teachers. They’re approachable and
have an open door policy. Your teachers
take the time to get to know you and
help you fulfill your potential.
Why choose FedUni?
Open Access Selection Model
Experience uni life
Discover your pathway to study
You’re more than just your ATAR. Open
Access provides more opportunities for
access to higher education. See page 15
for full details.
Our aim is to get you started on the right
foot. From day one, you’ll meet new
people and make lifelong friends. We’ll
introduce you to staff and other students
who will help provide opportunities for
you to make a smooth transition into
university life.
Pathways can help you transition through
your study life. Whether you have an
existing qualification that you want to
have considered for credit, or you are
looking for a pathway through an
alternative entry method, we have
options available to help you get there.
Get involved in a club, society or sports
team on campus, or participate in
recreational trips and activities
throughout the year.
We help you to succeed
Get job ready
Over 82% of our graduates are
employed in full-time work** and
another 14% of our graduates continue
into further full-time study^.
Ideal class sizes
Our class sizes are smaller than most
metropolitan institutions, which means
you receive one-to-one assistance
directly from your lecturer or tutor.
All the support you need
At FedUni we understand that starting
your life as a university student is
exciting, but that it also involves change
with a challenge or two along the way.
To help you meet these challenges, and
to succeed, we have developed a range
of student-focused programs including
mentoring, group study sessions,
academic support, pathways programs
into uni, and support for students with
disabilities.
FedUni’s close links with major industry
partners plays an important role in the
design of our programs – providing you
with excellent employment prospects
upon graduation.
Programs are regularly reviewed to
ensure they have national and
international relevance, while our great
teaching facilities and equipment ensure
you are well prepared for industry and
research.

‘graduates in full-time employment’
of any Victorian based public university^.
On top of this our graduates have rated
us five stars for Teaching Quality –
Seven years in a row*.

An apprenticeship or
traineeship is a state training
contract between an employer
and an employee.
Want to get an apprenticeship or traineeship?
There are hundreds of apprenticeship and traineeship pathways in
most industries where apprentices and trainees learn valuable
industry skills and gain workplace experience for a particular
occupation or trade. The training can take place either in the
workplace, or at FedUni.
While you are an apprentice or trainee, you will experience a combination of training
methods to achieve your qualification as designed in your training plan.
Apprenticeships
Traineeships
•
An employer agrees to employ and
train you until all competencies are
achieved or for the term of the
apprenticeship contract, if required.
•
An employer agrees to employ you
for the term of the traineeship.
•
You agree to follow instruction and
attend structured training.
Apprenticeships usually take 3–4
years of full-time employment and
training.
•
You agree to follow instructions and
attend required off-the-job and/or
workplace-based training as outlined
in your training plan.
•
•
•
•
•
After the 3 month probationary period
has passed, training contracts
between the apprentice and the
employer are legally binding. Once
the probationary period of your
training agreement has passed, all
parties must agree in order for the
contract to be cancelled.
In the instance when the employer
has an apprentice and sells the
business, the apprentice’s training
contract is continued with the new
business owners.
•
If an employer sells the business, the
new owner is not obligated to keep
you as a trainee.
Mutual agreement is not required if
you or your employer wish to end the
traineeship contract.
Traineeships usually take 12–18
months of full-time employment and
training.
As an apprentice or trainee
you will:
•
earn a wage as you train and develop
your practical skills and knowledge
•
receive a nationally accredited
qualification
•
enjoy flexible training arrangements
•
receive workplace training and
support
•
benefit from the career opportunities
generated by your employer.
What do I need to do
next?
You must secure employment as an
apprentice or trainee before any trade
training can occur. You may also be
able to start a part-time apprenticeship/
traineeship while still at school. There
are a number of ways this can be
managed and may include working in
industry two days a week and going to
trade school three days a week.
How can I start an
apprenticeship or traineeship?
1. Think about what areas you would
like to work in (most careers now
have apprenticeships and
traineeships available).
2. Consider doing a preapprenticeship. See next page.
3. Update your resume.
4. Visit employers to drop off your
resume and impress them with your
enthusiasm. Speak to your local
Group Training organisations, visit
employment network providers, and
check out local papers and
employment websites.
5. Try volunteering your time and gain
experience in the industry of your
choice.
6. Be persistent!
Contact us to receive information about
training as an apprentice or trainee on
1800 333 864 or
[email protected]
7
Pre-Apprenticeships
A pre-apprenticeship program gives you skills, knowledge and a
pathway into an apprenticeship.
The aim of a pre-apprenticeship is to teach you about your chosen career and to
demonstrate to an employer that you have the skills and ability to succeed in an
apprenticeship. Most pre-apprenticeship programs run for 14 to 18 weeks.
During this time, you will study on-campus at FedUni. Some of the pre-apprenticeship
programs include a work placement component, where you will have on-the-job work
experience with local businesses.
What do pre-apprentices learn?
Pre-apprentices learn the hands-on skills which employers need. You will learn how to
use the tools for your trade as well as train on full-size, up-to-date equipment in true to
life situations. The work that you do during a pre-apprenticeship may give you credit
towards your apprenticeship studies.
Successful completion of a pre-apprenticeship can reduce the time it takes to complete
your apprenticeship by up to 6 months. Pre-apprentices also gain valuable assistance
with job searching skills, which will help you successfully find an apprenticeship when
you have finished your program.
How to apply
Most of the pre-apprenticeship programs have two intakes each year, usually in
February and July. In the lead up to the start of term, many of the programs will have an
information session or invite you to attend an interview. Applications can be made using
the application form for VET (TAFE) programs. If you need help applying, contact us on
1800 333 864 and we can provide you with information for the next intake. For more
information visit federation.edu.au/tafe

Three good reasons to
study at FedUni TAFE
Great teachers
Our teachers have worked in industry,
and understand what it takes to become
a successful trades person. They have
been apprentices, and know what it’s like
to be starting out in the industry.
Great facilities
State-of-the-art trade training facilities
include the Building and Construction
Training Centre, which houses all of the
construction trades, fully operating
commercial kitchens as well as the Rural
Sciences Skills Centre and the brand
new Manufacturing Engineering Skills
Centre.
Great industry contacts
As our teachers have trades experience
and because FedUni has a long history in
the trade training business, we have
close ties with local industries and
businesses. This results in a very high
placement rate of pre-apprentices into
apprenticeships with local companies.
Study modes to suit your lifestyle
Are you unable to study on
campus? At FedUni there are a
range of study options available.
Off-campus learning
Studying off-campus is the perfect
option if you need to balance your
studies with work, family or other
commitments. You will complete the
same program as students who attend
on campus but with the flexibility of
studying in a space and at a time to suit
your lifestyle.
Off-campus learning may include the
following study modes:
Online learning
Studying with FedUni online allows you
to complete exactly the same program
as an on-campus student, but with the
flexibility of studying anywhere you
choose, anywhere around the world –
whether that’s your home, local library
or from your small business.
For more information visit
federation.edu.au/online
Blended delivery
Blended delivery refers to online study
that is integrated with on-campus
study. Each week of your course may
include evening classes, weekend
classes, studying one day or night per
week, or similar arrangements.
Block mode
For higher education programs, block
mode refers to online study that is
partnered by blocks of on-campus
study. TAFE apprentices and trainees
may undertake block mode study on
campus for specified periods each
semester, and complete their training in
the workplace.
Distance learning
When you study via Distance Learning
through FedUni, we provide you with
the learning resources, including
workbooks and online reference
resources, required to successfully
complete your studies.
Partner providers
FedUni has collaborative relationships
with partner institutions to make it
easier for you to access our programs
at a location closer to you. When you
graduate you will receive a FedUni
qualification and have access to our
support services including careers and
employment and alumni opportunities.
External sites
A number of our traineeships and
pathway programs are available at
industry centres, community hubs and
schools. If we are delivering through an
external location, you will find the exact
location details on our website
Workplace delivery
Workplace delivery may refer to an
apprenticeship or traineeship which you
can do in conjunction with your
employer. It can also refer to some of
our short courses which may be offered
to groups in the workplace.
Apprentices and trainees may also
combine workplace study with on
campus study blocks. This may be
referred to as block mode study.

What type of
applicant are you?
Depending on your circumstances as an applicant, you will need to
look for particular information to help you make informed decisions
about your studies.
Once you know what kind of career path you want to achieve you can then investigate
the studies you will need to get you there. You can:
•
find out what kind of career opportunities are available, what type of study is
required, how long you will need to study, and which campuses offer what you want
to study
•
refer to this guide in conjunction with the current VTAC entry information, to confirm
you have the prerequisites and extra requirements needed for entry
•
see what additional support options are available at FedUni to help you transition
into university life. See page 16.
Are you currently at
secondary school?
Are you a non-year 12
applicant?
Year 11 or 12 students:
There are many applicants that fall into
this category:
Current VCE students must submit
applications through VTAC (or directly to
FedUni for TAFE programs that are not
listed in VTAC).
If you are unsure of the application
method for any program, please visit our
website, study.federation.edu.au or
call us on 1800 333 864.
Year 10 students:
When making your subject selections for
VCE, you can use this guide along with
the VICTER Guide published by VTAC.
By using the VICTER Guide you can
research what VCE subjects you will
need to select to be eligible to apply for
the course you want through VTAC at the
end of Year 12. If you need guidance on
what subjects you will need to choose,
ask your Careers Teacher or call us on
1800 333 864.

10 student should know’ at
•
mature age applicants
•
applicants who have previously
completed part of a tertiary
qualification
•
applicants who have not completed
VCE
Depending on which program you wish
to study, students who fall into this
category can apply via VTAC or directly
to FedUni.
If I am a mature age (non-year 12)
applicant, will you consider my VCE
results?
When considering your application we
take into account your life experience,
working and volunteer experience, and
the further study and training you may
have completed. If you have completed
no further study since VCE (or
equivalent), your VCE results are what will
be considered as the most recent in your
study history. VCE results are made
accessible to our admissions office
through VTAC, and can also be
accessed for direct applications.
If you are worried about your VCE results
not reflecting your full capability as a
student, don’t worry. We’ll also consider
your application based on your ability to
succeed in your studies. We can help
you assess whether you meet entry
prerequisites and can assist you to
bridge the gap if you need to brush up
on your study skills.

One of the biggest questions
you may be asking yourself
is how much your studies
will cost.
Let’s talk about money
Along with course and student services and amenities fees, you may also need to pay for textbooks, field
trips, equipment or uniforms. We’re here to help with financial advice and assistance, to make your study
experience as stress-free as possible.
VET (TAFE) fees
Payment options (CSP)
The best starting point for information about VET (TAFE) fees is online at
federation.edu.au/tafefees.
HECS-HELP is a government loan
scheme that assists eligible students to
defer payment of all or part of their
Student Contribution Amount. The loan is
then repaid through the tax system when
your income reaches the minimum
threshold for compulsory repayment
($54,126 in the 2015–16 income year).
You also have the option of making full or
partial payments before the census date
of each semester. Please note that the
10% HECS-HELP discount for upfront
payments of $500 or more will be
removed from 1 January 2017.
We strongly recommend all students who wish to study a VET (TAFE) program at FedUni
view this information as it includes important details about government-subsidised training
and requirements. Students may be eligible for Government-subsidised places if they
meet the eligibility criteria and provide the required evidence. Some programs will be subject
to material and excursion fees (this information is available from the program area).
If you are an eligible concession card holder, you may also benefit from a lower tuition fee
in select courses. Some courses are eligible for VET FEE-HELP, which is a Commonwealth
Government loan scheme for the vocational education and training sector that enables
eligible domestic students to defer all or part of their tuition fees. The loan is repaid via
the Australian taxation system once a certain income threshold is reached.
Higher education fees
All FedUni undergraduate (Bachelor) programs and some postgraduate level programs
offer Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP). This means that if you’re enrolled in an
eligible program as a domestic student the Australian Government makes a contribution
towards the cost of education and you only need to pay the Student Contribution
Amount (SCA).
Your annual SCA is based on the following ‘bands’ and varies depending on the
discipline of the subjects that you’re studying. You’ll be invoiced each semester and you
are only charged for the subjects you enrol in during that semester.
2016 Annual Student Contribution Amounts (SCA) per Equivalent Full-Time
Student Load (EFTSL)
The amounts listed below are based on a standard, full-time enrolment (120 credit
points per year) with all subjects in the same band.
Band 1 – $6,256
Behavioural Science, Clinical Psychology, Education, Foreign
Languages, Humanities, Nursing, Social Studies, Visual &
Performing Arts
Band 2 – $8,917
Agriculture, Allied Health, Built Environment, Computing, Engineering,
Mathematics, Other Health, Science, Statistics, Surveying
Band 3 – $10,440 Accounting, Administration, Commerce, Dentistry, Economics, Law,
Medicine, Veterinary Science

Australian citizens, permanent
humanitarian visa holders and New
Zealand citizen Special Category Visa
holders who meet ALL of the requisite
criteria are eligible for HECS-HELP. New
Zealand citizens who do not meet the
eligibility criteria and holders of
permanent resident visas (excluding
permanent humanitarian visa holders) are
not eligible for HECS-HELP and SCA full
upfront payment must be made by the
census date of each semester.
Further information about Student
Contribution Amounts and your eligibility
for HECS-HELP can be found at

Student financial
assistance
We offer financial assistance
options to eligible students.
This assistance is available for a
variety of purposes to assist
students to complete their
studies.
Postgraduate fees
Additional costs
Postgraduate tuition fees are programbased annual fees and will vary
according to the degree you’re studying
and your study load. The schedule of
higher education tuition fees for domestic
postgraduate students is available online.
Please visit federation.edu.au/fees to
find your program annual tuition fee.
You may have other costs on top of your
tuition fees, which can vary between
TAFE, undergraduate and postgraduate
programs. For example, TAFE programs
are likely to have more materials costs
because they tend to be more practical.
You should also consider other costs
such as textbooks.
FEE-HELP is a government loan scheme
that assists eligible domestic fee paying
students to defer payment of all or part of
their tuition fees. Repayment of the loan
occurs through the tax system once your
income exceeds the minimum threshold.
Lump sum payments can also be made
to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). If
you do not have access to FEE-HELP full
payment of tuition fees is due by the
semester census date.

Bursaries and Grants refer to

Further information about tuition fees and
your eligibility for FEE-HELP can be

Will I get a place?
This is a question that hangs over the head of nearly every university
applicant. At FedUni we provide as many options and support
services as possible to make your dream of tertiary study a reality.
Consideration on
equity grounds
Extra requirements
We place a high importance on providing
equal opportunities for all applicants. This
value is upheld by offering a range of
educational opportunities to students
from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Applications for study may need to be accompanied by further information, or have
additional steps to apply. These extra requirements can include an interview, audition,
literacy test or portfolio. If there are extra application requirements, you will find them in
the program listing or at federation.edu.au/extra-application-requirements
Police Check and Working With Children (WWCC) checks
Some industries require background checks before you can participate (i.e. childcare/
education) – therefore some programs require you to obtain a Working with Children
Check (WWCC) and/or Police Check prior to confirmation of enrolment (at your own
expense). For more information, visit justice.vic.gov.au/workingwithchildren or
police.vic.gov.au
International programs and non-resident students
If you are not currently an Australian citizen or a permanent resident of Australia or New
Zealand, please contact the International Student Programs Office on 1800 333 864 or
federation.edu.au/international
ATAR v Open Access selection
Open Access at FedUni is aimed at providing more opportunities
for students to study in higher education.
Entry into our range of Open Access* programs is based on applicants meeting
prerequisite study scores rather than a minimum Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank
(ATAR). Although your ATAR is a consideration, the University’s Open Access selection
model places more emphasis on your potential to succeed at university study, and
on your achievement of the specific entry requirements for your chosen degree.
For current Year 12 students this means that, provided you have met the
prerequisites of your chosen program of study, your achieved ATAR is not a factor in
our decision to offer a place; therefore, your study scores will indicate your eligibility
for a place when you receive your school results in December.
Open Access eligibility is assessed within your VTAC or direct application – no
separate application is required.
Some programs also require applicants to complete extra requirements which are
tailored to ensure that we consider the information that is most relevant to your
success. Depending on your program of choice, these requirements may include
interviews, performance auditions, assessment of folios and supplementary forms.
VTAC applications
If you apply via VTAC and you wish to be
considered for entry based on special
circumstances (i.e. disability or financial
disadvantage) please refer to the Special
Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) information
at vtac.edu.au/applying/seas
Direct application
If you are required to apply directly to the
University and feel that your eligibility for
entry was lowered by circumstances
during your education (such as having a
disability, being from a non-English
speaking background, living in a rural or
isolated location, being affected by
financial hardship or having a major
setback during your studies) you can ask
for this to be taken into account when
your application is considered.
Please include an additional personal
statement to your application. For more
information contact 1800 333 864 or
[email protected]
Deferring
(putting your studies on hold)
In most instances you can defer your
offer in an undergraduate program for up
to one year. This is a great option if
you’re considering a gap year or need
time away from study for another reason.
Deferment is not granted automatically,
and can be requested online as part of
the offer process. In some instances
deferral is not possible due to an audition
component of selection.
If you have questions about deferring
your program, please contact us on
1800 333 864 or email
[email protected]
It is advised that you check each program’s requirements to ensure you are eligible
for entry. Please refer to: vtac.edu.au

Key career opportunities
Scott Lowater
Bachelor of
Business
I commenced study at TAFE after a gap
year following school, and completed a
Certificate III followed by an Advanced
Diploma of Accounting. I then
commenced studies in the Bachelor of
Business majoring in accounting at the
Gippsland Campus.
The credit from the previous program
allowed me to complete my degree in
two years. The program was diverse
and I acquired knowledge in accounting
and other areas including foreign
trading and advanced topics in finance.
I enrolled in the Industry Placement
Program (IPP), where the final year
included paid work experience in an
area relevant to the degree. Prior to
completion of the degree, my IPP host
organisation Patison Partners in
Warragul offered me my current
position. The job is rewarding. I can use
my knowledge to help the community
prosper. The reason I chose to be an
accountant was to help local
businesses be the best they can be.

Stephanie Burzacott
Bryce Magnuson
Bachelor of Management
(Human Resources)
Bachelor of Business (Honours)
I completed my course in 2015 after
previously completing a Bachelor of
Arts. My industry placement at
Centacare enhanced my study/skill
base as it gave me a more practical
view on how Human Resource
Management processes can be
applied in a real work place setting. It
was invaluable to me and gave me
the opportunity to gain experience to
put on my resume which resulted in
my current job as a Human Resource
Consultant. It means you stand out
from the crowd and have the real
world experience that most
employers are after in a graduate.
Federation Business School is very
supportive and helps students create
their future careers by giving them
the confidence throughout their
studies. When I have needed support
from my program co-ordinator and
lectures they have always been there
to assist in any possible way.
During my final year of the Bachelor
of Business I dedicated time to
weighing up post-university options. I
considered the ‘big picture’ in life and
realised I wanted to continue
studying, not just to further my
education but to focus on something
I was really interested in. This led me
to enrol in an honours degree, which
would allow me to pursue my interest
in marketing while focusing on a
topic I was passionate about.
Applicants with either
undergraduate or
postgraduate qualifications in
business or management or
commerce can apply for up
to four credits into the
Graduate Certificate,
Graduate Diploma or Master
of Business Administration,
thus shortening the duration
of the selected program.
Similarly, applicants without
academic qualifications can
also apply for cognate
recognition based on
documented evidence of
substantive work and
managerial experience
I enjoyed the experience and gained
a great deal from it. Along with a
huge sense of achievement, my
honours studies provided personal
development and academic growth.
It also improved my problem solving
skills and gave me valuable insight in
an important area of study.
Through my honours program I’ve
pursued my interest in marketing and
consumer behaviour in the area of
sustainable clothing production.

Bachelor of Education
I have a passion for education and I
love kids. When I spoke with my
careers advisors, they said FedUni
offered a course which suited my
needs. The highlights of starting at
FedUni has been making new friends

also thoroughly enjoyed my placement
experience at a local primary school.
As the campus is within close
proximity to my house, it's so
convenient and makes it easier to
balance work and going to university.
If you’re considering coming to uni,
gather as much information as you
can from existing students, your
teachers or past students, and attend
Open Days or events.
Our reputation for training teachers is reflected through our graduates, who go on to become
confident, passionate and dedicated teachers, committed to supporting future generations.

Innovation is central to the way

Completion Year
— 2014
I have always wanted to make a career
in the beauty field, but had no idea of
where I wanted to study. After several
Open Days and countless campus
tours I arrived at FedUni TAFE and I
knew that this was the place for me.
I’ve decided that if you love doing
something don’t hold back. I
remember my grandmother saying that
it is not worth living a life of ‘what ifs’.
Life is about testing your limits.
One of the most outstanding things
about this program is the quality of the
teachers. They have all worked
successfully in the industry. The
experience and information which I
gained from them will stay with me for
life. They are so approachable and
committed and always available for
one-on-one support.
The course work was presented in a
way which made it easy to grasp and
we were given the hands on learning
opportunities that have created the
skills necessary to build a career.
A career in the hair and beauty industry is almost limitless.
Your creativity and eye for fashion can lead you to a career in a high-end fashion salon,
working in the theatre, entertainment and film industry, working on cruise ships or in
specialist roles assisting people with a disability or illness to enhance their self image.

My advice? Strive for a career that you
will be happy to be in for the rest of

I had known I wanted to be a PE teacher
for several years before I finished school.
There was little doubt I would end up at
FedUni due to its highly-regarded
Physical Education degree. After visiting
the campus, it quickly became apparent
that it was a caring and welcoming place.
I enjoyed the range of courses offered –
many of which had a practical hands-on
Catherine MacLean
approach. The emphasis on formal
Graduate: Physical Education
school placements (I was able to
complete one in Singapore) allowed me
to develop my interpersonal and speaking skills and therefore prepare me for
teaching full-time in my current position at Ballarat Clarendon College.
The smaller class sizes compared to some of the larger Victorian universities ensured
lecturers were easy to approach and contact. Outside the classroom, I benefited
from numerous opportunities to develop my leadership skills as I was a Residential
Advisor, First Year Mentor and Media Liaison Officer. University games and leadership
conferences were just some of the fabulous experiences offered to me during my
time at FedUni which I would strongly encourage others to take advantage of.

Mitchell
Mooney
Graduate:
Exercise and
Sport Science
After originally getting a second round
offer into Human Movement at FedUni,
I ended up spending seven years at the
Mt Helen Campus (Ballarat) completing
a PhD in Sport Science. It wasn't until I
was well into my first year that I realised
that quite a number of graduates from
FedUni had gone on to make quite
significant contributions to the field of
Sport Science in both a practical and
academic sense.
There is a certain bond all FedUni
graduates have in the sport field. When
you meet someone else who also
studied there, inevitably a discussion
about the early morning swimming
classes, lake runs and social functions
occurs. Studying at a relatively small
university meant that I could develop
quite good relationships with lecturers
and in-turn be afforded industry based
opportunities in a range of
environments. It was these interactions
with the academic staff in conjunction
with simultaneous industry based
experiences that enabled my curiosity
for sporting performance to grow.
My job now as a Senior Performance
Analyst at the Australian Institute of
Sport has enabled me to work with and
learn from some of the best sport
scientists, coaches, athletes and teams
in the world.

Nikita Hall
Bachelor of Nursing
Studying at Federation University has
been the best decision I have made. I
am currently studying Nursing, and I
absolutely love it. I have learnt so
many valuable new skills, whilst
learning with so many like-minded
people.
I was surprised and really pleased to
find the transition from Year 12 to
university so easy. There is so much
support within the university from
student services and academic staff
to ensure you achieve your best.
The best thing about studying at
Federation University is staying so
close to home, and being able to
utilise my skills within my community.
In my career I would love to pursue
oncology nursing, and with this
degree I am one step closer to
achieving my dream.

Bachelor of
Psychological
Science
(Honours)
When I finished year 12, I still wasn't
entirely sure what I wanted to do with
my life, I just knew I loved psychology,
and was very interested in going to
university.
FedUni looked like a good choice for
me, because I loved the beautiful
regional location. I also found that the
lecturers here really take the time to get
to know you on a more personal level,
and always find time to give you the
help that you need.
Are you looking for a career that contributes to improving people’s health and wellbeing? With the opportunity to add knowledge from various other discipline areas

Studying a Bachelor of Psychological
Science at FedUni has been so
interesting, enjoyable and engaging. I
have really had the best time of my life,
and made many lifelong friends. From
the beginning of my course I was made
aware of what pathways I would need
to take to become a psychologist, and
what I would need to do to in my
bachelor degree to achieve this.
I am now very well prepared for the
fourth year (honours) which I am
currently completing, and I hope to
continue to study at Federation
University until I have completed my
training as a Psychologist.

Harrison Fletcher
Bachelor of Science
I focused my degree on ecology and
environmental management. One of
the highlights of my studies is being
part of the Industry Placement
Program (IPP), which has allowed me
to develop workplace skills. During
my placement with the Department of
Environment, Land, Water and
Planning (DELWP), I have assisted
with the management of the
Raymond Island koala population, the
analysis of Australian fur seal pup
numbers on Phillip Island, monitored
brush-tailed rock wallabies and
worked within grey headed flying fox
colonies.
Assisting members of the community
in managing wildlife such as wombats
and possums on their properties was
also part of my work. The interaction
with the environment, as well as the
local community has been very
rewarding.

Bachelor of Biomedical Science
At the end of year 12 my score did not
allow me to study medicine. However, I
have found I will be able to pursue my
dreams though this amazing program.
This degree is fantastic for anyone with
an interest in science, the human body
and the mystery of disease and
treatment. Research projects in third
year allow us to think like scientists and
begin contributing to the scientific
community. I’m now studying honours
and feel prepared for the future. I urge
anyone with an interest to give biomedical science a go and see where it
leads, as the opportunities are endless.
