www.unsw.edu.au | UNSW International Undergraduate Guide 2011 | 17Shawna Ng Hui Min,21Bachelor ofLandscapeArchitectureFor me, university life is more than study. It’s about embracingnew experiences, new cultures and new ways of thinking.UNSW offers me this - and so much more.I am fortunate to be living in one of the most cosmopolitancities in the world, making new friends from around the globeand studying landscape architecture alongside internationallyrecognised academics and industry leaders.Since the day I arrived, I’ve been supported by UNSW StudentDevelopment - International, Arc student organisation andfaculty staff to become more independent and to cope with theresponsibilities of living and studying abroad.I attended their seminars, tours and talks to get a betterunderstanding of the Australian way of life, and to find out aboutall the resources and services available to overseas students. Andthe free barbecues were a great way to meet other students fromhere and overseas!Fortunately my classes are small, which means there is plentyof time to ask questions, discuss issues and solve problems. Ifeel encouraged to speak my mind and to develop my uniquepassions and talents.I chose the Faculty of Built Environment at UNSW because ithas a great international reputation, is recognised as a leaderin sustainable development, and takes a hands-on approach toteaching and learning. We participate in regular field trips, studiowork and competitions.We also work with students from other faculties on real-worldprojects. In 2009 I collaborated with interior design andarchitecture students from UNSW to produce a light installationthat celebrated the 50th anniversary of Australia’s iconic NationalInstitute of Dramatic Art (NIDA).And thanks to the UNSW Learning Centre workshops, I’ve learntsome fundamental skills, such as essay writing, that will stand mein good stead for my university and working life.Of course, nothing compares with the lifelong friendships I’vemade both on and off campus. In a vibrant city like Sydney,there’s always something new to enjoy, and someone new toshare the experience with.

www.unsw.edu.au | UNSW International Undergraduate Guide 2011 | 25Roberta Andrade, 21Bachelor of Arts -InternationalRelations majorBrazilian student Roberta Andrade wants to save the world,and thinks the University of New South Wales, and soccer, canhelp. The 21-year-old Arts student from São Paulo wants to fightpoverty at home in Brazil and sees her major in InternationalRelations in her Bachelor Arts program as the important first step.She’s also a champion soccer player and believes internationalsport can be harnessed as a force for good.“I want to savethe world,” she says, her motivation stemming from theenvironmental damage and the dire poverty she has seen inBrazil.“It hurts when you see people destroying the Amazon,displacing animals and then treating them badly.”However, of even greater concern to her is the level of povertyin Brazil: “When I came to Australia and experienced life here, Irealised how pronounced poverty is in Brazil and I want to do all Ican to help.”For Roberta the Bachelor of Arts program is ideal, because itoffers such a wide range of courses. She’s especially happy withthe opportunity to study the Asia-Pacific region and Australia,which are not focused on in South America. “You can beanything you want and I know that my degree will open manydoors for me,” she says. Roberta is interested in diplomacy andinternational law and would ideally like to work for the UnitedNations in poverty alleviation.Like most Brazilians, Roberta loves soccer, and won a positionon the UNSW women’s soccer team to represent UNSW at theAustralian University Games.“The Uni Games were such a great experience. They were lotsof fun and it was a good opportunity to meet other studentsinterested in sports,” she says.Roberta has adjusted smoothly to life in her newly adopted city ofSydney. What she loves most about Sydney is the chance to liveso close to nature and the bush. She says coming to Australia hasbeen a long term dream, and her parents decided to let her goon the condition she studied while she was away.“I love living in Sydney and going to UNSW.

www.unsw.edu.au | UNSW International Undergraduate Guide 2011 | 27Interdisciplinary StudiesInterdisciplinary studies offer many advantages. Employers increasinglyvalue graduates with in-depth skills and knowledge in more than onesubject area. They allow you flexibility – perhaps you are not sure whichof two different subject areas you wish to study. They also add varietyto your period of study – four years of one major can be hard work forsome students.There are several ways in which you can build an interdisciplinary aspectinto your studies at UNSW.Double Major vs Single MajorFor some programs, such as the Bachelor of Commerce or the Bachelorof Arts, it is possible to complete a double major. The structure of theprogram changes slightly but the duration of the program is the sameas the single major degree. In some cases the second major can befrom another Faculty. For example, students completing a Bachelor ofArts can complete a second major in Mathematics, which is offered bythe Faculty of Science. Double majors are not possible when enrolled ina combined program.Fast Track ProgramsStudents who are enrolled in approved four-year bachelor degreeprograms and have completed their third year of study may apply forentry to an approved master degree program. The structure of theprogram will allow a reduction in total study time required, usuallyreducing the normal completion time by one semester.Concurrent ProgramsConcurrent programs are undergraduate diplomas studied part timewhile completing a full-time degree. Students usually apply aftercompleting a period of their bachelor degree program. At UNSW thereare currently three such programs. They are the Diploma in InnovationManagement (page 59), the Diploma in Languages (page 59) and theDiploma in Music (page 65). Their completion will result in a longeroverall period of study, additional fees and the need to extend theoriginal student visa.Combined ProgramsA program of study that results in the completion of two degreeawards. Though these are completed in less time than if the twodegrees were studied separately, the duration of most combinedprograms is significantly more than that of a single pass or honoursdegree. As an example there is a combined Bachelor of Art Theoryand Bachelor of Laws program. This combination would suit a personinterested in the area of copyright law, perhaps representing theinterests of artists. If you are interested in the human psychologybehind marketing then you could complete a marketing major withinthe Bachelor of Commerce degree combined with a psychology majorin the Bachelor of Science degree.

For students entering Semester 2 (July)the fees for their first semester studies will be calculated at the rateapplicable for that year. In Semester 1 of the following year fees willreflect the rates for the new academic year.If you have an offer to study at UNSW and defer the start date into thenew calendar year then the fees will be set at the current fee rates forthe year you commence your studies.Note: If you are required to complete a course again, you will berequired to pay for it at the current rate.Other Study-Related CostsIn addition to tuition fees some programs and courses have additionalassociated costs such as laboratory kits, field trip expenses andequipment costs. The likely costs the average student will incur eachyear when studying at UNSW have been estimated. Of these costs,any that are compulsory have been calculated into the total programfee listed in the Program Information section starting on page 32. Anysignificant costs are highlighted where applicable.Though textbooks are not considered a compulsory cost, it is wise tobudget about A$1,000 per year for this purchase.Please note that the total estimated costs (tuition plus other studyrelatedcosts) will be shown on your Confirmation of Enrolment Form(CoE) which will be issued on acceptance of an offer of admission toUNSW.Living CostsThe University estimates that a single international student requiresA$18,000 to A$20,000 to cover living expenses in each year of study.This amount would include accommodation costs, food and other dailyliving expenses. However, students should have at least A$2,500 whenfirst arriving in Sydney to cover the initial establishment expenses suchas rental bond payment and to purchase basic furniture items. (Seepage 80 for further information on living costs).Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)If studying on a student visa you will be required to have OSHC. UNSWexpects all international students to take out program length cover. Thecost of this depends on the provider you choose and the length of theprogram you are studying. UNSW’s preferred Health Cover provider isWorldcare. For more information please see page 79 or visit:www.oshcworldcare.com.auWhen to Pay Your FeesIf you receive an offer letter from the University the letter willcontain instructions on how to accept the offer. Just after enrollingyou will pay your tuition fees for your first semester less the tuitionfees deposit. Payment is usually due one week after the start ofsemester.

www.unsw.edu.au | UNSW International Undergraduate Guide 2011 | 31Sarah van deKlundert, 26Bachelor ofCommerce/Bachelor of ScienceI thought UNSW was great from the moment I set foot on thecampus from the main section, coming off Anzac Parade. Thebuildings were shiny and the lawns green. Being an internationalstudent I had never seen a proper campus before and I wasimmediately impressed. Five years later I am coming to the end ofmy studies at UNSW, the university which has opened the doorsto the big scary world.I started out as a Commerce student but discovered quickly thatpure business was not what I wanted to do. For an additionalyear at uni I could enrol in a combined Commerce/Scienceprogram allowing me to continue doing finance, but also addingpsychology for my own interest. Most people thought it was anodd thing to be doing finance and psychology combined, but Irealise now more than ever that I could not have chosen a bettercombination. The finance part of my degree has given me thebusiness edge whereas psychology has allowed me to developmy research and critical analysis skills. The combination of the twohas helped me grow confident in my academic abilities and alsointerpersonal skills.When I step through those doors I can choose to follow one ofmany paths. I am a convert of Science, a lover of Psychology andextremely business minded.

In addition, students engagein an independent learning research project over 32weeks.Phase 3Independent Reflective Learning consists of moduleswith a clinical focus, but still includes relevant contentfrom the basic medical and social sciences. Studentswill be attached to real work teams and will be inpositions of increasing responsibility. The settingsfor these experiences represent a balance withinhospitals, ambulatory practice and those involvingboth.There are four principal organisers called domainswhich organise the program through all three phases,and provide an explicit mechanism for verticalintegration of content. Within each domain, thereare four major themes which provide opportunitiesfor students to engage content in an integratedfashion in the contexts of health scenarios, clinicalpresentations, or specific patient problemsencountered during clinical experience.Domain 1Beginnings, Growth and Development: Conception,Pregnancy and Birth; Childhood Growth andDevelopment; Puberty, Adolescence, Sexuality andRelationships; Nutrition, Growth, and Body Image.Domain 2Health Maintenance: Homeostasis, Sustenance,and Equilibrium; Education, Health Promotion, andDisease Prevention; Host Defence; Lifestyle FactorsThat Risk Health.Domain 3Ageing and Endings: Menopause; The AgeingProcess; Degenerative Disease; Death, Dying andPalliative Care.Domain 4Society and Health: Society, Culture and Genes;Socioeconomic Determinants of Health; HealthDelivery Systems; Health and Human Rights.Career Opportunities andRegistrationAfter completing formal program requirements forthe award of the MBBS degree, the new graduate is`registered’ by a medical board and works for at leastone year in selected hospitals before obtaining finalregistration as a medical practitioner. Internationalstudents should check with registration bodies toconfirm the registration process.A further period of at least five years experience andspecialised study under the supervision of one ofthe specialist colleges is required before specialistqualifications can be obtained.

How does DNA determineour appearance and how do plants trap and use theenergy of sunlight?Biological Science (Animal Behaviour, Cell Biologyand Environmental Science, Evolution and Genetics,Invertebrate Zoology, Australian Mammals, MarineBiology, Plant Physiology, Systematics and Taxonomy)Biology is the study of life and living organisms. Itbrings together and makes use of many areas ofscience and encompasses all aspects of plant andanimal biology including how they interrelate witheach other and interact in and with the environment.Biotechnology involves harnessing microbial, plantand animal cells and their components for the benefitof people. The essential feature of biotechnology isthe use of biological processes based on living cellsand biochemical molecules such as proteins, DNAand RNA.Chemistry deals with the design, synthesis, analysisand properties of molecules. The study of chemistrywill appeal to those with an enquiring, analyticalmind and good powers of observation anddeduction.Environmental Earth Science studies the history ofchange on Earth. The origins of continents, oceans,atmosphere and the planet itself are considered fromvarious perspectives. It examines the beginnings oflife; the evolution of fauna and flora from geneticand fossil evidence; the relationships between Earth’sgeological environments and their associated lifeforms, and the effects of change, both natural andman made on soil, water and landscape.Ecology is the science of the relationships betweenorganisms and their environments. To conserve ournatural environment we need to understand howanimals and plants interact with one another as wellas their environment, both on land and in the sea.Environment and Society* examines the interfacebetween environmental science and environmentalstudies allowing students a deeper understandingof environmental issues and better preparation forscience graduates in areas such as environmentalpolicy.Food Science involves the understanding of basicsciences and the application of this knowledgeto foods from the point of production up toconsumption by consumers. It concerns foodprocesses, commodities, composition and quality(including sensory properties, safety and nutritionalvalue).Genetics is the study of the basis of inheritance,of DNA and genes. It investigates the way inwhich biological information is passed on fromone generation to the next, as well as how thatinformation is used and stored. Molecular geneticistsstudy the way in which DNA forms genes and thegenes make proteins, and how DNA forms the basisof the way all living things look and function.Geography is the study of spatial and temporalvariations of the phenomena that make up naturaland human-dominated environments.Geology is the science of the earth, its constitutionand evolution in a broad sense. It includes surveyingmetallic ore deposits, fossil fuels and groundwaterresources, and applying geological knowledge in arange of engineering and environmental contexts.History and Philosophy of Science* is aninterdisciplinary field that examines the past, presentand future of science, technology, society andmedicine from various ‘meta’ perspectives. As wellas the history, philosophy and sociology of sciencetechnology and medicine, the field incorporatesscience and technology policy and important aspectsof environmental studies.Marine Science (Marine Biology, Marine Geology,Physical Oceanography) looks at all aspects of themarine environment from ocean currents to dolphincommunication. It encompasses many sciencesfrom geology and physics to engineering and foodtechnology. Marine Science can be studied with anemphasis on biology, earth sciences, environmentalchemistry, oceanography or physical oceanography.Materials Science is the underlying science of highperformance materials (metals, ceramics, plastics,composites, electronic materials and biomaterials),making things from them and predicting theirperformance.

www.unsw.edu.au | UNSW International Undergraduate Guide 2011 | 73Frederick Chi Wai Lui,29Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of SurgeryFrederick Chi Wai Lui was a young physiotherapist for the HongKong youth soccer team when he realised he wanted to get offthe sidelines and into the action. He didn’t want to pull on a teamjersey, despite his love of sport. But, he did want to be able torun onto the field when a player was injured.As a physiotherapist, Fred’s role was limited to rehabilitationafter injuries. Now a third year medical student at UNSW, Fredis looking forward to providing “exemplary and empatheticcare” to a wide range of patients in the next stage of his careeras a doctor. “I want to be able to help in an emergency. Themore I learn about medication and surgery, the more I can helppatients,” he says of his building medical skills.Initially, Fred considered a PhD in physiotherapy and wasaccepted to several high profile universities in the USA andAustralia. But, he chose to “start over” in medicine at UNSW onthe advice of several prominent surgeons in Hong Kong. As akeen soccer and badminton player, Fred was naturally interestedin sports medicine. Studying medicine at UNSW, however, hasopened his mind to other specialties, such as cardiology.The beauty of his medical degree at UNSW is that he can choosehis specialty further down the line, after being exposed to a rangeof different areas of medicine. As part of his course at UNSW,Fred gains valuable clinical experience at major Sydney teachinghospitals; St. Vincent’s and Prince of Wales. Every other week hegoes from ward to ward meeting with patients which he says is awelcome relief from the textbooks.During a summer break Fred got some “real life” experience, inboth medicine and the Australian lifestyle. Through UNSW he wasgiven the opportunity to shadow a General Practitioner in thebeachside country town of Lennox Head, near the Queenslandborder. He was able to stay with the doctor’s family for threeweeks and observe her at either the local hospital or her privatepractice. “I saw first hand what life as a rural doctor would reallybe like. It was a fantastic experience,” he says, and one notavailable in Hong Kong.Fred has embraced life in Australia and has even learnt to playthe popular, local “touch footy”. Although he misses his familyhe says they have encouraged him to study at UNSW. “My familywanted me to experience global trends in the medical field andto mature and develop as a person. I have been so excited to behere, that I haven’t experienced any culture shock.”

The onlyexceptions to this requirement are for students from Sweden andNorway, who are not required to pay for OSHC if they can provideproof of official health insurance cover from their home governmentprovider. New students are encouraged to purchase OSHC cover forthe length of their program of study (standard program duration minusgiven advanced standing duration, if any). The OSHC Worldcare feesare listed on the offer of admission letter.There are four registered providers of OSHC and UNSW’s preferredprovider is OSHC Worldcare (www.oshcworldcare.com.au/unsw). If youdecide to purchase your OSHC from the University’s preferred provider,you can arrange it yourself or through the University when paying yourtuition fee deposit. If you ask the University to arrange it for you, wewill receive a commission which is used to improve services to students.If you decide to purchase your OSHC from one of the other providers,you will not be disadvantaged but you must arrange it directly withthe provider yourself. The other OSHC providers are: BUPA AustraliaHealth, Medibank Private and Australian Health Management (AHM).Further information about other OSHC providers is available from theAustralian Department of Health and Ageing.www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/privatehealth-consumers-overseascover.htmYou must pay for OSHC before being issued with a student visa or,in the case of continuing students, before being granted a furtherTemporary Entry Permit.
