Find your course MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY DEGREES

Part of what makes Macquarie future focused is that we allow you the freedom to explore your interests across a range of areas, rather than lock you in to a single, narrow field. We do this primarily by offering courses and degrees that are interdisciplinary. But we also give you the option to undertake a double degree in either a complementary, or completely different, area of study.

UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS Our undergraduate courses and degrees – both single and double – are structured in two ways. Some of our courses require that you follow a specific sequence of units that must be completed in order to graduate. Others allow you to choose from a wide range of majors, which represent a particular focus for your study. These majors are known as qualifying majors, as they meet all of the course’s requirements. We offer 98 majors that will broaden your studies and help you develop industry-specific skills.

POSTGRADUATE SPECIALISATIONS Some postgraduate courses offer a range of focus areas, which are known as specialisations.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING With our Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy, you could get credit for your previous study, reducing the duration of your course and helping you to achieve your career goals sooner. We will review your previous learning experiences – whether they are formal qualifications or other types of non-formal and informal learning.

Over the following pages, you will find a wide range of courses that will help you reach your career goals. For more information visit courses.mq.edu.au 24 INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GUIDE | 2018

ACCESS TO EXPERTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD Cyber security is always in the spotlight, whether it’s a story about data breaches or election hacking. Unfortunately, cybercrime isn’t just limited to these areas – cyber criminals pose a risk to everyone and every organisation. Governments and businesses, therefore, need qualified staff who have a broad range of skills and experience to tackle increasing levels of cybercrime.

This course – unique in New South Wales – brings together studies in risk, IT, finance, law, governance and policing, providing you with a multidisciplinary skill set that will enable you to lead more effective responses to security challenges. You’ll also benefit from our close collaboration with Optus and other major companies in the Optus Macquarie University Cyber Security Hub.

SPECIALISATIONS: Cyber Governance and Management, Cyber Security Analysis, Internetworking. WHAT YOU CAN STUDY: Business continuity planning, computer security, cyber crime, ethical and legal issues, forensic investigation techniques, global and national security strategy, IT project management, risk assessment and management, simulation activities.

ATAR The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is calculated by the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) and helps universities determine who receives a place in a course. Not to be confused with a mark, it is a score between 0 and 99.95 that ranks you against your peers.

COURSE A course, also called a degree, is the minimum sequence of required study which enables you to qualify for an award. Some courses, such as the Bachelor of Applied Finance, are made up of a specific sequence of units that must be completed in order to graduate. Other courses, such as the Bachelor of Science, allow you to choose from a wide range of majors.

CREDIT POINT One undergraduate unit of study at Macquarie is worth three credit points. A full-time undergraduate study load is four subjects or 12 credit points per session (eight subjects or 24 credit points per year), with an average three-year degree equivalent to 69 credit points (eg, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce) or 72 credit points (Bachelor of Media). One postgraduate unit of study is four credit points. A full-time study load is four subjects per session, with the average postgraduate degree equivalent to 64 credit points or two years of study.

CRICOS The Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) is an Australian government register that lists all Australian education providers offering courses to people studying in Australia on student visas and the courses offered.

DOUBLE DEGREE A double degree allows you to study across two complementary, or completely different, areas of study. Double degrees can be completed faster than two consecutive degrees.

GPA A grade point average (GPA) calculates the overall grade of a student based on units completed at Macquarie.

IELTS The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is an English language test. IELTS test scores are one form of evidence of English language proficiency accepted by Macquarie.

MAJOR AND SPECIALISATION Majors (undergraduate) and specialisations (postgraduate) are particular areas of study that you focus on within your course. For example, the Bachelor of Arts offers more than 50 majors and the Master of Commerce offers eight specialisations. Majors and specialisations are made up of structured sequences of units.

MINOR Minors are made up of fewer credit points than a major. They allow you to study two complementary, or different areas, that interest you.

PACE PACE (Professional and Community Engagement) units include internships, special projects and domestic or overseas travel experiences.

POSTGRADUATE A course of academic study higher than a bachelor degree.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL) Your prior learning – including formal, informal and non-formal – can be assessed for admission and credit towards your Macquarie University degree. Remember to ask for RPL when you apply.

SESSION A session is a period of study, just like a school term. Some universities call them semesters. At Macquarie, we have three sessions: Session 1 runs between February and June, and Session 2 runs between August and November. Session 3 is optional and intensive. It runs between December and February and can fast-track your course.

STUDENT VISA An authorisation permitting people to come to Australia for the primary purpose of studying, as defined by Migration Act 1958.

UNDERGRADUATE A course of academic study for a bachelor degree is regarded as an undergraduate course.

UNIT Units are also known as subjects. Most full-time students take four units – each worth a fixed number of credit points – per session. COMPLETE IF YOU MET US AT AN EVENT Event Name
