FIVE-STAR SALARIES TEN YEARS IN A ROW HHHHHuoW has scored the maximum five-star rating for graduate salaries from the independent Good Universities Guide every year since 1999. under the Guide’s rating system, only the top 20% of universities in australia can be awarded five stars in any one category.

uoW continues its commitment to the graduate employment outcomes for all students and in 2008 has launched a program especially to help international students improve their employment prospects—see the certificate in global Workplace Practice below for more information.

For individuals to achieve great graduate outcomes there are four key steps:

Find your direction �explore your options �discover your employability �get your job �

FIND YOUR DIRECTIONthe uoW careers service has qualified career counsellors available to all students to assist you in getting more career focus and clarifying where you want to go.

this is a very important step if you are planning on working in australia. australian employers look for graduates who know where they want to go in their careers.

We encourage you to visit the careers service office in Building 11 or to have a look at the careers website www.uow.edu.au/careers

EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONSIn addition to the qualified career counsellors, the uoW careers service has a wealth of resources available to all students to get help researching possible careers related to your degree.

uoW has built good relationships with many national and local employers who come on-campus to present information sessions that may help you in your research of possible careers.

You could also get involved in many different work experience programs (see below), which will help you to explore possible future industries, employers or careers.

DISCOVER YOUR EMPLOYABILITYuoW has many different ways to help you to develop your skills and experience and reflect on them for future job seeking.

First, many courses include periods of compulsory industry placement. Faculties which currently offer courses with mandatory industry placements include:

education �engineering �Health & Behavioural sciences �Informatics �

For specific information, please turn to the relevant faculty’s section in this course guide, or visit the courseFinder on the Internet at coursefinder.uow.edu.au

second, in many disciplines there are opportunities for industrial experience. our revised programs in Professional engineering and Professional accounting integrate into the curriculum workplace learning and the opportunity for an industry work experience program.

Vacation work experience is a trial period for both student and employer to gain some understanding of each other.

For more information please visit ‘Industrial experience/Vacation Work’ on ‘My JobBoard’ at www.uow.edu.au/careers/jobboard/vacation.html

third, the uoW careers service has developed many innovative programs available to all students which give you the opportunity to gain valuable experience and practical skills from working with employers.

CERTIFICATE IN GLOBAL WORKPLACE PRACTICEas part of the uoW commitment to improving the employment prospects of international students, the uoW careers service employed extra staff to set up a new program called the certificate in global Workplace Practice (cgWP).

I was searching for the right path for me to explore and understand employment practice from resume preparation, right up to interview. The Certificate in Global Workplace Practice had everything I was searching for—with the addition of actual work experience.

“Getting employment can be very difficult for students with no industrial and local experience. The CGWP helps in gaining valuable industrial experience in the market leading businesses and companies. This is extremely important experience which potential employers are looking for, which ultimately increases our employability in Australia.

“I came to UOW because of its excellence in education, diversity of courses, social life and multicultural environment. The excellent library, the social life, the chance to network with people from all over the world; all these things have given me memories to last a lifetime.”

GET YOUR JOBthe uoW careers service provides many resources for you to find opportunities and apply for vacancies.

International, national and local employers advertise employment opportunities including graduate recruitment programs with the uoW careers service. You can find out about these opportunties by:

Being on the uoW careers service Job �alert. You can register at www.uow.edu.au/careers/forms/jsdb-student.htmlchecking my job board at � www.uow.edu.au/careers/jobboard

the uoW careers service can also help you with preparing your job application with:

Workshops � Workshops cover many different topics, including writing resumes, preparing for interviews and assessment centres. Mock Interviews � Practice for an interview with a careers counsellor who can help you prepare for the real interview experience. Resume Reviews � resumes submitted for review are checked by a careers counsellor and feedback provided.


WORKING DURING YOUR STUDIESIt is possible for students to find part-time work in Wollongong. However, competition from other students and local residents is high, so you will need to do quite a lot of research and submit many applications to increase your chances of finding a job. Many students also find part-time jobs in sydney.

You will need to be careful to balance any part-time work with your commitments to university studies, as your first objective should be to complete your course successfully. getting the right balance between work and study requires skill in time management. this is especially true if you are living in Wollongong and travelling to sydney for part-time work. Full-time students at uoW typically need to devote at least 48 hours per week to their studies, including attending lectures, formal classes and in private study, although you may need to spend more time than this to achieve good results.

You should also be flexible in the types of jobs you are prepared to do, as it is less likely that you will be able to find work related to your area of study. typical part-time jobs taken by students are in the retail, services and hospitality sectors, for example in restaurants, shops and supermarkets, sales, call centres, deliveries etc. rates of pay vary: you can expect to earn approximately a$12 to a$20 per hour (before tax).

Your student visa allows you to work 20 hours per week during each session, and full-time during session breaks only.

UOW JOb bOardlocal employers advertise employment opportunities with the uoW careers service. You can find out about these opportunities by checking my job board at www.uow.edu.au/careers/jobboard

the uoW careers service can also help you with preparing your job application with mock interviews and resume reviews even for part time and casual employment. It is important to remember that australian employers may expect to see different things in your resume to what employers in your home country may expect to see.

neWspaper advertisementsMany employers in Wollongong advertise job vacancies in the classifieds section of the local Illawarra Mercury newspaper. sydney-based positions are usually advertised in the Sydney Morning Herald or Daily Telegraph. Most job advertisements are placed in the saturday edition of each newspaper.

LOCATIONthe city of Wollongong is located 80km south of sydney on the south coast of new south Wales. It is just one hour from sydney International airport and 90 minutes from central sydney by road or train.

Wollongong is the primary city of the Illawarra region—home to nearly 400,000 people—and is australia’s ninth largest city.

Wollongong is situated between the Illawarra escarpment and the Pacific ocean. to the north it is bordered by the royal national Park, and lake Illawarra to the south. For people looking for a relaxed but cosmopolitan lifestyle and atmosphere, Wollongong provides the perfect mix with several patrolled beaches and a busy and multicultural cBd.

NEVER A DULL MOMENTWollongong’s location, climate and lifestyle provide for many amazing recreational opportunities. Visitors to the region can spend their time fishing, sailing, scuba diving, swimming, mountain climbing, hang gliding, cycling, taking in the arts, shopping —and more! Whatever your interests, Wollongong has something to offer.

all year round there are productions in the performing arts centres around the region or you could visit the Wollongong city gallery, articles Fine art gallery, the Wollongong conservatorium of Music, Illawarra Performing arts centre or the Illawarra Museum.

the Illawarra region makes the most of outdoor living and dining on the coast, offering a wide choice of restaurants, bars and sidewalk cafés; the variety of cuisine reflects Wollongong’s diverse multicultural community. the city has a wide choice of nightlife, with many pubs, clubs and live music venues—including the WIn entertainment centre, a 6,000-seat auditorium that attracts some of the world’s biggest artists.

TOP FIVE THINGS TO DO IN WOLLONGONG1. experience the aUstralian envirOnmentWollongong is a great place to experience the unique australian natural environment. there are two wildlife parks near uoW—one 20 minutes north, another an hour south—where you can meet iconic australian animals up close such as koalas, kangaroos and dingos. also nearby is Minnamurra rainforest, a living remnant of the prehistoric rainforest that once covered much of the Illawarra region.

2. WOrld-famOUs templesWollongong has a rich multicultural heritage. People from all around the world practise their religions in and around Wollongong, and over the years two remarkable temples have been built in the area. the nan tien temple in the south of Wollongong is the largest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere, and it attracts several hundred thousand tourists from all over the world every year. In the nearby town of Helensburgh is home to the sri Venkateswara Hindu temple—again, the largest complex of its kind in the southern hemisphere.

3. OUtdOOr livingaustralia is famous for its beaches, with good reason, and the beaches on the south coast of new south Wales are some of the best in the country. the greater Wollongong area has 17 patrolled white sand beaches—and there are many more down the south coast. they offer excellent surfing, swimming, sightseeing, fishing and walking. Wollongong is also home to Mt Keira, a popular walk and lookout for both tourists and locals, with great views of the Illawarra.

4. take a fresh lOOkthe Illawarra is a great place to sightsee , from traditional options to something unique. You can take the breathtaking grand Pacific drive north out of the city, or a whale-watching cruise. You can take a hot air balloon ride from nearby campbelltown, or a vineyard tour in the farmlands south of the city. For something a little different, you could undertake a meditation retreat at the nan tien temple, a coastal cycle tour, or a trek through the expansive, untouched bushland of the royal and nattai national parks. or you can travel to robertson and climb the unique Illawarra Fly tree top walk —a 25-metre tall elevated boardwalk nestled in the canopy of the temperate southern Highlands rainforest, with superb views over the Illawarra region.

5. spOrtthere is a range of local sporting competitions, including netball, cricket, rugby league, rugby union, and aFl, available for membership. there are also three golf courses—one in Wollongong, and two more within a half-hour drive. the Illawarra is also a great location for skydiving, go-karting, hang-gliding, paintball and mountain biking if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous! the Illawarra is home to several national sporting teams including the st george-Illawarra dragons who have regular home games.

dOctOr Of philOsOphy (3 years)the doctor of Philosophy (Phd) involves in-depth research that makes an original contribution to the body of knowledge in a specific discipline. students are required to demonstrate their capability for independent research leading to the production of a written thesis of their research findings.

prOfessiOnal dOctOrates (3–4 years)these prepare professional leaders with research experience in their chosen area of study. students usually undertake a thesis and approved study that may include specified coursework and/or practical work and/or performance. there are a number of professional doctorates in the areas of Business administration, Public Health, education, Psychology and creative arts.

masters by research (1–1.5 years)the standard duration of the Masters by research is 1.5 years, comprising two-thirds research (48 credit points) and one-third coursework (24 credit points). advanced standing for some or all of the coursework component may be granted to those who have completed a substantial piece of written research, for example in a Bachelor (Honours) or Masters by coursework degree. If advanced standing is granted for the full coursework component, the duration of the Masters by research is one year. this is considered when assessing your application and you will be advised of any advanced standing and the duration of the course in your offer letter.

entry reqUirements fOr research degreesadmission to a research degree normally requires the completion of a recognised four-year Bachelor (Honours) degree awarded at class II, division 2 or higher in a discipline relevant to the intended area of research. completion of a Masters by coursework degree containing substantial research or research methodology may also be considered. some research courses have additional entry requirements. these are included in the Faculty course descriptions in this brochure. applicants to a Phd may in some cases be required to commence their enrolment in the relevant Masters by research course and then apply to transfer to the Phd if they achieve a suitable standard. all students must also meet the english language requirements shown on page 75.

coursework programs have all (or the majority) of their requirements met by the completion of face-to-face classroom subjects in a particular discipline or professional area. assessment may be based on a combination of written assignments, presentations, formal examinations, class participation or practical exercises. Individual courses may offer students the chance to include a research subject.

there are three main types of coursework degrees:

masters by cOUrseWOrk (1–2 years) normally for those who have a recognised Bachelor degree in the same discipline as the Masters degree, or in a related discipline. there are some Masters degrees which are open to students with a Bachelor degree in any major, for example the MBa, Master of commerce, Master of International Business, Master of Professional accounting and Master of computer studies.

gradUate diplOma (1 year) these courses are normally for students seeking to take a different educational direction from their Bachelor degree.

gradUate certificate (6 mOnths) designed as a pathway to further study for those without a Bachelor degree, but with other academic qualifications and relevant professional experience.

articUlatiOn completion of a graduate certificate or graduate diploma will normally lead to entry into a Masters degree, in some cases with advanced standing (credit transfer or exemptions). In the course descriptions section of this booklet, courses that articulate in some way are grouped together and details of progression to a higher course level are set out under the heading “articulation”.

entry reqUirements the details under “entry requirements” in the course details section show the minimum academic entry requirements for each course. note these are indicative only and do not guarantee a place in the course. these requirements may be amended at any time. all academic studies you have undertaken will be taken into account when considering your application.

all students must also meet the english language requirements shown on page 75.


glOssaryFollowing is an explanation of some important terms used in the entry requirements:

duration – where a minimum length is required for qualifications or work experience, this means the minimum duration on a full-time basis.

equivalent average mark – where shown, the percentage mark relates to the requirement from an australian degree. If not shown, the actual percentage mark will not usually be lower than 50%. While similar grading systems are used around the world, many countries have different systems to those used in australia (where the pass mark is commonly 50%). examples of different systems for which uoW sets an ‘equivalent’ mark include the following:

china: as the normal pass mark for a Bachelor degree in china is 60%, a Masters course requiring 60% from an australian degree will normally require 70% from a chinese degree.

india, nepal, bangladesh, pakistan, sri lanka: uoW takes into account both the ranking of the applicant’s university and the local marking system in setting an equivalent average mark. a degree awarded in at least second division is the minimum requirement for most degrees; however, the percentage requirement or division may be higher depending on the ranking of the university attended.

professional experience or work experience – employment in a position relevant either to your previous academic qualifications or to the course applied for. the experience should be at a senior level (for example as a manager or supervisor) or in a professional discipline with a considerable level of responsibility in employment (for example engineers, accountants, health professionals, marketing executives). this information should be provided in the employment details section of the application form and be supported with documentary evidence including a detailed curriculum vitae and letters from previous employers.

professional recognition – uoW courses are recognised internationally and in australia through accreditation by professional organisations, and some of these are included under the heading “professional

recognition” in the course listing. In addition to completing an approved program of subjects within an accredited course, additional criteria —completion of a period of professional experience, or independent assessment of previous qualifications or work experience, for example—may need to be fulfilled to meet the membership requirements for some organisations. It is your responsibility to check with the relevant accrediting authority for full details of their requirements.

recognised bachelor degree – the qualification must be assessed as equivalent to an australian Bachelor degree and from an institution recognised by uoW. these assessments may take into account recommendations from the department of education, science & training’s national office of overseas skills recognition (noosr), other international assessment authorities and the university’s own determinations.

relevant – used with reference to tertiary qualifications and work experience, “relevant” means in an area related to the specific course applied for.

tertiary qualifications – used to refer to academic qualifications completed after high school, at an institution recognised by uoW, other than Bachelor or Masters degrees.

cOUrse strUctUres coursework degrees at uoW are based on a credit point structure. Individual subjects are allocated a credit point value: the majority of subjects have a value of 6 or 8 credit points (cp) each. a typical structure for a one-year coursework degree is the completion of eight subjects worth 6cp each, totalling 48 credit points. as a guide, the workload to pass a 6cp subject is an average of twelve hours per week, including attending class and studying in your own time. details of the credit points required to complete each degree are shown next to the duration for each course. You should note the following when reading the course structure information:

not all elective subjects are available in �all years you should verify details of the latest �course structures and subjects within the relevant faculty via the online course Handbook at www.uow.edu.au/handbook/current/pg

individual subjects shown in the �course structures may have their own prerequisites which have to be satisfied before you can enrol in that subject. the actual prerequisite may be another subject in the course, meaning you have to take subjects in a particular sequence. Failure to meet a prerequisite may prevent completion of the course in the minimum duration stated in this brochure. Individual subject descriptions, including prerequisite information, can be found by clicking through from your course of interest on the above website.

tWO-year pOstgradUate stUdy OptiOnsIf you are looking for a two-year program of study, UOW has a large range of options for postgraduate coursework study. The options available are:

a Double Masters degree—available in �the Faculty of Commercean Articulation program of two Masters �degrees—the most common form of articulation is from a specialist Masters course into the MbAa two-year Masters degree �

Postgraduate study in Arts will equip you with the capacity for rigorous and disciplined analysis and you will have highly developed skills in critical inquiry, creative reflection and openness to cultural difference and diversity. you will better adapt to rapidly changing environments in the national and international arena, adopting new skills and knowledge throughout your career. Our graduates work as policy analysts, researchers in Foreign Affairs and Trade, advisers to politicians, research historians with large companies; and in the welfare sector, journalism, international aid, publishing, the diplomatic corps, heritage consultancy, legal services, environmental projects, strategic planning, community development, arts administration and academia.

mary rOse alimmaster Of fOrensic accOUntingI am currently employed with the Anti-Money laundering Council Secretariat, the Financial Intelligence Unit of the republic of the Philippines. As an Accounting Specialist, my current role involves the evaluation, analysis and preparation of investigative reports on suspicious transactions related to an unlawful activity or money laundering offence. I also assist foreign states in their own anti-money laundering operations.

Aside from the competent teaching core, UOW offers more than just an environment conducive to learning but also a place to enhance your knowledge with comprehensive programs that develop the skills necessary to achieve even better, greater results. The Forensic Accounting program not only developed my investigative knowledge and capabilities, but also gave me new insights into the attitudes, methods and uncertainties of real world forensic accounting. It taught me it is not always what you know that matters but more importantly how you use this knowledge to your advantage and thus, achieve better results.

I graduated my Master of Forensic Accounting with Distinction. yet the sense of fulfilment is more than just the academic awards—it is in being able to combat the consequences of criminal activity and make a difference to lives of my fellow Filipinos.

actually, I came to uoW to study the Master of strategic Marketing because my cousin graduated from here and he recommended it. I was worried about struggling with my study, but after the first session I overcame any learning difficulties. the excellent library was especially good for helping me enhance my academic strategies and techniques.

also, it’s easy to adopt the local culture—because Wollongong is a small city, it’s not difficult to be involved socially. I believe that my study at uoW and what I have learned will positively affect my profession as marketer in the future.

JUlianna pietakU.s.a.master Of JOUrnalismI am currently employed as a Communications Coordinator at barry University, a Catholic university in Miami, Florida. I work primarily as an editor, and am also actively engaged in media relations and reporting.

I originally chose this program based on its small, personal size, as well as the hands-on nature of the program’s training. In a profession such as journalism, I felt that exercising everyday writing skills and developing a practised sense of news judgement were more important than learning pure theory.

In addition, my degree at UOW exposed me to a variety of media forms outside of traditional news and television writing. I have found that this range of skills (graphic design, blogging, video/documentary production) helped me market myself in my job search, and has also helped me in my current position.

Studying journalism in a foreign country gave me a fresh perspective, and now allows me to adapt easily to writing and cultural styles in varied business and geographic settings.

the postgraduate education programs offered by the Faculty of education reflect the high level of expertise and industry links the Faculty has been able to forge through its research. research programs are supervised by academics in touch with the latest global trends in education teaching and methodologies, while coursework degrees offer sound theoretical foundations and extensive practical skills that address the broader aspects of education and training, including strategic planning, management, administration and policy. the Faculty provides students with an orderly and coherent exposure to critical issues in contemporary educational theory and practice, as well as avenues for the professional development of teachers, educational administrators and policy makers.

the tesol program can open up a varied and exciting career path. there is regular demand in australia for qualified teachers to work on programs for international students and migrants. For those who are already practising esl/eFl teachers, a graduate qualification provides an opportunity to reflect on practice and to further investigate the relevant bodies of theory. teachers of other languages will find that the practice and theory that makes up the tesol programs will be fully applicable to other language learning contexts. For students without a formal background in education, the graduate diploma offers an alternative pathway to the Master of education.

Both the graduate certificate and graduate diploma offer the opportunity to undertake a practicum placement.

pOrntita prOmWinai thailanddOctOr Of edUcatiOnI’m doing doctor of education in the field of tesol (teaching english to speakers of other languages). In 1998, I decided to become an english teacher. I loved the job immediately, so two years after that I furthered my studies with a Masters degree in tesol from thammasat university in thailand.

Before coming to uoW, I had been teaching english for over eight years to various groups of students. I’m one of the 40 scholarship holders, from 50 participating countries around the Pacific ocean, who received a 2007 endeavour Postgraduate award, funded by the australia government.

life in Wollongong is simple and relaxing. I have had no stress at all—even when I needed to study while being pregnant. With support and encouragement from teachers and friends, I successfully completed my one-year course just in time to give birth in october last year. now I expect two more years to complete my research project dealing with argumentative essays written by thai tertiary students.

liZandrO adrian dUrán lesmescOlOmbiamaster Of engineering practice (mechanical)I have always liked challenges, and I am always looking for more. After finishing my degree in Colombia, I decided to abandon the comfort of home and come to Australia to further my studies, improve my professional profile and my perception of the world.

Australia sounded right to me from the very beginning. I wanted to pursue a Masters degree and I chose Wollongong because of all the publicity I saw in newspapers and magazines in my country—without actually knowing the institution.

I’m glad I chose Wollongong. It was nothing like a big and crowded metropolis, but felt like a friendly town. The University is enormous, and had all the resources that a contemporary institution needs in order to give a good education. It even had access to counselling for international students! Without a doubt, it is a comprehensive University.

The subjects I took and the research I completed at UOW were quite compatible with what industry was looking for. So, after graduating and moving to Sydney, doors opened for me straight away. So far, I have traveled overseas and around Australia sponsored by my employers, met many interesting people, been involved in different technological fields and made the best of this journey. I even became an Australian citizen two years ago!

If you have the determination to succeed, then Australia will give you the chance. And universities like the one in Wollongong will take you by the hand during your entire journey—so no worries, mate!

ali almaJWalsaUdi arabiaphd in nUtritiOnali chose to do his Phd studies in australia particularly because of research into obesity in the country, especially at uoW—and the university’s Whole room calorimeter was a very attractive feature. He says he examined existing research before deciding to come, and decided that undertaking his thesis at uoW could help fill a knowledge gap in his home country.

“obesity is one of the major health problems in saudi arabia, and nutrition plays an important role in the management of obesity. therefore, I decided to do my Phd studies in this area. there are no obesity clinical Practice guidelines developed by health professionals in saudi arabia, so this project will be very helpful for dietitians who are managing and treating obesity.”

ali’s family has accompanied him to australia while he undertakes his studies.

“I think Wollongong is a safe and quiet place, which makes it suitable for married students. university professors understand and help married students to manage their research in addition to their responsibilities as parents.”

ariO gUnaWan indOnesia master Of infOrmatiOn technOlOgy management master Of infOrmatiOn and cOmmUnicatiOn technOlOgyCurrently I’m employed as an associate software engineer at Accenture ltd., where I work with one of the company’s largest clients, the Australian Taxation Office. Some interesting aspects of my work include combining my experience as a graduate of Computer Science by developing automation programs/applications with the business and management side in order to improve effectiveness and efficiency of operating procedures.

I really enjoyed the team work aspects of studying at UOW. As an international student, I feel teamwork is really important, and frankly it was really difficult for me to learn at first. I was struggling to work with people from different countries and cultures; but by learning to understand and manage them I learned more about corporate citizenship and how to solve problems and overcome my weaknesses.

My UOW degrees gave me a broad understanding about the importance of combining technical and soft skills. I understand how important soft skills are, and sometimes I think that failures result because of how we handle problems rather than what we know about the problems themselves.

I chose to study at the University of Wollongong because I saw a great combination of study with real-life/work applications. The study environment at UOW really supported me to learn and reach my goals. Wollongong is a nice place to live with good people and a great university—UOW was my first choice.

laiakini WaqanisaUfiJimaster Of envirOnmental scienceI work for natureFiji-MareqetiViti. I am currently working on the Fiji sago Palm Project, helping conserve the Fiji sago palm, an endangered species endemic to the Fiji islands. I have also worked for greenpeace australia Pacific as an ocean campaigner.

Many of my duties for the Fiji sago Palm Project relate to working with users of sago palm products to develop sustainable practices. one of the interesting aspects is working with communities, as it is a different type of challenge. not everything you learn at school can be applied here, and you need to have a good perception of the situation as well as having a sense of compassion for people.

I liked being involved in the extra-curricular activities after classes at uoW, since it gave a relaxed atmosphere to studies. uoW also provided professional training for enrolled students and included leadership training and opportunities to work with the Illawarra communities.

I liked the way lecturers taught their modules at uoW, and that the postgraduate programs incorporated a holistic learning experience and interactions with fellow students. one of my best memories as an undergraduate student was the chance to work with Honours and Phd students, since they really helped me improve my written and oral communication skills.

admissiOn, Offer and visa infOrmatiOn fOr articUlatiOn prOgramsentry requirements for the above degrees can be found in the relevant Faculty page as noted. students must also meet the MBa professional experience requirement: in the case of students entering the MBa via one of the above formal articulation programs, the requirement is at least one year full-time of relevant professional experience.

an offer of admission can be given to both courses (your first Masters and the MBa) upon application, allowing you to obtain a visa for the full two years of study.

alternatively, you can apply for admission to the first Masters, obtain your visa for one year, then apply for articulation to the MBa (and an extension of your visa by one year) after you have completed the first Masters.

offers and ecoes issued under a formal articulation package will include exemption from 4 subjects in the MBa. students may be eligible for exemption from a further 2 subjects (total 6 subjects). Please note that exemption from 6 subjects may not qualify as “2 years of full-time” study as defined by dIac for graduate skilled Migration.

mattheW kerrUsamaster Of bUsiness administratiOnI am currently the Director of Cross Country/Track & Field at boston College. The College is a Division I institution in the national Collegiate Athletic Association (nCAA) and Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Aside from coaching and travelling to meets year round, much of my time is spent recruiting athletes, fundraising, alumni relations and events, and mentoring athletes off the track.

I loved the campus and the city of Wollongong. The beauty of the campus and surrounding area made UOW an easy choice. I also enjoyed the size of campus, as well as the class sizes in the MbA program. There were enough students to create a challenging environment but not too many to get lost in the crowd.

UOW has a very recognisable name and is gaining a reputable image internationally. As more years pass, more of my colleagues recognise my UOW degree. UOW provides a unique learning environment close to a major metropolis (Sydney) and it also provides a great vantage point to study and view the major Asian economies that are changing how the world does business.


tUitiOn fees the following pages show the tuition fees per session for each course in australian dollars ($a). as uoW operates on two main sessions per year, the annual tuition fee is twice the sessional fee. the tuition fee does not include living or accommodation costs, or incidental fees such as textbooks.

tuition fees are paid one session at a time. Your letter of offer will state the tuition fee payable for the current offer and commencement date.

the tuition fee shown is calculated on the normal full-time load for each course.

If you undertake credit points in addition to the normal full-time load for the particular course, you will be required to pay extra fees for that session at the equivalent rate per extra credit point.

the university’s tuition Fee Policies, including cancellations and refunds, can be found at www.uow.edu.au/student/finances

Overseas stUdent health cOver (Oshc) It is a requirement of your student visa that you have student health cover for the duration of your study in australia.

the university is required to provide an osHc provider to you for the first 12 months of your study and uoW’s preferred provider is australian Health Management (aHM). However, you are free to choose from the other three providers of oHsc, i.e. Medibank Private, Worldcare assist or BuPa. If you want to stay with aHM after 12 months, you can renew quickly and easily by contacting the university directly. Full details of aHM can accessed at www.ahm.com.au

the osHc fee is for the first 12 months unless the duration of the course is less than this period. Please note that these fees are subject to change without notice.
