Experience. The Difference.



Anton Heintze UniSA Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical and Advanced Manufacturing) TAFE Advanced Diploma of Engineering (Mechanical) Anton Heintze always wanted to follow a career in mechanical engineering. He just wasn’t sure which study option to take. ‘When I finished secondary school, I couldn’t decide whether to go straight to uni or to do a trade apprentice,’ he says. ‘Even after starting my apprenticeship I was still unsure as to whether I had made the right decision.’ Anton chose to study an Advanced Diploma of Engineering (Mechanical) at TAFE followed by a Certificate III which he completed while working at Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO). Despite TAFE providing Anton with a strong understanding of the fundamental principles of engineering, he was keen to broaden his skill set and study at university. DSTO supported Anton’s desire to study and he was encouraged to study a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical and Advanced Manufacturing). ‘The engineering degree was a logical transition from the TAFE diploma and is also directly applicable to my current work role. Despite the uni course being typically tougher and more in depth than TAFE, I really enjoy the challenging aspects of the course and find that I have achieved high grades as a result of hard work. It’s extremely rewarding,’ he says. Anton was pleased with the credit he received for his TAFE studies and would recommend this pathway into university. ‘I would never discourage anybody from following this pathway. UniSA offered a great transition from the TAFE Diploma, particularly the credit recognition of prior studies. I was granted the first two years off my uni program. Plus, gaining experience at TAFE prior to going to uni was invaluable. I already had the knowledge to transform theoretical problems into real-life practical situations,’ he adds. ‘Turn the clock forward and now I am studying the degree I originally considered, plus I have a huge amount of TAFE, work experience and life skills behind me. I have absolutely no regrets about my career path or future aspirations.’

Welcome



UniSA is the largest provider of TAFE transfer options in the State, receiving two-thirds of the State’s commencing students who are admitted on the basis of their TAFE study. UniSA has worked with TAFE for over twenty years, establishing extensive transfer and pathway arrangements to enable TAFE students to pursue further tertiary study with us. Most of our programs are offered on a part-time basis and many of our courses are offered off-campus or online. Each of our campuses is equipped with the latest technology, with updated IT facilities and wireless networking available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. UniSA is continually strengthening our proven ability to provide teaching and learning experiences that develop graduates not only with the right skills, but the right attitude to apply their knowledge in the world, both ethically and professionally. Studying at UniSA also means you are tapping into a vast professional network through our links with business, government, community and the professions. Whether you’re studying to advance your career, or start a new one, the knowledge of our academics and the practical experience you can gain in our programs can make all the difference to the way you see your future. We look forward to you becoming a proud member of our university community.

Professor Peter Høj Vice Chancellor and President University of South Australia Almost 1800 TAFE SA graduates apply to continue their studies at universities in South Australia each year, and the majority of these students apply to attend the University of South Australia in disciplines as diverse as nursing, architecture, accounting and engineering. The high proportion of TAFE SA graduates choosing the University of South Australia is testament to how Pathways from TAFE SA to UniSA helps students understand the requirements and process of applying for credit for prior learning. This cooperative endeavour, between two of South Australia’s leading learning institutions, helps to build the State’s skill base and, at the individual level, students are able to boost their career opportunities. I wholeheartedly support Pathways from TAFE SA to UniSA and encourage TAFE SA graduates to explore opportunities to advance their skills with further studies.

Use TAFE to finish your degree faster Studying at TAFE is one of the easiest and most successful pathways towards a university degree. Even if you left school at year 10 level, your TAFE qualification may be all you need to gain entry to UniSA. All the programs listed in this publication, as well as many other UniSA undergraduate programs, have a TAFE sub-quota. This means that applications for entry into these programs are assessed only with other TAFE applicants, increasing your chances of gaining entry. UniSA has block credit transfer arrangements where maximum and minimum credit is awarded for completed TAFE study.

Experience UniSA

Starting university can be easier if you know what to expect. You may be wondering how lectures and tutorials work, about your study options, or what you’ll do when you have some time off from studying. University life is about both intellectual and personal development. It’s the combination of what you’ll learn throughout your studies, and who you’ll meet, that will create your UniSA experience.

Learning at UniSA

Your study options

Our programs consist of a number of courses taken over a number of academic years. Generally, your study schedule will be divided into contact hours (the time you spend in lectures, tutorials and practicals) and independent study hours (the time you devote to study, research, revision and assignments). Contact hours will vary, depending on the program you choose to study. Independent study hours will vary according to the individual but, as with other commitments, the more you put in, the more you’ll get back.

Depending on the program you choose, you may have options about where, when and how you’d prefer to study.

Some of the nuts-and-bolts terms you’ll come across at uni include: » Program: the award in which you are enrolled, eg Bachelor of Applied Finance; » Course: a component of study within a program, ie, a subject; » Unit: the ‘value’ of a course which measures the amount of work in that course. Full-time students normally undertake 36 units a year (commonly eight courses) to gain the 108 units needed to earn a three-year degree; » Discipline: a field of study or knowledge; » Division: UniSA is split into four academic Divisions – each offering a range of specialised programs and courses: - Business - Education, Arts and Social Sciences - Health Sciences - Information Technology, Engineering and the Environment.

» Full-time study requires the completion of 36 units per year, but your contact hours may vary depending on your program. If you are studying on campus you will attend lectures, tutorials or workshops and/or practical classes; » Part-time study allows you to study over a longer period of time. You’ll study less than 75 per cent of a normal full-time load and can undertake between one and three courses per study period. » Off-campus (external) study allows you to undertake all or some of your courses from home, using supplied print materials and online study resources. You may occasionally need to attend some on-campus classes or field placements.

UniSA online You can enroll online or take a virtual tour of any of our campuses. UniSA’s flexible online environment means you can log in from anywhere, 24/7. All the campuses are linked to a wireless network so you can study where and when you like. As a UniSA student you will have your own web page and email address. Lecturers often correspond through discussion groups linked to course homepages, you’ll submit assignments and discuss work with other students online.



Assessment and grading To pass a course you must satisfactorily complete the relevant assessment requirements. That assessment may include exams, written assignments, presentations, practical work and/or class participation. Depending on the courses you undertake, your assessment will be graded according to the University’s marking system. When you’ve satisfactorily met all program and UniSA requirements, you’ll be eligible to graduate. Qualifying for a degree from UniSA is a major achievement and you will be able to celebrate your success with family and friends at your graduation ceremony (usually held in April, August and December).

Classes Managing your academic timetable and attending classes will be a big factor in your success at uni. » The academic year for most programs begins late February or early March and ends in November. Exams are in June and November. » Lectures are usually held in a large lecture theatre with other students for an hour or two. They offer an opportunity to listen and take notes about the main concepts covered in your course. » Tutorials, or workshops, are run by tutors for smaller groups of students and are an interactive way to share thoughts, ask questions and generate discussion about course content. » Practicals may take place in a laboratory, on a computer or with other specialised equipment, depending on the course. They provide opportunities to develop practical skills and apply theories learned in lectures and tutorials.

The STEP (Student Experience) 2010 agenda UniSA is strengthening our proven ability to provide teaching and learning experiences that produce graduates with outstanding, profession-ready qualities. The STEP 2010 initiative further enhances our reputation as a leader in providing practice-based and workplace learning in our programs and also looks at innovative learning spaces that are more than the traditional lecture theatre. The ambitious agenda aims to ensure that, by 2010, approximately one-third of all learning experiences in all UniSA programs will be real-world experiences. This will be achieved by strengthening the use of practice-based learning, the teaching-research nexus and service learning in the community in our programs. This means that all UniSA students will experience real-world challenges in innovative and interactive learning spaces throughout their program of study.

Real-world experience UniSA is known for its links with industry and the professions. » Work placements offer students the chance to get into a real-world work situation where you can apply the knowledge and skills learned at uni to your future workplace; » Field trips are short excursions or longer trips – sometimes even overseas – where students gain practical insight into their field of study and learn a range of relevant skills; » Overseas student exchanges provide the chance to study at one of more than 90 accredited international universities. An international exchange will contribute to your personal and professional development and will be highly regarded by your future employers.

Tips for succeeding at uni The thought of tackling assignments and exams may seem a little daunting if you’re considering starting uni. You’ll also need to work out strategies for juggling your study, work and personal commitments. Here are a few tips that may help you to make the most of your studies: • Work out a realistic study plan to keep yourself aware of assignment deadlines and exam periods. Review this regularly and adjust it according to your progress • Set up a comfortable, quiet study space at home where you won’t be distracted by noise or other people • If you are employed, discuss your study plans with your employer to see if you can establish flexible working arrangements • Make time for catch-ups with friends and family for moral support and some time out from study • Establish support networks at uni – clarify queries with your tutors and lecturers and develop friendships with classmates who understand your study demands • Stay healthy – take time out to exercise, eat well and get plenty of sleep • Visit a Learning Connection office in person or at www.unisanet.unisa. edu.au/learningconnection for various resources including learning guides and online/on-campus workshops, advice about studying off-campus, and information about UniSA’s computing facilities • Talk to a UniSA librarian for detailed information on researching methods, borrowing policies and establishing a study pathway that will best suit you.

Maiko Hayashi UniSA Bachelor of International Business TAFE Diploma of International Business

After completing her TAFE diploma, Maiko transferred to UniSA and was given credit for the first year of the Bachelor of International Business. Now she is studying for an internationally recognised degree, Maiko is confident that her choice will be better for her when it comes to launching her career. Being an international student at both TAFE and UniSA has also given Maiko a range of experience that other students wouldn’t normally encounter. Not only has she experienced a new culture, coming to Australia from Japan, but she has also noticed the increased responsibility associated with university. “Uni is quite different from TAFE. You need to be disciplined enough to organise yourself and your time properly. You get used to doing things on your own. You need to prepare yourself before you start uni to take the initiative; university assigns many challenging tasks for students, some are difficult but can help to motivate you to study harder.” “My program offers quite a range of different subjects, so I have an opportunity to find empoyment in many areas.” “Many companies look for people who have higher academic qualifications and the skills and knowledge that come with university study. When I finish my degree I want to seek job opportunities where I can use my bilingual ability and apply my international business skills, preferably with a foreign affiliated company in Australia or overseas.”
