CAMPUS LIFE

Ami Jones / england

Ami Jones is studying law at the University of Exeter in the UK, and was drawn to Wollongong for the sunshine, the beach, and UOW Faculty of Law's outstanding reputation. “The subjects offered at UOW are so varied! They really give you a different perspective and encourage you to think about ideas that may have not necessarily been discussed at my home University. The experience of studying abroad is also something that future employers will be looking for.”

“The classes here are very much discussion based,” she says. “The learning environment is very friendly and you are encouraged to ask questions in class and converse with your peers. The sociable atmosphere also extends outside the classroom though. Everybody has the time to stop and chat and there is always someone to play sport with at lunchtime, eat with, or simply spend time with you lazing by the duck pond”.

“The biggest connections I have made here are with students from all around the world. I can now say that I have friends from Canada, the US, Norway, Sweden, and France. People from all over the world come to UOW for the same reasons. They are great people, you’ll meet them so easily, and you do really make connections for life.

In 60 years we grew from a small technical college serving local needs to an international research and teaching university, and we’re still growing. These days, we’re proud to say we’ve got a lot going on, but you won’t be a number and people will know your name. The size of our University makes UOW a truly student-centred campus: individual attention, available staff, dedicated research supervisors, a personal approach and two-way communication.

U n Ito W n

Wollongong is great because it is so close to Sydney, but still a university city full of young people.

Andrea tondelli / Italy

Andrea Tondelli—also known as ‘Tondo’—is an exchange student from the University of Bologna, Italy, who studies Engineering. He came to Australia after hearing stories of his brother’s three-month adventure here in 2009. “Now it is him who is jealous of my stories,” Tondo laughs.

“The Wollongong lifestyle is amazing," he says. “It is so laidback and friendly and life revolves around the beach and nature. Since being here I have started learning to surf and even how to kite surf! It is very hard, but a lot of fun.”

Tondo refers to both the Australian and international friends he has made at UOW residence Campus East as his extended family. “Everyone takes care of you, we do everything together, and I have met people who I know I will be friends with for the rest of my life.”

A typical day for Tondo includes a lecture or tutorial in the morning, lunch with friends at the UniBar and then a visit to the beach in the afternoon. “During the night my friends and I take turns in cooking each other traditional dishes from our respective countries, and then we go out to one of the many clubs in Wollongong.”

“Wollongong is great because it is so close to Sydney, but still a university city full of young people.”

Tondo has so far been able to travel to Tasmania, Perth, and Byron Bay. His favourite place however, has been Fraser Island in Queensland, where he drove a four-wheel drive over the deserted beaches, and learned how to Scuba Dive at the Great Barrier Reef.

Tondo describes his time at UOW as incredible. “This has been the best year of my life. I will remember it forever.”

Wollongong is Australia’s ninth largest city, and is large enough to offer all the convenience of a city, yet small enough to retain the friendly, relaxed atmosphere of a coastal community. The city’s size also makes it easy to get around. The UOW Campus is less than five kilometres from the city centre and beaches and is easily accessible by public transport, or a free shuttle bus around Wollongong.

UoW LIVIng


At UOW Living you will benefit from a multicultural environment of high academic achievement, involvement and personal development. You have the choice of catered, flexi-catered or self-catered styles, all in community-based environments.

Our residences are located conveniently. Some residences are walking distance from the main campus and others are only a short trip on the free shuttle bus.

Courtney Anderson, from UNC Wilmington, fell in love with Australia when she visited on a holiday.

“I couldn’t wait to come back and Wollongong was the perfect choice due to the proximity to Sydney and the great reputation of business and commerce at UOW”.

“I live at Marketview, which is amazing. It is directly next to Crown Street Mall that has everything you’ll ever need. It is three blocks away from the beach, and it is surrounded by restaurants and pubs, which constantly have special deals for students. There are also markets on Fridays which sell fresh produce from the local farmers, and a café on the premises which sells the best coffee.”

“I feel really safe in Wollongong. There is a huge police presence, and it is so easy to get around. The free shuttle bus stops just around the corner, and takes you just about anywhere you would need to go in Wollongong.”

“Each resident at Marketview has his or her own room and bathroom with a double bed, television, and air conditioning. There is a communal kitchen, so it is a lot of fun cooking with friends.”

“The community at Marketview is like a family, we do everything together. My best memories so far have come from the parties and activities we do here. I have been to so many of Australian friends’ houses, and met their families. It’s a great way to see Australia and learn about the culture. One of the funniest parts of the Australian culture is the accent and slang—it takes some getting used to!”

Courtney Anderson / USa

PLAnnIng yoUr ACADEMIC ProgrAMSelecting subjects and obtaining advice

Courses (called ‘subjects’ at UOW) can be chosen from the full range of degree programs offered by the University, and studies can be undertaken across disciplines. Subjects are taught as a mix of lectures, tutorials or seminars, laboratory work where appropriate, and individual study. As a Study Abroad/Exchange student you will be assessed in the same way as Australian students.

PLAnnIng A ProgrAM oF StUDyStudy Abroad/Exchange students enrol for one or two sessions as a non-award student.

You can choose to study three or four subjects per semester. The Study Abroad fee covers four subjects and there is no partial refund if you choose to study three subjects rather than four subjects in any one semester.

University sessions (semesters) commence in either Autumn or Spring (March or July) unless you are studying a postgraduate program at SBS Sydney. You will be required to submit a UOW Study Plan online following receipt of your offer letter. Once the study plan has been submitted your proposed subjects will be assessed based on your academic background prior to your arrival.

This will ensure that your enrolment at UOW is an approved program. While every effort is made to obtain approval of selected subjects, this is not guaranteed. Students should be flexible with subject selection, and come prepared with additional subjects they can study while at UOW. Academic advice on your program of study can be obtained from faculty staff during orientation week. We strongly advise that you bring an up-to-date copy of your transcript or academic records from your home university or college, as well as subject outlines, with subject descriptions. It is the responsibility of each applicant to ensure that the proposed program will earn the credits needed to satisfy the degree at their home university or college.

LISt oF SUbJECtSThe subject information in this book should be used as a guide only. For further information please go to www.uow.edu.au/handbook and select Subject Descriptions.

You need to choose between underdergraduate (100 – 400 level) and postgraduate (800 – 900 level) subjects. You can only select postgraduate subjects when you have already completed your bachelor degree.

IMPortAnt Check under Subject Availability when the subject is offered. Some subjects are only offered in Autumn or in Spring semester.

Also check prerequisites. Where prerequisites are listed this means you are only permitted to enrol in the subject if you have already taken an equivalent subject at your home university.

ASSESSMEntThe assessment details for each subject are available under “Subject Information” in the online student calendar. Go to www.uow.edu.au/handbook and select Subject Descriptions. A comprehensive syllabus outlining assessment and other expectations is provided to students in the first lecture of each subject.

WorKLoADGenerally, Study Abroad students enrol in three or four subjects per session (two in summer session). To give yourself some flexibility with timetabling during enrolment, you should obtain approval in advance for five or six subjects per session. In determining your individual program, you should note that:

� subjects are offered on a credit point basis � normal full-time course load is 48 credit points over two

sessions, or 24 credit points for one session (in either Autumn or Spring session), or 12 credit points in summer session.

One credit point has an implied workload of two hours per week. Six credit points represents a minimum of 12 hours of work: this may be 3 hours of lectures, 4 hours of reading and 5 hours of personal study or essay writing. Many students will spend fewer than 15 hours a week in contact with lecturers or tutors but will be expected to prepare for these classes with reading and tutorial preparation. Australian students are required to be self-directed in their study and to submit a considerable amount of written work in assignments and seminar or tutorial papers

the grading System:

High Distinction (HD): 85–100% Distinction (D): 75–84% Credit (C): 65–74% Pass (P): 50–64% Pass Conceded (PC): 45–49% Pass Restricted (PR): 45–49% Fail (F): 0–44%

The transfer of grades to your home university varies for each college or institution.

trAnSCrIPtSTranscripts of results for individual students are issued by the University at the end of each session, giving details of subjects taken and final grades and marks awarded. Official copies of the transcripts are sent to each student’s home institution/program provider for credit transfer.

SbS 2012 ProgrAM DELIVEryPrograms delivered at SBS iC and SBS Sydney are delivered on a trimester system. Trimesters begin January, May, and August. A limited selection of subjects is available during summer session (November – January). Students enrol in 3 – 4 subjects (18 – 24 credit points)per trimester.

Note Students should select only subjects with the prefix 'tbS' of 'SrmP' if they plan to study at SbS. Students may not select subjects at multiple campuses. Students must choose which UoW campus they wish to study at, and only select subjects from that campus.

This theme also includes subjects that address the social impact of communications technologies—the rise of mobile social networking, for example, or the way computers are changing both the way we work and learn, and how we experience community and intimacy.

All of these subjects are implicitly international in their outlook, but at the same time they offer a good introduction to the distinctively Australian experience of media culture. If you want to know more about the blend of imported and locally produced media consumed in Australia, or to find out about how Australian journalists, film producers, TV buyers, games designers, or advertising campaigns take advantage of this mix, subjects in this theme will help you find out.

Study abroad is an ideal way for students who are preparing for health-related careers to gain valuable international and cross-cultural perspectives on health policy and medical issues affecting today’s global society. UOW offers a range of subjects which will be of interest to students undertaking a pre-med program. Interested students should discuss their study options with their home advisors well in advance of their proposed studies, as working a study abroad experience into a pre-med/pre-health undergraduate program will require careful planning.

It is possible to undertake some introductory and upper-level courses from a number of faculties at UOW; however, the upper-level programs focussing on health-related studies are normally only open to students with the necessary prerequisites. Introductory courses in anatomy, biology, chemistry and physics are offered and there are also opportunities to study a variety of health-related social issues, such as bioethics, health needs of particular populations, the economics of health care, concepts and issues in healthcare computing.

Javier Alvarez / Spain

Javier is a postgraduate student from Universidad de León, Spain, studying Mining Engineering. He came to Australia for its reputation in mining, and to practise his English amongst native English speakers. “I actually had a connection with UOW before I came. I made friends with a UOW student who was on exchange at my home university. She told me about Wollongong and I decided I had to come and experience it for myself.”

Wollongong was nothing like he expected however. “I was expecting red earth and desert, like how Australia is shown in the films, but instead it is very lush and green. The campus is very quiet and modern, yet almost like a jungle!’

Study Abroad can be a defining moment in your time at university. You can broaden your horizons, learn more about the world, your degree and yourself.

broaden yoUr horIzonS


Javier has been exploring Wollongong and the Illawarra region. He has climbed to the top of Mount Keira which starts from the UOW campus, and walked to the nearby Nan Tein Temple, the largest Buddhist Temple in the Southern Hemisphere. He plans to take a Big Bus Tour, a sightseeing tour organised by UOW Student Life, to see highlights such as the Kiama Blowhole, the Australian Capital Territory, and dolphin watching in Jervis Bay.

He is also attending English conversation groups, where he has made friends with not only Australians, but people from all around the world.

The biggest difference Javier has noticed about the UOW teaching style is the way the University combines study with industry experience.

“Throughout your studies you come into contact with industry professionals who are specialists in their field, giving you the opportunity to network and learn from experts.”
