Networked Systems Major This major aims to develop graduates with sound skills in the discipline of networked computer systems. Recent advances in computer and telecommunications networked systems, particularly those based on TCP/ IP, have increased the importance of network technologies in the discipline of computer science. This major covers a wide range of topics including computer communication network concepts and protocols, multimedia systems, internet standards and technologies, network security, wireless and mobile computing, and distributed systems. The students are also introduced to some of the relevant current key research issues of the field.

Systems Programming Major This major aims to develop graduates with sound skills in the discipline of Co programming. The focus is on programming at the level of system calls to the underlying operating system and many of the units use the industry u

r standard language for systems programming, namely C/C++, as the s vehicle of instruction. There is a strong emphasis on the development e g of highly efficient and reliable code that can provide support services for higher level application oriented programs, as well as the development u of programs suitable for systems administration and management. ide Practical work utilises both Unix and Microsoft environments. This major is appropriate where a career in systems programming or systems administration is planned, or where the student wishes to develop Computer facilities advanced systems programming skills.

Campus locations: BA = Bankstown CA = Campbelltown HA = Hawkesbury PA = Parramatta PE = Penrith °The B Natural Science key program in Environment and Health is offered in distance mode only. ^ The B Nursing (Graduate Entry) 4643 requires completion of 170 credit points i.e. 1st year 100 credit points; 2nd year 70 credit points. The first year includes a prerequisite introductory unit which is worth 20 credit points (UWS units are usually 10 credit points) studied in the summer session. Therefore, annual fees are set out as follow: 1st year $26,000; 2nd year $18,200. Total estimate 2011: $44,200. Note: All students will need to successfully complete the prerequisite introductory unit called ‘Introduction to Nursing’ before being allowed to continue their study in the B Nursing (Graduate Entry). This unit has been organised to enable student feedback from week one (1). Students will be alerted in week three (3) of study if they are at risk of not passing the unit. If students do not pass the prerequisite introductory unit, they will automatically be made an offer into the standard three (3) year B Nursing program (code 4642) for the February 2011 intake. Alternatively, students may nominate another UWS course for which they would like to be assessed. A special orientation program for B Nursing (Graduate Entry) students is normally held prior to course commencement.

CRICOS provider code: 00917K September 2010 Chloe Appleton »» Graduate of University Foundation Studies, UWSCollege »» Currently studying a Bachelor of Social Science

In 2006, Chloe Appleton had a Bachelor of Social Science degree in her sights, but was disappointed when her high school academic results did not meet the entry requirements. As a result, Chloe opted for the Foundation Studies course at UWSCollege, providing a pathway straight into a degree at UWS upon successful completion of the course. Chloe is now enjoying her third year of a Bachelor of Social Science at UWS.

‘The whole experience was really good – it was very international, and I met so many different people. The staff taught me things which were valuable for uni, like how to write essays and reference properly,’ Chloe says.

‘The course gave me a taste of uni before I went straight into a degree. It taught me extra skills, and definitely prepared me for the workload. It was probably the best thing I have ever done.’
