Proposed 29/05/2020


Overview


The background to this proposal is as follows:

1. This degree addresses the loss of a coherent learning pathway for students undertaking majors in Architecture andLandscape Architecture following the decision to rescind the Bachelor of Design in 2015.

2. There has been an ongoing misalignment of the learning outcomes and industry expectations of the majors inArchitecture and Landscape Architecture with those of the broader Bachelor of Arts.

3. The need to withdraw the undergraduate components of the Geography/Human Geography and Planning programs fromPlanning Institute of Australia accreditation due to the inability to address key learning outcomes under the generic degreestructure.

4. The need for clearer pathways to professional accredited degrees, notably the Master of Architecture, Master ofLandscape Architecture, the Master of Urban Design, the Master of Urban and Regional Planning and the Master ofEnvironmental Planning.

5. At present, the majors in Architecture and Landscape Architecture lack visibility within the profession and for potentialstudents. A similar situation exists for students interested in planning, who at present have a component of a major withinArts (Human Geography and Planning).

Educational Principle 1To develop disciplinary andinterdisciplinary knowledge and skillsthrough study and research-basedenquiry, at internationally recognisedlevels of excellence.- to think, reason and analyse logicallyand creatively - to question acceptedwisdom and be open to innovation- to acquire the skills needed to embracerapidly changing technologies

The suite of music units will expose students to the language and practical application of Music and/or CreativeMusic Technologies, incorporating techniques and technologies relevant to students' specialistions. Through amix of classwork, practical performance, and workshop demonstration activities, students will apply theirunderstanding of the rudiments of notated and sounded music to a specialisation within composition, and/ormusicology, and/or performance and/or electronic music and acoustics.

Educational Principle 2To further develop skills required tolearn, and to continue through life tolearn, from a variety of sources andexperiences.- to develop attitudes which valuelearning- to acquire skills in information literacy

Students will acquire the independent learning skills necessary to consolidate their knowledge and skills inMusic and apply to the development of a major project as part of the capstone units within their specialistion/s.They will critically apply information literacy skills to research, actively collaborate with peers, and create newworks (composition and/or research works and/or performances).

Educational Principle 3To develop personal, social, and ethicalawareness in an international context- to acquire cultural literacy- to respect Indigenous knowledge,values and culture- to develop ethical approaches andmature judgement in practical andacademic matters- to develop the capacity for effectivecitizenship, leadership and teamwork

Learning Music develops awareness and skills of a universal language applicable to and derivative frommultiple cultures and time periods. Students will engage in applying music literacy and historical context andstyle to various ensemble activities. Students' academic research will develop critical understanding ofelements relevant to their chosen specialisation within composition, and/or music technology, and/ormusicology, and/or performance, and oral presentations and class discussions will develop respect for other'sideas, and collaboration skills.

Educational Principle 4To communicate clearly, effectively andappropriately in a range of contexts- to develop spoken and written Englishcommunication skills at high levels- to acquire skills in critical literacy andinterpersonal communication

Students will demonstrate their communication and research skills by incorporating listening, analysis, readingand writing, history, creativity, performance (as communication), and critical literacy and interpersonalcommunication in both Music and English. These skills are embedded through classroom, out of classroomactivities, and other public activities.














A17



Immediate employment destinations may not be the primary consideration for many students, as they will wish pursuefurther study and development of their respective skills and specialisation. However, the study of music may directly lead toemployment with the broader music industry as performer, collaborator, creator, director, administrator, instrumentalteacher, etc. It is often also highly regarded within other fields requiring proven independent learning, independentproblem-solving, working within teams, and proven tenacity (e.g. positions within commerce, banking, journalism.)


The experience of graduates internationally, from previous graduates from UWA music majors, and feedback fromemployers (e.g. NAB actively sought Music and Mathematics graduates for their graduate program in the 2000s because ofthese graduates' abilities to problem-solve independently).

Educational Principle 1To develop disciplinary and interdisciplinaryknowledge and skills through study andresearch-based enquiry, at internationallyrecognised levels of excellence.- to think, reason and analyse logically andcreatively - to question accepted wisdom andbe open to innovation- to acquire the skills needed to embracerapidly changing technologies

1. The three introductory units lay the essential theoretical and intellectual foundation for subsequentstudy in each of the three disciplines within PPE group.2. The level 2 prerequisites are set in a manner that demonstrates how each discipline within the PPEgroup builds on the previous level of study. The end result is that the logic and analytical skills necessaryto question the accepted wisdom are developed.3. The level 3 prerequisites are set in a manner that demonstrates how each discipline within the PPEgroup builds on the previous level of study. But the level 3 units also broaden the scope for applying PPEdisciplines from core areas to sub-fields within the disciplines. INTG3001: Integrating Philosophy Politicsand Economic requires a level 2 base of all disciplines of the PPE disciplines so that a suitable synthesis ofthe three can be considered.

Educational Principle 2To further develop skills required to learn, andto continue through life to learn, from a varietyof sources and experiences.- to develop attitudes which value learning- to acquire skills in information literacy

1. Introductory level PPE provides a sound basis for life long learning in economic, political and socialmatters.2. Intermediate level PPE provides the analytical skills necessary for life long reflection and learning onmatters related to the economy, the polity, and society more generally.3. Advanced level PPE provides the analytical and synthesis skills that enable life long reflection andlearning on matters related to the economy, the polity and society to take place at an original and farreaching level. It inspires life long reading in social matters and provides a sound platform for retrainingor the acquisition of new skills.

Educational Principle 3To develop personal, social, and ethicalawareness in an international context- to acquire cultural literacy- to respect Indigenous knowledge, values andculture- to develop ethical approaches and maturejudgement in practical and academic matters- to develop the capacity for effectivecitizenship, leadership and teamwork

1. Introduces awareness of social, political, and economic systems and diversity within those systems.Provides the basis of analytical skills for thinking critically on such matters and reflecting on therelationship between values, culture, and society, especially in liberal democratic societies.2. Further develops understanding of cultural identity within social, political and economic systems.Develops a more critical understanding of social systems and the relationship between values, culture,and society.3. The core level 3 PPE units, Integrating PPE and Economic Policy, provide a basis for directing thinkingon economic, social, and political systems in a policy context, within which diversity and culture feature.The optional level PPE units address all these issues from a pluralistic perspective.


1. The necessity of increased effectiveness in spoken and written communication increases with thecomplexity of the conceptual framework and analysis. Clarity of communication and discussion is coveredfor introductory level economics in ECON1111 and philosophy in PHIL1002.2. Written communication and discussion suitable for discussing and exploring context specific issueshaving of intermediate levels of complexity are covered in ECON2233, POLS2211, PHIL2001 andPHIL2007.3. Communication and discussion suitable for exploring context specific issues with high levels ofcomplexity and considered with the aid of highly abstract concepts are covered in INTG3001 IntegratingPhilosophy Politics and Economic as well as in the level 3 PPE options.



This is an undergraduate program with target employment in the following areas:(i) public service (Treasuries, Department of Premier and Cabinet / Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, line agencies)(ii) politician's staff(iii) political / economic journalists(iv) academia (interdisciplinary research / teaching and policy)


The related skills and knowledge are specifically developed and embedded within the degree.

Graduates will have specialised knowledge of and the framework to assess the role that environment plays in affecting andmaintaining health in the population.

AQF outcomes:Skills

Graduates will learn how to:- describe and evaluate health and disease in population groups- assess the impact of environmental and occupational exposures on human health- outline the health impact from environmental disturbances both regionally and globally


Graduates will:- develop a comprehensive skill-set to tackle the complex public health challenges today and in the the future- learn to assess and communicate the environmental and occupational exposure impact on human health to a range ofaudiences across the private sector, government and the general public









B4




Students will learn the key foundational skills in describing and evaluating disease in human populations. Theframework for studying diseases in populations is established in online content and assessed problem solvingvia smaller group tutorials and discussion forums. Students are also provided with independent learningcontent to consolidate and extend public health knowledge and methodology.

Major concepts in public health are detailed in this course with a particular focus on the envrionment andhealth. The concepts are introduced and critiqued in online tutorials, discussion forums and assessed casestudies. Students' knowlegde of the environment and health is also developed with analysis and review ofrecent scientific literature.

Students are assessed on their calculation and interpretation of health and disease data and their descriptionof factors affecting the exposure/disease relationship.


Students will be given the opportunity to apply their skills in evaluating and describing health and disease to arange of different population groups with a focus on the environment and health. Students are also assessedon their application of these skills and frameworks to different cases. Pedagogical methods also include quizzesand exams to include calculation and interpretation of exposure/disease data and critical analysis of researchreported in the scientific literature.

One of the focal units in this Graduate Certificate is PUBH5783 - Health in an Era of Envrionmental Change,which teaches and applies skills of studying health to a changing environment including predicting andintervening in new environmental issues as they emerge within a regional and globalcontext.


Studying health and disease in different envrionments, cultures and groups is at the core of courses taught inthe School of Population and Global Health. Students will identify context-specific and culturally appropriateapproaches for public health research and interventions to prevent common diseases.

Within this course content examples, tutorial questions, case studies and discussion items of the included unitsare specifically sourced from a range of different cultural areas so that students can discuss the content andexamples from a range of angles. The local, national and global setting are particularly important in studyingthe environment and health and hence this is introduced and developed with the content and assessedexamples.


Students attainment of the key content and skills are assessed in a number of ways in this courses includingoral presentations in tutorials, written analysis and assignment. Group work tasks are also used to enhancepeer to peer learnign and develop team working skills. Students are asked to demonstrate written researchand analytical skills as well as oral presentation skill in relation to health and disease content cover in thecourse.

Students will learn the key foundational skills in describing and evaluating disease in human populations. Theframework for studying diseases in populations is established in online content and assessed problem solvingvia smaller group tutorials and discussion forums. Students are also provided with independent learningcontent to consolidate and extend public health knowledge and methodology.

Major concepts in public health are detailed in this course with a particular focus on infectious diseasesepidemiology. The concepts are introduced and critiqued in online tutorials, discussion forums and assessedcase studies.

Students are assessed on their calculation and interpretation of health and disease data and their descriptionof factors affecting the exposure/disease relationship.


Students will be given the opportunity to apply their skills in evaluating and describing communicable diseaseto a range of different population groups. Students are also assessed on their application of these skills andframeworks to different cases. Pedagogical methods also include quizzes and exams to include calculation andinterpretation of exposure/disease data and critical analysis of research reported in the scientific literature.

One of the focal units in this Graduate Certificate is PUBH5761 - Epidemiology and Control of CommunicableDiseases which aims to predict and intervene in new infectious diseases or pathways of transmission as theyemerge within a regional and global context.

Another key unit in this Graduate Certificate is PUBH5783 - Health in an Era of Envrionmental Change, whichfocusses on how the changing environment impacts on the emergence and distribution of disease risk, inparticular infectious disease risk. Environmental approaches to prevention and management are alsodiscussed.


Studying health and disease in different envrionments, cultures and groups is at the core of courses taught inthe School of Population and Global Health. Students will identify context-specific and culturally appropriateapproaches for public health research and interventions to prevent common diseases.

Within this course content examples, tutorial questions, case studies and discussion items of the included unitsare specifically sourced from a range of different cultural areas so that students can discuss the content andexamples from a range of angles. The local, national and global setting are particularly important in studyingthe communicable disease epidemiology and hence this is introduced and developed with the content andassessed examples.


Students attainment of the key content and skills are assessed in a number of ways in this courses includingparticipation in discussion forums, calculations and interpretation of these, written analysis and writtenassignments. Group work tasks are also used to enhance peer to peer learning and develop team workingskills. Students are asked to demonstrate written research and analytical skills as well as oral communicationsskill in relation to the communicable disease content in the course.
