Units and credit points
• Unit | a discrete component of study normally representing
150 hours of student workload, including contact hours,
personal study and examinations. A unit is usually studied for
the duration of one semester.
• Credit points | a numerical value assigned to units taught at
the University which indicates the relative amount of work
required to complete the unit. Most units are worth 6 points
each, but a small number of project units and some honours
units are worth 12 points each. The credit point value for each
unit is listed in its Handbook entry.
• To complete a three-year undergraduate bachelor’s pass
degree students complete units worth a total of 144 credit
points.
• To complete the four-year Bachelor of Philosophy
(Honours) degree students complete units worth a total of
192 credit points.
Learning progression
• Level | a progressive ranking applied to units, indicating the
amount of prior knowledge or maturity of learning required to
study it successfully.
• The first digit of the code reflects the unit level

learning that will help them meet the challenges
of a changing global world as graduates.
• All students are required to take four broadening
units.
Category A and Category B units
• Category A broadening units have as their main
focus some aspect of the globalised and culturally
diverse environment.

nearly all units offered by the University, subject to
the unit rules.
Broadening requirements
• To satisfy broadening requirements students must:
– include at least one Category A broadening unit from
the approved list; or
– participate in an approved Study Abroad or Student
Exchange program; or
– complete a language other than English (LOTE) unit,
providing that it is not in the same discipline as their
degree-specific major.
• Students can fulfil their remaining broadening requirements
by:
– Completing units from a second major chosen either from
outside their degree; or
– From the range of Bachelor of Arts language majors; or
– Passing electives chosen from outside their degree.

On-line learning modules
• As part of their academic orientation, students are expected to
complete three online, self-paced modules within the first 10 weeks of
their enrolment:
– Academic Conduct Essentials (ACE) introduces students to
the basic issues of ethical scholarship and the expectations of
correct academic conduct at this University. The fostering of
academic integrity is given high priority at UWA and is supported
by institutional policies and practices.
– Indigenous Studies Essentials (ISE) introduces students to the
shared learning space that The University of Western Australia
embodies. This learning space includes both western and
Indigenous knowledge systems.
– Communication and Research Skills (CaRS) assists students
in developing the ability to find and analyse information and to
express and articulate their ideas within an academic context,
through a series of online tutorials.
On-line learning modules
• ACE, ISE and CaRS are accessed via the University’s new
Learning Management System – Moodle (formally WebCT).
• Students are pre-enrolled and should be able to begin the
modules as soon as they have accepted their offer.

Questions?
Allocation of commencing students to an advising
faculty
• All commencing students are allocated to a faculty student advice
office.
• Data is gathered during the admission process about each student’s
TISC code, chosen course code and “area of interest”.
• Each “area of interest” is owned by a single Faculty.
• The TISC code, chosen course code, area of interest and enrolled
course code information is used to determine the most appropriate
advising Faculty allocation for each student.
• A SIMS job is run nightly to allocate &/or check the faculty student
advice office allocations
• Allocations are displayed in studentConnect and staffConnect
Allocation of commencing students to an advising
faculty
• Where a student has the Master of Professional Engineering
assured pathway TISC code and has chosen the Bachelor of
Science course, the advising faculty is Engineering,
Computing and Mathematics.
• For all other students the allocation process considers:
1. the “area of interest” chosen by the student at acceptance
2. If no area of interest is chosen, then the TISC code is
considered
3. If no matching admission “area of interest” or TISC code
information can be found then allocation is based on the
enrolled course code.
Assured pathways
• Assured entry pathway | a guaranteed place in one of the
professional postgraduate degrees on completion of any
undergraduate degree. A limited number of places are reserved for
appropriately qualified students at the time they are admitted to their
undergraduate course, subject to satisfactory progress and fulfilment
of prerequisites.
• Students can apply for an ‘Assured pathway’ when they make their
application through TISC.
• Assured entry pathways are offered for the following postgraduate
courses:
– Doctor of Dental Medicine
– Doctor of Medicine
– Juris Doctor (Law)
– Master of Professional Engineering
Assured pathways
•
Assured entry is also offered to some courses on completion
of specific major/s and any other prerequisites:
–
–
–
–
Master of Architecture
(Architecture and Integrated Design)
Master of Professional Engineering
(Engineering Science)
Master of Landscape Architecture
(Landscape Architecture)
Master of Music; Master of Music Education
(Music Studies & Specialist Music Studies)
Undergraduate diplomas (1 of 2)
(i) that enrolment in an undergraduate diploma normally be open only to graduates;
(ii) that a course leading to the award of an undergraduate diploma normally have the value of eight units
comprising a major: an approved unit sequence from Level 1 to Level 3;
(iii) that the unit sequence comprising a course for an undergraduate diploma be regarded in the same light
as a second major rather than a degree-specific major, and that therefore complementary units cannot
be prescribed as necessary adjuncts to the major;
(iv) that although the credit point value of an undergraduate diploma course must be 48 points, a student
may take additional units in order to meet prerequisites;
(v) that, as it would seldom be feasible to take all eight units across the three levels of a major within two
successive semesters, a student may not compress diploma studies into a full-time year unless (a) this
does not compromise the principle of learning progression in the relevant discipline, and (b) the
discipline offering the diploma is able and willing to schedule its offering of units accordingly, without
undue pressure on resources;
(vi) that, to prevent the possibility that a student could gain both a degree and an undergraduate diploma for
substantially fewer points than the two would separately require, the granting of credit (advanced
standing) towards a diploma for any completed unit that forms part of the chosen major be disallowed if it
has already been counted towards a degree course, and that, in such cases, the student be required to
take a replacement unit specified by the relevant discipline;
Undergraduate diplomas (2 of 2)
(vii) that a student may be permitted to proceed to an honours course on the basis of diploma results in the
relevant field, provided that this is subject to the normal rules for honours admission, course structure
and other matters;
(viii) that, subject to (xiii), to prevent proliferation of undergraduate diploma titles and repeated enrolment by
any student in sub-bachelor courses within the same area of knowledge, there be only four qualifications
available: Diploma in Arts, Diploma in Commerce, Diploma in Design and Diploma in Science – within
each of which a wide range of different majors may be offered;
(ix) that the University resolve to extend undergraduate diplomas beyond ‘skills-based’ fields, making them
potentially available in all fields that offer a major; and that the principle embodied in Rec. 29 in the
Review of Course Structures report be modified accordingly;
(x) that, subject to (xiii), concurrent enrolment in an undergraduate diploma and a bachelor degree be
disallowed after any students who are already so enrolled before 2012 have completed their diploma;
(xi) that, as the defined responsibilities of the Interim Boards of Studies (IBoS) include majors along with
related matters such as prerequisites, and undergraduate diplomas comprise majors in a different form,
the appropriate IBoS be responsible for advising Academic Council (through the Board of Coursework
Studies) on the approval and structure of any proposed undergraduate diploma;
(xii) that the rules for undergraduate diplomas be as shown in Appendix C pending clarification of
nomenclature for the diploma;
(xiii) that the Diploma in Modern Languages continue to be offered concurrently pending a comprehensive
review in 2013 to assess the desirability of its retention.
