A higher level undergraduate degree for high achieving Less common to pursue a Masters degree in Australia,
students, and more common than completing a Masters than in Europe
Example Study Timetable COMP1712: Software Engineering Principles and Practice ENGR1732: Engineering Mechanics BTEC3001: Plant Science to Food Biotechnology STEM2004: Advanced Geographical Information Systems
Timetable Information • A full time study load per semester is four topics. • Undertake a combination of lectures, tutorials, practicals, workshops and labs. • Arranging your timetable allows for flexibility – generally more than one option for a tutorial is available, and it is up to you to choose which day and time is most suitable for you. • Undertake a combination of lectures, tutorials, practicals, workshops and labs. • Lectures are recorded and available online after the session, so they are not compulsory to attend. This is especially helpful when there are timetable clashes. • There are less contact hours in Australia, which means there is a likelihood of having at least one day off during the week!
