EXCHANGE If you are enrolled at one of Deakin’s designated exchange partners, you are eligible to come to Deakin as an Exchange student. You can study for one trimester or a full academic year and receive credit for your home degree.

To qualify as an Exchange student, you will need to be nominated by your home university. Exchange programs are run on a reciprocal basis, so you will continue to pay your tuition and student activity fees at your home university, rather than paying tuition fees to Deakin.

03

STUDY ABROAD Study Abroad programs are available if your institution does not have an exchange agreement with Deakin. Study Abroad students can study for a trimester or a full academic year at Deakin, and are normally required to pay upfront tuition fees to Deakin. Throughout this guide we will use the term Study Abroad to mean both Study Abroad and Exchange. Check out our fun new e-brochure – you can turn pages and look at pop-up galleries.

Trimesters Deakin University uses a trimester system, which is equivalent in course load and duration to the previous semester system. Two trimesters are still equal to a full academic year.

MELBOURNE CAMPUS AT BURWOOD The Cosmopolitan Campus

10

The Melbourne Campus at Burwood is a thriving metropolitan campus, with more than 12 000 undergraduate and postgraduate on-campus students. The Campus is located in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, about 45 minutes by tram from the city centre.

The Melbourne Campus at Burwood is noted for its modern architecture and facilities, which include the prestigious Icon Art Gallery, MotionLab, a purpose built gymnasium and sports hall, food court, restaurants and bar, internet café, excellent learning facilities, the IELTS Test Centre, health care services, campus shop and bookshop. The Melbourne Campus at Burwood also provides single room accommodation for 200 students in a mixed gender and multicultural environment.

Melbourne is a city you want to just sink into.

It is often referred to as one of the most liveable cities on earth. The city is big (over 3 million inhabitants), but the friendly attitude of its people still surprises me.

Every suburb has its own charm: St Kilda with its beautiful beach, Fitzroy with its rich artists life and alternative clothing shops, Richmond with its cheap Asian eateries and the sparkling city that never sleeps.

Melbourne has a wide range of different nationalities—we could learn a lot from the harmony in which they are living together. I would most certainly recommend Melbourne to students who consider studying overseas. Not for a moment I have doubted my choice for this vibrant city. It fits like a new coat I don’t want to take off…The people make you feel at home right away; I’ve never met more helpful and interactive people than the Melburnians.

Geelong is just a 15 minute car trip to the world famous surfing mecca of Bells Beach and only a 50 minute train ride to the heart of the Melbourne city!

“When I look back at all the memorable moments I can definitely say that living in Geelong and studying abroad at the Geelong Campus was the best thing I have ever done. It’s also great because it’s a smaller town so you develop closer friendships. I can honestly say not one bad thing about my experience in Geelong and studying abroad in Australia. It was awesome and I think being in Geelong made it even better!”

Warrnambool offers a truly unique opportunity for all students. The city has a thriving arts and events scene with restaurants specialising in local produce.

I loved Warrnambool!

It’s such a cruisey town.

I liked it ’cause it was so laid back. A surfer, hippy type of town.

You are right by the amazing beach, and only a train ride to the city (Melbourne). I think any type of person would love Warrnambool. As far as Deakin University goes, the teachers and staff were all so nice and helpful. The marine science program really is amazing. I really wish I could just transfer and finish school at Warrnambool.

Ebba was pleasantly surprised to discover the extent of involvement and engagement Deakin University has in the everyday life of students. An Exchange Program student from Uppsala University, Sweden, Ebba says, “The range of clubs, cafes and other amenities on campus encouraging students to socialise is not something I have come across in Sweden.”

Ebba feels that Deakin has given her more than just credit points towards her study back at Uppsala University. “I believe I have gained a lot more knowledge about different cultures, different ways of life and am enjoying experiencing the Australian way of life,” she says. “I got a wonderful chance to understand how a university on the other side of the world goes about the business of teaching and learning.”

Ebba’s first year at Deakin was a great experience she says.

“Deakin teachers and support staff have provided a lot of help during the transitory phase. The Beach Welcome Program was a fantastic way to help students break the ice and interact with other exchange students,” she says. Meeting students and other people from different parts of the world is truly enriching, she feels.

Ebba finds Australia a beautiful place, “The beautiful places that I have travelled to within Victoria itself have overwhelmed me.

The stunning beaches and wildlife and the numerous cultures and cuisines have made my study and stay in Australia an experience of a lifetime,” she says.

YOUR ACADEMIC PROGRAM Glossary of Terms UNITS Individual subjects or courses that make up a degree.

CREDIT POINTS The amount of credit given to each unit. The majority of Deakin units are worth 1 credit point.

UNIT CODE The 3 letter and 3 number code in front of the unit name eg. Srd263.

ASSESSMENT Method used to measure a student’s progression (ie. on assignments and/or exams). Result of the assessment is the basis of the grade awarded to the student.

TUTORIAL Smaller class used to discuss in detail topics raised in lectures.

UNDERGRADUATE The term given to studies undertaken at bachelor’s level, also know as a first degree.

POSTGRADUATE The term given to studies undertaken at master’s level, also known as a second degree.

24

DEAKIN COURSES Study Abroad students are enrolled as regular Deakin students, undertaking classes with Australian students. Deakin University degrees are made up of individual units (these are commonly called courses in North America), which are generally intended to be undertaken in specific years of a degree. In a Deakin undergraduate degree of three years’ duration, studies are taken at three levels: first year (100 level), second year (200 level) and third year (300 level), generally equivalent to second, third and fourth year of a US degree. Some Deakin degrees are longer in duration e.g. engineering, architecture and law and will be studied over four or five years.

TEACHING METHODS AND ASSESSMENT The Australian academic system is based upon the UK system. There is a range of teaching methods depending on your discipline of study. You will generally have a combination of lecture and tutorial classes. Lectures can vary in size from 35 to 200 students; tutorial classes are much smaller and allow for open discussion of issues raised in lectures. Depending on your discipline you may undertake laboratory classes. Fieldwork also forms a large part of some units of study. The formal contact hours vary across units, however great emphasis is placed upon independent study outside of class contact hours.

Most units above first-year introductory units have prerequisites which must be satisfied before admission will be approved. If you apply for admission to a unit that has prerequisites, Deakin faculties will look at your academic record to determine whether you have passed units comparable in content to Deakin prerequisites. Consequently, it is not advisable to apply for admission to an advanced level unit with prerequisites (i.e. 200 or 300 level) if you have no academic background in that discipline.

ASSESSMENT AND GRADING Final grades are based on assessment of written work, tests undertaken throughout trimester, participation in class or laboratory attendance and final examinations.

Most, but not all, undergraduate units involve an examination usually held at the end of the unit.

The weighting applied to each assessment procedure varies from unit to unit, however in many cases the final examination can be worth up to 70 percent of your final grade.

Grades awarded: HD (High Distinction) 80 – 100% D (Distinction) 70 – 79% C (Credit) 60 – 69% P (Pass) 50 – 59% N (Failure) 0 – 49%

CREDIT TRANSFER An official Deakin academic transcript will be issued upon the completion of your Study Abroad program. This transcript will usually be sent to the address you nominate in the Study Abroad application form. For ease of credit transfer, you should arrange approval of Deakin units with your home institution prior to arrival in Australia and it is highly recommended you check with your home institution the amount of credit you will have transferred to your home degree.

STUDY LOAD Study Abroad students must enrol in a fulltime load of 3–4 credit points per trimester. One Deakin credit is equivalent to 7.5 ECTS credits. Most units have a weighting of 1 credit point which means you should take 3–4 units (classes). As the Study Abroad tuition fee is a fixed fee, it remains the same regardless of the number of units taken.

ACADEMIC CALENDAR When planning your program, keep in mind that the Australian academic calendar follows the calendar year: Trimester 1: February to June study period Trimester 2: July to October study period Trimester 3: November to February study period.

SRD263 Architecture Design 2A S t1 1CP Prerequisite: SRD163 and SRD164 Contact hours: 2 hours of lecture/ presentation, 3 hours of studio per week.

This project-based unit develops an understanding of architectural design synthesis. The unit focuses on the complex relationship between the needs of the individual and the collective in the design of human settlements. This understanding requires building designers to acknowledge that the design of settlements has ethical, societal and environmental implications.

These issues will be addressed through the design of small to medium design projects, with an emphasis on abstraction, representation and materiality in the architectural design process.

Assessment: Project work 100%.

Assessment will be based on three design projects (30% each) 90% completed within specified time limits. Presentations will include drawings, models and other three dimensional work, graphic, oral and written work. The material submitted will be weighted according to difficulty and duration.

A portfolio of student work (10%) is required at the end of trimester.

SRA215 Utopian Ideals in the Modern World S t1 1CP Prerequisite: SRA143

Contact hours: 1 two-hour lecture, 1 two-hour tutorial per week.

Europe and America form the focus of this unit of study. Utopian ideals have in one way or other characterised our modern world since the mideighteenth century, as changing views of history led to shifting theoretical and philosophical frameworks, and extraordinary technological changes spurred architects into action and reaction.

Art and architecture are studied in the contexts of the diverse, rich, and multifaceted developments which have informed style and content. Modern architecture and meaning are examined, and modern movement ideas evaluated via the critical reactions to modernism.

This unit explores the principles of computer-aided drawing and modelling in the context of software applications commonly used in industry. Topics include geometric systems, graphic entity production, editing, layering, text and dimensioning, cells/blocks, library items, hatches, attributes and data extraction, plotting and file transfers. The advantages of 3D CAD over 2D applications is discussed and critiqued.

Assessment: Visual exercise 20%, tutorial journal 20% (attendance compulsory for all students), library research project 25% and essay 35%.

SRA316 Australian Perspectives S t2 1CP

SRT351 Construction and Structures 3 S t2 1CP Prerequisite: SRT251 Contact hours: 2 two-hour lectures, 1 one-hour tutorial per week.

This unit provides further understanding of construction technology through a systematic examination of the design of high-rise commercial scale buildings, assembly principles and the behaviour and adequacy of structural components. Topics include piling, basements, core design and construction, precast and prestressed concrete structures; curtain walling, roof membranes and drainage, partitioning and office fit-out. Emphasis is placed on the selection of appropriate systems, theoretical and on-site aspects, and the appropriate detailing of components. Frequent drawing/ sketching exercises are used to reinforce best practice.

Topics include heat loss and gain, thermal comfort calculation of ‘R’ and ‘U’ values, air movement and building ventilation, condensation, solar patterns and shading, passive and active heating and cooling systems, and general energy conservation strategies.

The use of software to produce energy ratings and life cycle assessments for simple buildings is introduced.

Assessment: Tutorial exercises 15%, assignment 35%, examination 50%.

Prerequisite: SRA143 and SRA215 Australia’s contribution to western culture is assessed and its many achievements recognised. In painting, sculpture and architecture, we explore the question ‘did the new continent inspire a new vision?’ In architecture we traverse the changes from Sydney’s elegant Georgian houses of the late eighteenth century to the exuberant Victorian excesses of the boom period towards the end of the nineteenth century.

Federation in Australia allows us to explore issues of nationalism, empire and the question of an appropriate national style. How does Australia wrestle with modernism?

The shift of the artistic centre from Paris to New York impacts on Australia too as intellectual and physical boundaries change.

Freedom of expression, constraints, allegiances and the creative spirit will be explored through the writings, ideals and the work of for example: the Sydney School and the Melbourne School. We conclude with contemporary issues facing architects and artists.

Assessment: Visual exercise 20%, tutorial journal 25%, research project 25%, essay 30%.

This unit, the first in a six unit major study in education, focuses on important concepts and theories which deepen understanding of school-aged young people.

Developing such an understanding is fundamental professional knowledge for teachers. The unit will enable students to understand a range of theories about commonality and diversity in human development and how these theories relate to learners as individuals and as groups. It will also enable students to explore how the development of all persons happens through culture; to understand aspects of the relationship between education and human development and to begin to appreciate the professional responsibility of teaching children and adolescents. Alongside this content focus, students will be inducted into appropriate university level study skills and will use of a wide variety of information and communication resources appropriate to beginning study at university level.

This unit is designed to introduce students to arts education, through the development of personal skills in arts practice and responding to the Arts (aesthetics, criticism and contexts) and secondly, in the design and development of curriculum implementation materials in the Performing Arts (music) and the Visual Arts. This work is informed by a study of current arts education initiatives such as the Victorian Essential Learning Standards; Curriculum Standards Framework II: The Arts (1999) and assessment strategies in current Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) and Department of Education documents.

Throughout the unit, links are made between relevant theories of teaching and learning and their application in classroom teaching in both the Performing Arts and the Visual Arts. For example, students develop a sequence of arts lessons as part of their workshop activities, which they implement and evaluate during the school Professional Experience program where possible.

The place of health and physical education in the primary school curriculum is examined. Practical approaches to learning and teaching health and physical education are explored with particular emphasis on achieving safety, equity, supportive environments and inclusiveness.

Current evaluation and assessment practices are reviewed and approaches to reporting on student achievement are developed.

Assessment: Two assignment tasks will be completed using both written and oral forms of representation where possible. They will require students to critically examine current practice in school settings and develop an understanding of the professional, industrial and social contexts of Health and Physical Education. The assignments will involve students in planning, teaching and reflecting on health and physical education lessons.

AIR109 Critical Issues in International Relations b g t2 1CP

AIR225 Global Environmental Politics b t2 1CP

AIR244 Conflict, Security and Terrorism b g t2 1CP

The unit introduces students to the study of Australian foreign policy.

First, there is an investigation of foreign policy decision-making and the domestic and international settings. This is followed by an examination of Australian identities and alignments in foreign policy: as a ‘middle power’, ‘ANZUS ally’, and as ‘part of the region’.

Contemporary foreign policy issues such as security, economic relations, environment and human rights are explored through these frameworks.

This unit examines a range of contemporary international issues, including US foreign policy, the Western world versus the rest of the world, the spread of democracy, the rise of China, ethics and foreign policy, secession, revolutions & anti-colonialism, Australia and the world, the global economy, the politics of environmental challenges, the United Nations, contemporary security issues, and the future of regionalism.

Global environmental problems are often regarded as part of a new agenda in international relations, potentially requiring a re-evaluation of traditional notions of international politics such as national sovereignty and political economy. This unit introduces students to the basic concepts necessary for students of international politics in examining how global environmental problems such as climate change, ozone depletion, hazardous waste and biodiversity loss are challenging and changing the world system. The unit pays particular attention to how states, multilateral organizations, transnational corporations and non-government actors shape the international system. This unit will enable students to develop the following skills:

This unit examines the key concepts in security studies: power, conflict, terrorism and the security of the nation state. We begin by looking at the evolution of strategic thought from classical times to the present.

We then focus on some of the current debates within the field: nuclear strategy (including the deterrence or defence debate arising from ballistic missile defence) proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, modern warfare (including terrorism and other forms of non-traditional warfare), and the revolution in military affairs.

Some people when they leave Australia after staying here for only a small period of time bring back heaps of tangible souvenirs. But for me it was different, I lived here, what I brought back home from the land down under were memories of my good Aussie friends. I also brought back experience, being able to live in a different country, going to the market and knowing what brands of food are good to buy, or even knowing where the good bakery was. Being able to do all this really changes you, when you go to your home country you are more independent and more self sufficient. I’m so glad I went to Deakin University and I will definitely be back to work and live in Australia when I graduate from uni.

Thanks for a magnificent trimester at Deakin.

When I arrived everything was well-thought out and planned. I settled in nicely and have no negatives experiences from my trip except the bittersweet goodbyes I have to say to the people I’m leaving. I suppose that’s nothing to complain about though. Again, thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the international program here. It’s a first-rate program!

Working methods and equipment choice will be dictated by the project and students may choose from a range of camera formats including digital, medium format and 35mm colour or black and white. Critique sessions will be held regularly to discuss work in progress and offer feedback to students.

This unit can be taken either with a Practical or a Research focus.

This subject studies the relationships between modernism, postmodernism and the Western drama of this century, so that students will be closely familiar with the main authors, forms and geopolitical sites that constitute the mainstream of the modern and postmodern paradigms of theatre and drama. The unit explores contemporary theories of the stage and identifies the problems involved in thinking of drama as both text and stage performance. It will also examine the political and cultural dimensions of theatre and drama in the modern and postmodern periods.

In this unit students are shown how the Photographic Studio is a constructed and stylised space separate from the external found world. The studio offers a potential for synthetic visualization plus an element of experiential and professional practice not found in other units. From its origins of portrait painting, through the postwar period of creative advertising and arriving in the contemporary tableau and psycho-dramatic style, studio photography is a technical and artistic discipline for students with professional and creative aspirations. Topics in this unit include:

Assessment: One 2000 word research essay 40%, seminar/ workshop presentation 20%, practical scene study 40%.

OTHER SUGGESTED UNITS ACV203 Studio Art: Visual Narrative b W t1 1CP

ACM203 Photographic Practice b t1 1CP

This unit will include analysis and discussion of a wide range of visual narratives employed in visual images in the twentieth century. Like cinema, illustration has implemented visual narratives, via sequential imagery and established potent relationships between representations and text. Advertising, cartoons, picture story/books and comics communicate through image and word combinations. This unit will prioritise the structural and imaginative strategies significant to the development of visual narratives in singular (i.e. cartoons and advertisements) and sequential imagery (i.e. comics and picture story books). Analysis will focus on the development of figure/ characters, locations/settings and visual narration via story boarding.

Prerequisite: ACM101

Assessment: Story book mockup suitable for submission to a publisher 70%, journal of notes, collected material, drafts and resources 30%.

ACV204 Studio Art: Graphic Novels and Artists’ Books b W t1 1CP Activities in this unit will include exploring practical and theoretical considerations which effect the development of multiple, non-linear narratives. Contemporary narration in such visual art forms as comics and graphic novels has explored complex issues such as feminism, ecology and other socio-political agendas as well as recasting familiar comic book characters. Students will be able to explore forms of narration through a series of small practical projects relating to comics, advertising and storyboard images, which will be supplemented by excursions to galleries.
