3 2 3 WELCOME TO THE SYDNEY SUMMER SCHOOL DECEMBER 2014 FEBRUARY 2015 WHAT ARE THE SUMMER AND WINTER SCHOOLS? The University of Sydney attracts the most promising students from the widest possible mix of cultures and backgrounds. Students travel from all over the world to take part in our intensive programs, held during the summer and winter breaks. This year we are offering more than 120 undergraduate and postgraduate subjects from nine faculties. We teach these subjects over three sessions at the Summer School from to February through online, face to face and offshore study. We also offer a shorter Winter School in July each year. Class sizes in the Summer and Winter Schools are generally much smaller than during semester because of the intensive nature of our programs. This means there are strict limits on places, so we advise you to apply early. Online applications for Summer School open on 1 October 2014, and for Winter School on 11 May If you are currently enrolled at an Australian or overseas tertiary institution, an international student on a visitor s visa, or a suitably qualified Australian resident, you are eligible to study with us. We invite you to apply online. This handbook contains information on how the Summer and Winter Schools operate, how to apply, descriptions of subjects, scholarships and prizes, and a guide to accommodation. Note that extra subjects may have been added after this handbook was printed.

Please note that successful completion of a Summer or Winter School subject is not an offer of admission to the University of Sydney.

4 4 WHO CAN ENROL? 5 All applicants need to meet any prerequisites for the subject(s) in which they wish to enrol. People who are eligible to enrol include: Current students students currently enrolled at an Australian or overseas tertiary institution international students who wish to come to Sydney just to study at Summer or Winter School note that these students need to travel on a visitor s visa (not a student visa). Other suitably qualified applicants Australian residents whose educational qualifications would gain them admission to the degree program with which their chosen subject is associated ( associated means it counts as one subject for that degree). Students completing the HSC in 2014 Students who are currently studying towards their HSC, who gain an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) that qualifies them for entrance to the degree program with which their chosen subject is associated. Please note that if you enrol for Summer School before receiving your ATAR and your score turns out to be too low for admission to your chosen subject, we will refund your tuition fee. Please notify us by HSC students may enrol for one subject only from those indicated as open to HSC graduates (see page 39). NOT-FOR- STUDY Members of the public and current students can also take interest-only subjects (known as audit subjects) that will not be assessed or credited towards a degree. In this situation: you do not undertake any summative assessments (such as assignments that count towards a result), although you may undertake some formative assessments (such as in-class quizzes) you may not credit the subject towards an award course at the University of Sydney (but you may apply for advanced standing in the form of credit points that will count towards the requirements for an award course). Subjects available as audit subjects will be charged at 75 percent of the normal tuition fee. These subjects are listed on page 38. Please note that students enrolling for credit will be given preference if places are limited. Please not that successful completion of a Summer or Winter School subject is not an offer of admission to the University of Sydney. The University also reserves the right to withdraw subjects before the start of the Summer or Winter programs. I arrived not knowing what to expect, since it was my first time living in another country. I fell in love with Australian culture and know I ll be back. I wouldn t trade my time at the University of Sydney for anything. It was a life changing experience. Sam Lewis Bachelor of Arts International student from the United States PREREQUISITES To take some subjects, you need to have completed prior study. If you do not satisfy these prerequisites and still wish to undertake the subject, you need to seek written permission from the relevant department. You can make this request online at the time of your application. Please note that approval to undertake a subject without the prerequisite does not guarantee you a place in that subject. ACADEMIC University of Sydney students If your Summer or Winter School subject is allowed in your current degree course and you have satisfied the prerequisites, it will appear on your student record and academic transcript. If you are not currently enrolled, or if your Summer School subject cannot be added to your current record because of course rules, you will be enrolled as a Summer School non award student. Non-award subjects will appear on your academic transcript. Postgraduate subjects may not be attributed to undergraduate degrees. Students from other institutions It is your responsibility to obtain written confirmation from your home institution to show that the Summer or Winter School subject you plan to take will be credited (and at what credit-point value) to your degree. We strongly recommend you obtain this confirmation before enrolling in the subject. It is also your responsibility to ensure that your enrolment is correct and your progress within your award course is in accordance with the requirements (our Senate Resolutions) for that award. While we make every effort to provide advice and information, the onus is always on you to meet your award course requirements. Students from other institutions who take a Summer or Winter School subject may apply to Student Records (Level 3, Jane Foss Russell Building) for a transcript after the results have been announced. Summer School is a great new experience for me as an international student. It provides many benefits. There is no better option to lift the heavy load and fast-track your course of study than doing Summer School. It offers the richness of interaction and learning between students and lecturers, which can be challenging during semester when classes are big. Summer School provided me with the opportunity to learn efficiently and effectively because you only focus on one unit of study, the experience is much more rewarding, both practically and academically.

6 STUDY LOAD AND ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS 9 I have commitments that make it difficult for me to coordinate units during the longer 13-week semesters, so I welcome the chance to teach Summer School. I enjoy the small class sizes and interacting with students when I can give them my undivided attention. We have a lot of fun discussing magazines and learning from each other. Students come to class with their own knowledge and expertise and I design engaging assessments such as contributing entries to Wikipedia and group work. I want my students to enjoy my unit and to feel like they are making a contribution to Australian magazine culture. Rebecca Johinke Coordinator, Magazines and Australian Print Culture Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The intensive mode in which we present Summer and Winter School subjects requires a substantial commitment of time and effort, both inside and outside the classroom. For this reason, you may only take two subjects in the Summer School and one in the Winter School. You need to attend at least 80 percent of all classroom hours. FACULTY RULES REGARDING ENROLMENT AND STUDY LOAD MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS If you can demonstrate high academic ability, you may be allowed to take more than two first-year mathematics subjects at the Summer School.

9 14 SUMMER AND WINTER CENSUS 15 SCHOOL SESSION AND GRADUATION Students who attend Summer School are motivated to give their best, knowing they will be encouraged and supported in all aspects of their learning experience. The small class size gives them ample opportunity to ask questions and guarantees strong individual attention.

Jacqueline Murguet Lecturer of Introductory Junior French 2 SUMMER SCHOOL Summer School will be taught in three sessions: Summer (Session 1) commencing Summer (Session 2) commencing 7 January 2015 Summer (Session 3) commencing 12 January 2015 Different subjects will be offered in each session.

I did Summer School because I had to catch up a failed unit and didn t want to overload in the semester. The lecturing style, modification of assessment to suit the needs of Summer School students and the genuine care from tutors not only changed my attitude towards a unit I had disliked previously, it also kindled my desire to improve and gain more knowledge in the area. My result a distinction reflects this. Bethany Kings Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The census date is when all administrative matters associated with your enrolment need to be finalised.

13 22 OUR STUDENTS 23 Taking the Summer School course enables me to provide background learning to my core units of study in the Business School and settle into university life with greater ease. In addition to gaining some valuable knowledge, I find myself getting more involved in the thinking process when I was under the guidance of the teacher. Summer School is a great way to make new friends. Jiaying Lin Bachelor of Commerce Winter School was terrific. The block format fitted in well with my other commitments, the intensive tutorials were challenging and allowed extensive interaction, and the lecturer was top notch. Chris Ashton Master of Arts I recommend Summer School to all students. I just wish I had enrolled earlier in my degree. It was easy to enrol and a great way to study. It has allowed me to reduce my workload in my final year at the University. I work full time and had no problems attending the classes and doing the work. Paul-Raymond James Faculty of Arts and Social Science Summer School provides the opportunity for me to finish my undergraduate program earlier. It is ideal for a mature-age student such as myself I get to concentrate on one subject for a targeted amount of time without other life distractions. The library resources are readily available and the teaching is of a high quality. Take up the opportunity if it suits your plans. Anastasia Sim Bachelor of Arts and Science Attending Summer School was a great end to 2013 and fantastic beginning to the new year. The intense nature of the course really helped me to stay on track. Summer School is for those students who are serious about fast-tracking their degree and taking advantage of smaller class sizes. I was fortunate to have a quality lecturer who was so learned in her field. All this made Summer School go even faster. It really gave my motivation a boost and raised my sense of achievement. Even better, summer had only just begun. Mark Smolonogov Master of Human Resource Management I never expected to enrol in Summer School but now it s likely I ll enrol again. The smaller lecture theatre and tutorial classes meant that everyone could get a lot of support. The tutors had more time to provide personalised help for each student and it was such a great environment to learn in. In regular lectures, we can spend too much time blindly copying notes. However, the Summer School lectures were clear, interactive and lively. Our lecturer emphasised the importance of listening instead of trying to copy everything down and struggling to understand the material. As a result, I thoroughly enjoyed my course and was very motivated to achieve my potential. Lauren Mak Bachelor of Science Winter School has been a lifesaver throughout my law degree. I have always needed to work part-time during semester to support my studies and living costs, which meant dropping my study load from four to three subjects. Winter School was a means of making up my dropped fourth subjects during the holidays. Now I m on track to graduate at the end of this year right on time. Kate Hewson Bachelor of Laws I chose to study during Winter and Summer Schools not only because I wanted to fast-track my degree but because it s enjoyable. It also suits my studying habits I learn more when I study intensively. Eunbee Lee Bachelor of Laws I completed the Summer School in Athens and found it to be one of the most enriching experiences of my life. The lecturers were passionate and inspiring. The small number of students greatly increased the positive experience as lecturers could give us one-on-one attention. It was definitely an experience of a lifetime. Emma Horn Bachelor of Arts (Media and Communications) The intensive classes suited me. I could not spend long periods in Sydney and Summer School enabled me to take classes I would not otherwise have been able to take. The short study periods were perfect for me. Being together for brief, intensive periods pays off in the contacts you make with classmates from varied backgrounds. It was an honour to participate in such classes.
