Architecture graduates in demand The quality of our architecture degree program and final-year student exhibition means most of our architecture students are approached by employers before they graduate. Design concepts are based on real projects, and are exhibited to the community and employers. Our architecture students work on design briefs that inspire new ideas for community spaces. Graduate Shaun Purcell was in his third year when he received a prestigious award from the Royal Australian Institute of Architects for his design of a modern courthouse within Newcastle’s legal precinct. The award-winning design combined an eclectic mix of sandstone, breathtaking coastal views and glass atriums. Legal eagles In the competitive area of law our graduates are sought after for their professional skills gained through work in the University of Newcastle Legal Centre. Our students graduate with considerable real-life experience and can undertake additional practical training through our Professional Program. This program enables graduates to practise law upon completion of their degree, an opportunity few universities offer.

Newcastle is Australia’s seventh largest city and enjoys a lower cost of living than most other Australian cities. Living in Newcastle is more affordable than Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne, with a relaxed, less-crowded lifestyle.

The Australian Government has estimated that a single international student requires a minimum of AUD 18,000 per year (or AUD 9,000 per semester) for living expenses – accommodation and meals, incidentals, entertainment and local transport. This amount is set as part of your visa requirements. This does not include any allowance for costs associated with a student’s spouse, partner or dependants. Any school age dependants accompanying students to Australia will be required to pay full fees if the dependants enrol in a government or non-government school. Students should also have additional funds to pay for initial costs of getting established, textbooks and, where applicable, special equipment, transportation and temporary or additional accommodation. For example, nursing and education students may need an extra allowance for travel and temporary accommodation for some practical placements. For more information go to: www.immi.gov.au/students/student-visa-living-costs.htm Living Off Campus The average cost for a fully furnished room in a share house is between AU$120 and AU$160 per week. Unfurnished properties cost around AU$300-AU$400 per week for a 2 bedroom unit or house. In 2011, the average cost for everyday grocery products in Australia was: • AU$2.50 to AU$3.00 for a loaf of bread; • AU$2.20 to AU$2.90 for two litres of milk; • AU$1.30 to AU$3.00 for a newspaper; • AU$3.00 to AU$4.00 for a box of cereal; • AU$3.00 to AU$5.00 for a jar of instant coffee; There are a number of budget calculators online that can assist students in estimating their living expenses. The Australian Government’s budget calculator, Moneysmart, can be found at: www.moneysmart.gov.au/tools-andresources/calculators-and-tools/

LIVING OFF CAMPUS IN NEWCASTLE, THE CENTRAL COAST, OR SYDNEY For those students who do not wish to live on-campus, or who miss the application deadline for on-campus accommodation, the University offers assistance with finding off-campus accommodation. Homestay Service Homestay is a great way to learn about Australian culture and to practice your English, while making lifelong friendships with an Australian family. All families who offer Homestay accommodation have been interviewed and approved by University staff. You will experience the warm hospitality of a Homestay family, who will welcome you into their home as a gesture of friendship. Just as you are eager to learn about Australian culture, our Homestay families are looking forward to learning all about your country and culture. Students living in a Homestay are provided with a furnished room and can choose either 21 meals per week (breakfast, lunch and dinner daily), or 16 meals per week (breakfast and dinner from Monday to Friday, and breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturdays and Sundays).

Off-Campus Accommodation Service The off-campus accommodation service provides information about rental accommodation and maintains an interactive database of current accommodation options available to students. Students can access the online database of accommodation options prior to arrival in Australia but are strongly advised to personally visit any accommodation before making a final decision on where to live. It may take 2 or 3 weeks to find suitable accommodation so students should book temporary accommodation prior to their arrival in Australia. For further rental information or to access the database please visit: www.newcastle.edu.au/service/ accommodation/off-campus. Temporary Accommodation Students should consider organising temporary off-campus accommodation before arriving in Australia. This allows time to investigate and secure more permanent accommodation after arriving.

The 2012 Homestay Service Fees are: Placement Fee: AU$200 (paid once-only) Homestay with 21 meals: AU$210 per week Homestay with 16 meals: AU$195 per week To find out more about Homestay, including how to apply, please visit http://www.newcastle.edu.au/students/international/ student-support/arrival/homestay.html To find out more about Homestay options in Sydney, please visit www.newcastle.edu.au/sydney-cbd/student-services.html

SELECTING A DEGREE PROGRAM

SOME COMMON TERMS Program: A program is the generic term for a degree for which a student may study. Programs consist of a collection of courses which form a coherent program of study. Courses: Courses are subjects studied within a degree program. They are a direct unit of study for which academic results may be recorded. Faculty: For academic purposes the University is separated into divisions. The main academic divisions related to teaching and research are called faculties. The University of Newcastle has five faculties. Schools: Faculties are divided into schools, which are defined by disciplines. For example, the Faculty of Science and Information Technology has four schools. Electives: Electives are non-compulsory course subjects offered within a program. Electives offer students the opportunity to broaden their learning experience by allowing access to subjects of their choice. Some programs offer access to electives from programs or faculties outside the degree of enrolment, ie. a student enrolled in a Bachelor of Fine Art might elect to undertake an elective in philosophy. Core electives: Core electives are course subjects which can be chosen, and form a major component of study within a degree. Majors: Majors are non-elective course subjects which form a key component of study within the degree. Honours: Honours degrees are an additional qualification, usually of one years’ duration in the field the student gained their undergraduate degree. For example: a student might study for a Bachelor of Arts degree, then continue on and study for an additional year and achieve a Bachelor of Arts [Honours] degree. Problem-based Learning (PBL): Problem-based Learning or PBL was pioneered by the University of Newcastle some 25 years ago. Students apply their knowledge to solve problems they may encounter in a professional context and, in so doing, extend their experience beyond their text books. Elements of the work situation are brought into the classroom by the PBL approach. The problems increase with complexity as the program progresses. The PBL approach is highly regarded by students and employers and has been adopted by both Australian and international institutions. The PBL method is used in medicine, nursing, building, architecture, law and engineering. Term: Each academic year is divided into terms dependent upon how the courses are delivered. The academic year may be divided into either two semesters or three trimesters. Undergraduate programs are offered on a semester basis. Semester: A semester is half of the academic year, ie. Feb – Jun / July – Nov. First semester is usually followed by the midyear examinations, while second semester is followed by the end of year examinations. Each semester has a duration of 14 weeks, with a five week break between each. There is also a two-week break within each semester. Trimester: Trimesters separate the academic year into three, 12 week segments, ie. January – May / May – August / September – November. Trimesters only apply to postgraduate programs and postgraduate examinations are held at the end of each trimester. There is a break of three weeks between each 12-week trimester, which includes the exam period.

FACULTY OF HEALTH

Radiation therapy is one of the main treatment options for patients diagnosed with cancer. Radiation therapists are the health care professionals who design and implement courses of treatment for patients with malignant disease with the aim of curing or alleviating the disease burden. Radiation therapies use anatomical imaging (CTs, MRIs,) and functional imaging (PET, bone scans) studies to map in 3D and 4D the sites of disease, normal tissue and organ anatomy for patients. Radiation therapists use advanced software programs to design courses of treatment involving multiple, highly sculptured, high dose radiation beams, to target and destroy tumours, or radiation sources placed strategically within the body. Patients are treated daily up to six weeks, and a cancer diagnosis and related treatment can cause physical and psycho-social effects. Radiation therapists have high levels of interaction with their patients, and they need advanced communication skills as they have a significant role in monitoring the wellbeing of patients undergoing treatment.
