HOW TO COMPLETE YOUR STUDY PLAN

  1. Your study plan should include between 12 - 16 units, 72 – 96 points, depending on the number of approved conversion units you are required to take.
  2. Conversion, core and specialisation core units have been prepopulated on your Study Plan
  3. It is suggested that you take a maximum of three units in any term period and four across any semester, a maximum of eight units in one year (not all boxes will require completion in your study plan).
  4. Select the required number of option units and project units (if required for course by coursework and dissertation) from the list below and place only these units in a corresponding teaching period, indicated by a dashed-box overleaf

OPTIONS: i) by coursework only, take 4 units to the value of 4 points, of which 3 units must be at Level 5;
OR ii) by coursework and dissertation, take the 4 project units to the value of 24 points.
APHB5501 / Development Origins of Health and Disease / S1
APHB5503 / Neuroendocrinology / S1, S2
GENE5001 / Advanced Genomics Techniques / S2
PUBH4403 / Epidemiology I / S1
SCIE4481 / Good, Bogus and Corrupted Science / S2
SSEH5685 / Work Site Health Promotion / S2
SSEH5688 / Introduction to Work Health and Safety / S1
RESEARCH PROJECT: For students in course by coursework and dissertation only, take all units (4 units to the value of 24 points)
SCIE5511 / Science Research Project Part 1 / S1; S2
SCIE5512 / Science Research Project Part 2 / S1; S2
SCIE5513 / Science Research Project Part 3 / S1; S2
