of Adelaide undergraduate online application. An exemption may apply for some government or 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 may 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, e.g. if students ‘overload’ or ‘underload’, fees may be increased or decreased accordingly.

New international students are required to pay a specified tuition fee deposit 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 students (or their sponsor) each enrolment period according to enrolment load.

Student services and amenities feeInternational students commencing in 2016 will be required to pay an annual Student Services and Amenities Fee, which will cover activities such as clubs, sporting and recreational activities, and many other services. In 2015, the fee was AUD $281 and it is indexed annually. For more information, visit: www.adelaide.edu.au/student and enter ‘SSAF’ in the Search our services box.

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).

For policy details, visit: www.adelaide. edu.au/student and enter ‘refunds’ in the Search our services box.

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 Allianz Global Assistance. Visit: www.oshcallianzassistance. com.au/?AgentID=238236

The Department of Immigration and Border Protection requires all student visa holders to have OSHC for the duration of their visa at the time of admission. For additional information, please refer to: international. adelaide.edu.au/life/visas/healthoshc

Based on 2015 premiums, 12 months of OSHC Essentials cover is AUD $594 for a single student. A dual family policy is AUD $1,643, and a multi-family policy is AUD $2,396.

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.

Students with families Students who bring their families with them to Australia will need to take into account additional costs associated with

Adelaide is one of Australia’s more affordable cities, with average weekly expenses lower than Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.

28 Money matters

health cover, housing, food, transport, childcare and education expenses.

For information and advice for international students with families, visit international.adelaide.edu.au/life and enter ‘family’ in the Find what you’re looking for search box.

School attendance is compulsory for all children aged six to 15, with most children starting school at five years of age. Children may attend government-operated schools or independent schools.

All schooling services attract a fee. At the time of printing, the fees for government-operated schools were AUD $4,160 per year for primary school (from Reception to Year 7) and AUD $5,164 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 AUD $600 in the first year and AUD $300 in subsequent years. For details visit www.internationalstudents.sa.edu.au and select Children of International Tertiary Students from the menu.

Part-time workMany international students and their dependants hope to obtain part-time work to supplement 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 so they may not have the time to undertake 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 40 hours per fortnight 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, visit: www.border.gov.au/Trav/Stud/More then select Work conditions for Student visa holders from the menu.

Change to permanent resident statusAdmission for international students and for Australian residents is 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 a domestic fee-paying place.

ScholarshipsA small number of scholarships will be available for students who wish to undertake an undergraduate degree program at the University of Adelaide commencing in 2016.

More information on the available scholarships, the application process, minimum eligibility criteria and important deadlines is available by visiting international.adelaide.edu.au/choosing/ and selecting Scholarships from the menu. For information on Australian Government scholarships, please refer to: www.australiaawards.gov.au

As these details are subject to change, interested students are encouraged to check these websites from time to time.

The University of Adelaide offers an environment where academic excellence is celebrated 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. University of Adelaide students are able to analyse, understand and contribute to the world and are prepared for rewarding careers.

Teaching methods vary between schools, but most courses are structured around a program of lectures. In addition, seminars, group discussions (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 program is made up of courses (subjects) and each course has a unit value. As students progress through a program, they are taught courses of increasing depth and complexity at each level, e.g. starting at Level 1 and progressing to Advanced Level.

Completion of a certain number of course units is required at each level in order to successfully finish the program and be eligible for graduation.

LecturesA lecture is a formal session where a lecturer instructs a large group of students. Lectures 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, 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 commitmentIn order to successfully pass, students need to allocate an appropriate time commitment to their study. In addition to the formal contact time required for each of their courses (e.g. lectures, tutorials, practicals), students need to allocate non-contact time.

Non-contact time will be required for a range of activities, which may include, but is not limited to: assessment tasks, reading, researching, note-taking, revising, writing, consulting with staff, and undertaking 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 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 use continuous assessment procedures. Common forms of assessment include essays, assignments, practicals, tutorial papers, participation in group discussions and end-of-semester exams.

Grading schemeHigh 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.

committed to providing its students with opportunities to study overseas. This includes our international students.

A very cold Easter Sunday in Bern, Switzerland Brittany Kluske

42 Global Learning

The University offers international students the possibility of a ‘third country experience’ through a range of programs including student exchange, study tours and summer and winter schools. With careful planning there is no need to extend a degree, as credit usually is awarded for the study undertaken overseas.

Students participating in an exchange program remain enrolled as full-time students at the University of Adelaide while overseas.

Students in an exchange program continue to pay their usual tuition fees to the University of Adelaide and do not pay tuition fees at the host university.

International students are encouraged to apply to participate in Global Learning experiences to add a further dimension to their University of Adelaide education. There are many exciting opportunities in the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific region and Africa.

Program overviewDesign is an activity that requires creativity, critical thinking and the ability to understand and respond to the needs and aspirations of people and the possibilities of our environment. Design in the Bachelor of Architectural Design degree focuses on the way humans create places through architecture, landscape architecture and urban design.The program involves the arts and the sciences, writing and graphics, design and analysis, management and engineering, together with architecture, landscape architecture and urban design.Students will find themselves involved in practical aspects of the program, such as designing, making models, visiting building sites, landscapes, gardens and exhibitions, absorbing aspects of the society in which people live and formulating proposals for improving the environment.

Program structureThe multi-disciplinary core courses in the Bachelor of Architectural Design foster intellectual development, critical thinking and creative action. The program is intended as a framework within which to develop these skills for those individuals who have an interest in the environment and design and who wish to enhance buildings and human-modified places with creative environmental design solutions.The majority of teaching activities are based around the design studios, where topics are developed and discussed with studio leaders. These studio sessions are supplemented by courses in various other topics such as representation, construction, environment and history and theory.Representation introduces students to the latest computer and hand-based drawing techniques. Construction uses specialist equipment for modelling and experimentation and the Environment

course includes issues of ecology. History and theory engages with the traditions of the discipline to consider frameworks for contemporary design.Students can also apply for entry to an additional honours year.

What is the pathway to becoming an architect or landscape architect?The career paths of architects and landscape architects are many and varied. High levels of skill and flexibility are needed in these professions, which respond to global and local needs. To prepare for these exciting possibilities, the School of Architecture and Built Environment at the University of Adelaide delivers one undergraduate Bachelor of Architectural Design program that leads to two professional graduate degrees – Master of Architecture and Master of Landscape Architecture. Alternatively, the Bachelor of Architectural Design program provides a study pathway for students who wish to undertake the school’s postgraduate Master of Planning, Master of Planning (Urban Design) programs or the Master of Property.The Bachelor of Architectural Design followed by the Master of Architecture is recognised by the Australian Institute of Architects and accredited by the Architectural Practice Board of South Australia. These two programs can be completed in five years of study. Prerequisites for registration as an architect are: a total of two years practical experience, with at least one year taken after graduation, plus an examination by the Architectural Practice Board.A similar pathway applies for aspiring landscape architects, with the Master of Landscape Architecture being recognised by the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) and examined by the Registered Landscape Architects Board for registration.The Master of Planning and the Master of Planning (Urban Design) are available to graduates of the Bachelor of Architectural Design program and are accredited by the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA). These degrees have significant input from the School of Social Sciences and their content bridges both the natural and built environment. Also covered are issues of urban development and design and public interaction with the planning process and human concerns with the design and development of urban spaces.The Master of Property is available to graduates of the Bachelor of Architectural Design with a credit average or above and is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. This degree is located in the School of Architecture and Built Environment but draws extensively on expertise from across the Faculty of the Professions, with input from economics, law, finance and project management.It is important to note that while many Bachelor of Architectural Design graduates continue in either architecture and/or landscape architecture others follow a variety of career directions. The Bachelor of Architectural Design leads to careers which require skills in analysing and interpreting

situations, the use of creative decision-making approaches, and the formulation of proposals for change or conservation.Graduates of the Bachelor of Architectural Design are well equipped to continue on to a broad spectrum of future studies in other fields because of the program’s emphasis on critical thinking, creative action, communication skills and digital technologies. These pathways could include teaching, health sciences, environmental law, international development, urban and regional planning, marketing and business.

Professional accreditationTo practise as an architect or landscape architect, candidates must have completed a professionally accredited degree in the relevant program. The Bachelor of Architectural Design followed by the Master of Architecture is recognised by the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) and accredited by the Architectural Practice Board of South Australia. The Bachelor of Architectural Design followed by the Master of Landscape Architecture is recognised and accredited by the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) respectively.The Bachelor of Architectural Design is recognised by the Planning Institute of Australia followed by both the Master of Planning and Master of Planning (Urban Design), which are accredited by the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA). The Bachelor of Architectural Design followed by the Master of Property is recognised and accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Petroleum Engineering

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum)


petroleum





Intakes: February





Program overviewPetroleum (natural oil and gas) is found in the tiny spaces between rock grains, deep below the earth’s surface. Petroleum engineering is the practical application of physics, mathematics, chemistry and geology, combined with engineering and economic principles, to the recovery of petroleum.Petroleum engineers are designers. They create, plan and supervise all aspects of petroleum recovery: helping to find oil and gas; assessing how much is there; designing the wells and processing facilities to get as much out as possible; supervising and optimising production operations and ultimately, planning for the abandonment of the project. All of these designs and operational plans must be economic and safe from a human and environmental perspective.A key feature of the University of Adelaide’s petroleum engineering programs is the modern curriculum that integrates core petroleum engineering with geoscience and management. This focus leads to students equipped with skill sets that match both the needs of industry and the way it operates.The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum) builds a strong foundation of mathematics, physics, geology, geophysics, computer applications and engineering principles. Over the course of the program, the subjects studied change from more general engineering topics to very specific petroleum-related topics. There is also a focus on management and business-related aspects. This integrated structure makes the petroleum engineering teaching curriculum unique.In the first year, students study a range of engineering, mathematics and physics courses that are common to many branches of engineering. Students are also introduced to the petroleum industry and to the key geological, physical and chemical principles that govern recovery from petroleum reservoirs.

In the second and third year, these areas of study are developed with the addition of a broader range of petroleum engineering and geosciences topics. In fourth year, students expand their technical knowledge and develop business skills, such as economic evaluation and project management, as well as undertake a final year project.


Potential careersPetroleum engineers are employed in a diverse range of occupations in oil and gas companies, government agencies and organisations that service the oil and gas industry.A graduate of this program could become a:

> reservoir engineer - evaluate field performance by undertaking reservoir modelling studies using sophisticated computer simulation, and explore opportunities to maximise the value of both exploration and production properties to enhance hydrocarbon production by determining the optimal petroleum recovery process, and plan the number, type and location of wells and production facilities

> drilling engineer - work with geologists and reservoir engineers to apply the latest technology and innovation in drilling oil and gas wells. In this role, graduates may work on a rotating schedule at a rig site or supervise complex operations at remote sites. Drilling engineers may also have the opportunity to support well design, planning and rig operations (office-based)

> production engineer - oversee the daily management of oil and gas production operations to optimise oil and gas production. Production engineers are responsible for production equipment design, monitoring, evaluation and execution.

Many managers in the petroleum industry started as petroleum engineers or geoscientists, and graduates could also go on to become commercial analysts or move into business development within the industry.Graduates with an interest in research could pursue an academic career or work for larger operators and service companies with their own research facilities. There are opportunities in teaching through academic careers or providing industry training.Other possible career opportunities include working as an oil and gas analyst for investment bankers or brokers, starting up your own company and/or working in government developing or regulating policy for the exploration, development and production of natural resources.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum and Mechanical)


petroleum + mechanical





Intakes: February





Program overviewThis five-year degree combines the disciplines of petroleum engineering and mechanical engineering to equip graduates with broad expertise that can be applied to a range of complex challenges.Petroleum engineering is the practical application of physics, mathematics, chemistry and geology, combined with economic principles, to the recovery of petroleum. Petroleum engineers are designers. They create, plan and supervise all aspects of petroleum recovery: helping to find oil and gas; assessing how much is there; designing the wells and processing facilities to get as much out as possible; supervising and optimising production operations and ultimately, planning for the abandonment of the project. All of these designs and operational plans must be economic and safe from a human and environmental perspective.Mechanical engineering is concerned with the management of people and resources, and applies advances in technology and scientific principles to the design, development and manufacture of products, processes, machines and mechanical engineering systems.With a specialist skill set across two complementary engineering fields, graduates can enjoy greater scope of career prospects and a competitive edge in the job market.The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum and Mechanical) builds a strong foundation of mathematics, physics, geology, geophysics, computer applications and engineering principles.Over the course of the program, the subjects studied change from more general engineering topics to very specific petroleum and mechanical engineering topics. There is also a focus on management and business-related aspects. This integrated structure makes the petroleum and mechanical engineering teaching curriculum unique.

The first two years of the academic program are spent developing an understanding of the foundation subjects of petroleum and mechanical engineering and geosciences topics. In the third year, these areas of study are further developed through an additional range of advanced topics.In the fourth year, students put mechanical engineering knowledge into practice via major design, research and experimental projects, including a mechanical engineering project.In the fifth year, students expand their technical petroleum engineering knowledge and develop business skills, such as economic evaluation and project management, as well as undertake a final year petroleum engineering project.For further information about the petroleum engineering component of the degree, see Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum). For further information about the mechanical engineering component of the degree, see Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical).


Potential careersWith specialist skills across two broad engineering disciplines, graduates have the opportunity to seek national and global careers across a wide range of industries and organisations.Petroleum engineers are employed in a diverse range of occupations in oil and gas companies, government agencies and organisations that service the oil and gas industry.

First year

The first year of study introduces students to the practice of dentistry and provides a foundation for understanding the normal structure and function of a healthy body. Students learn about dentistry as a career, the oral cavity and how to approach evidence-based maintenance of patients’ health. They also gain knowledge in bio dental, clinical and behavioural sciences develop clinical skills and learn professional behaviours. Through integrated learning activities, students experience various practice situations that focus on the initial phases of patient care. These activities are supported by class meetings, laboratory, tutorial and clinical exercises. Independent study and class discussion also form critical parts of the learning experience.

Second year

The second year of study builds on knowledge attained in the first year, and maintains the focus on patient care. The aim is for students to develop an understanding of the changes that occur in the oral cavity when an imbalance of the oral ecosystem develops. Emphasis is placed on restoring and maintaining the balance towards health. Students participate in integrated learning activities, supported by class meetings, laboratory work, tutorials, clinical sessions and independent study.Teaching continues to focus on the scientific basis of dentistry, with students building their knowledge of the structure and function of the body while developing the skills to examine, assess risk and systematically manage healthy patients with minor conditions.Small-group discovery experiences (SGDE) are an important feature of the dentistry curriculum, particularly in first and second year. Students work in a collaborative environment but are also encouraged to learn to critically evaluate themselves, and plan and implement strategies for improvement.

Third and fourth years

In the third and fourth years, students will extend their dental sciences studies and learn about dental disorders and the human diseases that have direct relevance to oral health and dental practice. The scientific basis of dental practice, and the health and the community components, also continue throughout the year. Students’ clinical skills in comprehensive treatment planning are developed further through the provision of supervised care for patients in both general dental practice and dental specialities.

Fifth year

The fifth year is a clinical placement year. Students undertake a range of placements in the dental hospital and in a variety of community settings, both in public and private practice.

Bachelor of Science (Marine Biology)


marine









Program overviewMarine Biology 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.

Students of this program have access to staff who are nationally and internationally acclaimed for research excellence. There is also a strong emphasis on providing students with field experience. Students use the same equipment that is used in pioneering research across the northern and southern hemispheres.This program prepares graduates for careers in marine biology via training in the 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.


Level 1 involves core studies in biology, geology and statistics. At subsequent levels, students study ecological and evolutionary biology courses that include marine biology components, as well as coastal management and specialised research methodology. At level 3, there are specific marine courses that cover the theoretical, practical and fieldwork aspects of marine biology.

AssessmentModes of assessment include assignments, exams, practical work or field trip reports.

Bachelor of Science (Molecular and Drug Design)


drug








Prerequisites: chemistry and one other science subject chosen from physics, mathematics, biology, scientific studies, geology, agriculture and horticulture, agricultural and horticultural science, nutrition.


Program overviewRapid advances are currently being made in new areas of science, such as structure-based drug design, proteomics, and personalised medicine. As the mapping of the genomes is now complete, characterising the function of the encoded proteins, including those in humans, is the next challenge. Chemists and biochemists have a central role to play in this endeavour, by designing molecules with important medicinal

properties and developing an understanding of how these medicines interact with proteins.Students will gain an understanding of how proteins work and how their function can be influenced by drug molecules. Such knowledge will place graduates at the forefront of this innovative field. The investigation of protein-protein and small molecule-protein interactions has become a significant area of research that promises to provide new approaches to the development of safe and effective drugs to treat a range of human diseases.This program consists of core training in chemistry and biochemistry. Students learn how proteins interact with each other and with other small molecules, such as enzyme inhibitors and pharmaceuticals (drugs). A number of case studies will be considered to assist students in understanding the process of drug development within the pharmaceutical industry. Students develop a comprehension of the molecular aspects of these processes, along with an advanced understanding of chemical synthesis and areas of chemistry that impact on biological systems.

Full-time study A standard full-time study load consists of 24 units per academic year, and 12 units per semester. The University and DIBP considers a 75% study load (9 units per semester or trimester) a full-time load. While international students can enrol in a 75% study load, it may result in their not completing their program within the standard duration. International students are required by DIBP to complete within the specified duration of the program.

136 Glossary / International representatives

Education Services for Overseas Students ActThe Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 provides consumer protection to international students studying in Australia. The Australian Government is committed to ensuring that students receive quality tuition, are treated fairly regarding payment of tuition fees and receiving refunds, and are offered support services to assist them to settle into Australia and complete their studies.

The Act also requires that the University assist the government to check that international students comply with their visa conditions, and advise the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) if its students breach visa conditions. More information is available on the University’s ESOS website at: www.adelaide.edu.au/esos
