The focus continues to be on the development of academic writing. Permission of the Head of Department is required before enrolling. In addition to accredited units a number of non-credit courses are scheduled throughout the year. Pre-sessional programs are held before the start of each semester to introduce new students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, to the demands of Australian university life. During semester, workshops on various types of academic writing, on exam preparation, on grammar and on other related topics are also held.
Individual consultations are available throughout the academic year.
Introductory Mathematics and Computing Courses Introductory Mathematics and Computing courses are offered by the Learning Centre for Numeracy Skills, located in C5A 225. For students who wish to upgrade their mathematical skills through independent study, the Centre will be able to recommend a self-study course. Given interest and demand from students, the Centre may also run workshops. The Centre is open Monday to Saturday at set hours during the term, when staff are available for free consultation. Timetables may be obtained from the Centre.
