An Arts degree has the potential to open career doors to the world. Your degree will be supported by academics who are internationally recognised.

With today’s fast pace of change, you need a business degree that’s going to keep up.

Become an in-demand computing professional. Our real-world experience will give the edge.

It’s why we’ve revamped our Bachelor of Business to be more tailor made to the challenges and demands of changes in industry, technology and careers. With a course structure unique to Western, you build your degree as you go to best suit your area of specialisation. We’ve opened the degree to majors right across the university. This means, unlike traditional degrees, you can now choose majors outside the business stream to give you a more diverse set of skills and knowledge.

If you want to develop advanced programming skills or a thorough technical understanding of modern networked computer systems, or sound skills in the discipline of information systems security, then our Computing degrees are tailor-made for you.

You will find yourself immersed in Cultural and Social Analysis, Creative Writing, Digital Cultures, International Relations and Asian Studies, Languages or Psychological Studies to name just a few major areas of study. Combine your studies to broaden your horizons with Business, Information Technology, Law, Science or Teaching. Career opportunities Study in the humanities is designed to develop communication and personal skills, creativity and capacity for independent thought, adaptability to new situations, and problemsolving skills. As a graduate, you may find employment as an arts administrator, teacher (with further study), writer, author, journalist, politician, diplomat, community planner, librarian, historian, publisher or researcher. Career opportunities also exist in nongovernment organisations and communitybased industries, overseas organisations and in social policy development. The wide range of double degrees on offer provides scope for further career opportunities. Find out more Contact the Course Information Centre on 1300 897 669 or study@westernsydney.edu.au ≥ PAGE 66

What’s more, with Western, you begin your major in the first year of study. No more waiting to dive into the areas that interests you most. And depending on the majors and electives you choose, the Bachelor of Business can also see you graduate with industry specific accreditation from Australia’s leading institutions. Taught out of our innovative Parramatta City campus, the mix of theory and participation in real world industry projects doesn’t just get you work ready, it has you ready to thrive. You’ll soon find that this unique degree isn’t the old way of doing business. Career opportunities These courses provide the foundations for the development of Australia’s future business leaders. As a graduate, you may seek a management traineeship, become involved in a management consultancy or find a career associated with the discipline in which you complete a major. Examples include employment in public practice, taxation consulting, merchant banking, financial services management, economic advising, roles in service-oriented businesses, employment relations, human resources, industrial relations, marketing firms, operations or logistics organisations, international property, property development and valuation firms.

With our professionally recognised degrees in Computing, Information and Communications Technology and Information Systems you will be able to pursue exciting opportunities in diverse areas of technology development and application to address the global goals and challenges set by humanity. And if you are a budding entrepreneur in the field of computing, our new Bachelor of Entrepreneurship (Games Design and Simulation) will help you develop the mindset, risk tolerance, creativity, passion, big thinking, team formation and leadership capabilities, needed by high-impact entrepreneurs who want to be game-changers and pursue their ideas all the way to a technology start-up.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

LAW

MEDICINE

Industrial design is a vital part of modern-day living. Every day we encounter products designed and manufactured with the intention of making our lives easier.

Western’s courses are a unique alternative to more traditional law schools, with community law activities that give you real world experience.

Advances in medicine rely on advances in knowledge. It’s why 10 years ago Western Sydney University created a new kind of School of Medicine.

It is industrial designers, incorporating a lateral and cross-disciplinary approach to problem-solving, who create the most useful products.

Here’s just one example of how our law students gain experience through interaction. Since 2010, the University has operated the Parramatta Community Justice Clinic, providing a much-needed service, while giving students a unique learning opportunity. Experiences like this empower you to make positive change in the world, wherever your degree takes you.

Since then we’ve seen over 600 graduates enter the medical profession and make a difference. Our Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery offers an innovative degree that combines problem-based learning and intensive clinical practice with leading theory and research. As you progress through the degree you’ll find yourself moving from classroom to clinical placements ensuring the utmost competence and confidence in your future career. But our innovation doesn’t stop with how you’ll learn. It carries through to where you’ll learn too. Taught out of our Campbelltown Campus, our world class facilities boast stimulated learning spaces for clinical skills learning, an anatomy laboratory, state of the art research facilities, and our brand new neuroscience behavioural investigation laboratory. It’s why our School of Medicine is one of the most advanced medical training centres in Australia.

The primary focus of our Industrial Design and Design and Technology degrees is ensuring that our graduates are industry-ready, able to think strategically and provide innovative product and user experience (UX) solutions in a commercial context. Practical work experience opportunities, encouraging professional development, are an integral part of our design programs. Career opportunities As a graduate, you may find employment as an in-house or consultant industrial designer, in a product development team for areas such as: medical products, furniture, digital wearables, architectural products, building design, sports equipment, smart gadgets or develop new products for an internet of things (IoT) start-up business.

Our lecturers will challenge, stretch and inspire you, and our connection with prominent, respected professional networks will set you up for career success. Law programs are offered at the Campbelltown and Parramatta campuses. Both offer excellent facilities, including moot courts for practising advocacy skills, a comprehensive library and computer-based law research facilities. In 2018, you will have even more options to combine your studies with another degree.

As a graduate of our Design and Technology program you may work as a product designer or follow a pathway to our Masters of Teaching to become a technological and applied studies teacher in NSW high schools. Here you apply your STEM and Industrial Design skills such as design thinking, graphics, manufacturing or even 3D printing and making in a classroom environment.

Career opportunities In our Law programs, special emphasis is placed on professional legal skills. As a graduate, you may find employment in legal practice as a solicitor or barrister, and roles in the banking and finance sector, accounting firms and management consultancies, corporate management, education and publishing, government departments and regulatory authorities, marketing, human resources and telecommunication industries.

Our research doesn’t just happen in the lab. We work with regional, national and international partners to deliver research that has a positive impact on the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of our communities. Responding to the challenges faced by the communities we serve, our research work is focused on four key themes: Urban Living and Society Our research in this area seeks to understand and guide change in the economy, our society and the culture we live in. Our research work shows how the places we live, the work we do, the way we describe ourselves and the relationships we form interrelate. Health and Wellbeing We take an integrated approach to health research, based on the assumption that the environments in which we live, the cultural background from which we come and the work we do all affect our physical and mental health. Our research explores how health initiatives can prevent disease and illness, encourage healthy lifestyles in individuals and communities, and reduce the cost and impact of illness. Education: Access, Equity, Pathways and Aspirational Change We draw on the diversity of Western Sydney to underpin research that explores education access on a global scale. This research theme respects the economic, social and cultural aspirations of the individuals and communities we support. We are committed to realising the opportunities offered by new pedagogies and transformational technologies for all of our students.

Responding to regional, national and global priorities, we deliver tangible outcomes through the work of our four research institutes: HAWKESBURY INSTITUTE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT ≥ HAWKESBURY CAMPUS Investigating the impact of climate change on native trees and forests. westernsydney.edu.au/hie INSTITUTE FOR CULTURE AND SOCIETY ≥ PARRAMATTA CAMPUS Research to meet the challenges of our changing social landscape. westernsydney.edu.au/ics MARCS INSTITUTE FOR BRAIN, BEHAVIOUR AND DEVELOPMENT ≥ BANKSTOWN CAMPUS Dedicated to understanding the scientific basis of human communication. westernsydney.edu.au/marcs AUSTRALIA-CHINA INSTITUTE FOR ARTS AND CULTURE Forging a greater understanding of Chinese culture, relationships with Chinese universities and supporting students studying Chinese language and culture. westernsydney.edu.au/alumni

Environmental Sustainability We are in the midst of unprecedented global environmental changes affecting the world. These are creating new challenges that range from contested land use, to urban and agricultural climate change adaptation, to biodiversity conservation and new interdisciplinary ways of engaging with socio-ecological dynamics. Our research takes a practical and collaborative approach to solving these challenges by focusing on maintaining and managing the diversity of urban ecologies, and agricultural and natural systems. westernsydney.edu.au

Associate Professor Catherine Attard 2016 AUSTRALIAN AWARD FOR TEACHING

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my teaching, the students need to see the relevance of what they experience at university, so I make sure that everything I do is going to be useful to their future careers. I give my students assessments that are real and relevant, and replicate the jobs of an actual teacher, such as assessing students and creating interesting maths tasks.â&#x20AC;?

THE COLLEGE Entry Articulation UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION STUDIES TO BACHELOR DEGREE ARTICULATION REQUIREMENTS

At the completion of each term of the University Foundation Studies program, students will receive a number called a Grade Point Average (GPA). The highest GPA attainable is 10. These GPAs will largely determine a student’s academic progression to the next term or course. The minimum articulation requirements for Western Sydney University courses are listed opposite. Courses which have a high demand or limited places available will usually have a higher GPA requirement. See table for minimum requirements for entry into an undergraduate degree for University Foundation Studies program students.
