How to Use this Handbook
The Handbook of Undergraduate Studies contains the 2010 Macquarie University undergraduate teaching program and
will provide you with a guide and reference throughout your studies at Macquarie.
It is your responsibility to read the Handbook and to familiarise yourself with the requirements of your degree and
Macquarie’s formal administrative procedures.
This Handbook should be your first source of information if you have any queries concerning your course, enrolment
or studies. The Handbook is published each year as a paper copy and subsequently maintained as an up-to-date
online resource. While the information in this Handbook is correct at the time of printing, you should be aware that
the information in the online Handbook is updated as changes occur throughout the year, and that it supersedes the
information in the printed Handbook. You can find the online Handbook at www.handbook.mq.edu.au
This section and the glossary on page 15 contain information you will need to understand and interpret the Handbook
content. Close examination of these two sections will make using the Handbook straightforward.
Quick guide to planning your study
Most aspects of undergraduate courses at Macquarie are governed by the Undergraduate Rules, found on page 477 of
this Handbook. The University also has policies and procedures which direct the day-to-day implementation of these
rules. A brief summary of the areas covered by these policies can be found in the Student Information section of this
Handbook, or online at www.mq.edu.au/policy/.
In the Handbook the Schedule of Programs Currently Open for New Admissions, Schedule of Majors, Schedule of
Undergraduate Units and the Schedule of People and Planet Units contain all the components of your degree. Consult
these sections in order to plan and successfully complete your degree.

Step 1: Find your program
Schedule of Programs of Study Currently Open for New Admissions
This schedule lists all available programs as well as the general and specific minimum requirements which must be met
to be eligible to graduate.
The programs for Bachelor degrees are listed first, followed by programs for Certificates, Diplomas, Graduate
Certificates, Graduate Diplomas and then Honours degrees. Within each of these categories the programs are listed
alphabetically.
Often there is more than one combination of units (or study path) which will satisfy the requirements of the program.
Each program gives a sum of the minimum credit points needed to meet all requirements. Depending on the path your
studies take, you may need to complete more credit points/units to meet the requirements of your program.
The balance of credit points required is the difference between the total credit points required for the program and the
minimum credit points needed to meet the specific minimum requirements; it represents the extra room in your program
to meet general requirements or for electives.

How to Use this Handbook
The balance of credit points will vary depending on the path you take to meet the specific minimum requirements of
your program. In Bachelor degrees, you will need to use this balance to meet some of the general requirements—such
as People and Planet units—or you may also be able to use this balance for electives.
Be sure to re-check the general requirements for your program before deciding on your electives.
You should consult the requirements of your program every time you enrol, discontinue or withdraw from units of
study. It is important to track your progress against your program to make sure you satisfy all requirements.
Step 2: Check whether your program is structured on majors
If it is, check the Schedule of Majors before you go to step 3. If not, go directly to step 3.
Schedule of Majors
The Schedule of Majors lists all available majors, sorted alphabetically, and their requirements.
If your program requires that you complete a major, then check the Schedule of Majors—you must make sure that you
meet all the requirements for that major as listed in the Schedule of Majors.
Should you wish to complete an additional major, you will need to consult the Schedule of Majors to understand the
requirements of the second major, and how (and if) you can fit it in with the requirements of your program.
If your program does not require that you complete a major, then you cannot qualify for any major within the program—
you should consult the Schedule of Undergraduate Units in conjunction with your program of study.

Step 3: Check the details of each unit
Schedule of Undergraduate Units, Unit Descriptions and Schedule of People and Planet Units
Use these sections to check the details of each unit.
The Schedule of Undergraduate Units lists the availability of each unit, its prerequisites, corequisites and contact hours.
Units within the Schedule have been ordered alphabetically according to unit code.
Every unit on offer has been assigned a name and alpha numeric identification code. The code is three or four letters
to represent the subject area of the unit; followed by one digit to represent the level of the unit (1 = 100 level, 2 = 200
level, 3= 300 level, 4 = 400 level, 5= 500 level) and two further digits to distinguish the particular unit. A full list of the
identification codes can be found on page 11.
When choosing units, it is important to understand their availability so that you can plan ahead. The ‘When Offered’
column of the Schedule of Units will help you to plan your year of study.
Note: this section does not contain the timetable for scheduling of individual classes; that information is available
from the timetables page at www.timetables.mq.edu.au or your eStudent account.

On campus sessions
Some units require you to attend an on campus session; voluntary attendance is indicated by (V), field work by (F).
Please see the glossary for explanations of prerequisite, corequisite, NCCW and designation.
The Schedule of People and Planet Units lists all units which have been designated as either a People or Planet unit.
People units focus on the challenges of contemporary society and on what it means to be ethical, local and global
citizens. Planet units help students to understand the nature of science and the challenges and issues facing the planet,
with a particular focus on sustainability.
Consult the Schedule of People and Planet units in conjunction with your program and, if relevant, major. You need to
complete a People unit and a Planet unit to meet the requirements of your program. One of these units needs to be a
unit offered outside of your Department and the other outside of your Faculty. Your Department is either the department
responsible for your qualifying major or, in the case you do not have a qualifying major, the department responsible
for your degree.
The Unit Descriptions give a brief overview of the content of each unit as well as the academic member of staff who is
the contact for the unit. This section includes the staff contact, class contact hours and the department offering each unit.
Remember if you have read through this Handbook and are still unsure about your program of study—or simply want
to make sure that you have understood all of your options—then please seek academic advice.
