CHOOSING WHICH UNIVERSITY TO ATTEND IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING BUT DIFFICULT DECISIONS THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL MAKE.
As President and Vice-Chancellor of UNSW I take great pride in our achievements, particularly our status as one of the top 100 universities in the world, and Australias premier university focused on science, technology, business and the professions. Every day walking through our modern and cosmopolitan campus, I am inspired to see staff and students from 120 different countries, coming together to pursue their academic passions and to tackle some of the worlds grand challenges through research on areas such as climate change, HIV, population ageing and developing innovative new technologies such as ultra-powerful quantum computers that will transform the way we work, and the ground breaking bionic eye which has the potential to give back to thousands the power of sight. I believe there has never been a more exciting time to study at UNSW. In the last 12 months alone we have opened a new global centre of excellence for Sustainable Energy Research and our College of Fine Arts has undergone a A$58 million dollar facelift, cementing its reputation as Australias leading school of art, design and digital media. We have expanded our on-campus accommodation, with the opening of state-of-the-art student apartments, the University Terraces and in 2014 we will also open new college accommodation. By choosing UNSW you will be joining the brightest and best students from our local area. Surveys show that they go on to succeed in their chosen careers consistently earning the highest graduate starting salaries. UNSW has also educated more industry CEOs than any other university in Australia. You will be joining a talented and highly driven student community. I wish you well with your journey ahead and hope to welcome you to UNSW in 2014.

UNSW was established in 1949 with a single-minded scientific focus. While our curriculum has broadened since, the desire to innovate, uncover new ways of doing things and generally improve the world we will live in still drives us today. In fact, in the Excellence in Research for Australia report, UNSW was ranked at, above, or well above world standard in all fields assessed. We conduct research across a wide range of areas, but we invest considerable resources in particular areas where we think we can make a difference. UNSW is an acknowledged world leader in photovoltaics, HIV/AIDS research and quantum computing. Some of our other research strengths include biomedical sciences, water, environment and sustainability, next generation materials and technologies, social policy, government and health policy, information and communications technology, robotics and devices, business, law and economics. We are also home to a number of national centres for research excellence and we are affiliated with many of Australias outstanding research institutes.

Career Opportunities The reproductive medicine postgraduate programs will enhance the career prospects of doctors and trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology who wish to specialise in reproductive medicine and surgery. Some will see this as part of the lead up to registration for CREI training, others will use it as part of a more general enhancement of their understanding of this area of practice. However, the opportunities presented by this program are far broader than this. Practitioners from other areas of medicine, which interdigitate with reproductive medicine for example trainee specialists in endocrinology, oncology and paediatrics find this program a useful agent to their general training. Colleagues from nursing and midwifery who have interests in this area also benefit from the courses studied and find that their career prospects are enhanced. Those who work in the field of natural medicine will also find this knowledge useful. There is an increasing desire for all branches of medical therapy to work together for the good of the patients, and the understanding of reproductive physiology and pathology. And an up-to-date appreciation of the various intervention that can be provided for patient with infertility and reproductive endocrine problem will be of benefit for those working alongside conventional medical practice. The UNSW postgraduate program is internationally recognised and the reproductive medicine degree will be useful throughout the world for those planning a career in this area. Professional Recognition The reproductive medicine postgraduate programs are not produced in collaboration with RANZCOG or RCOG. However the course content is recognised by both these bodies as being applicable to those wishing to register for CREI or some specialised training in reproductive medicine.

Reproductive Medicine
Contact Team Leader, Student Services and Program Development postgrad-OG@unsw.edu.au http://swch.med.unsw.edu.au Reproductive medicine sits at the interface between medicine and science. It is a young discipline, being born (literally) with the birth of Louise Brown in 1978. New approaches to the clinical management of infertility offer hope to many couples, with great satisfaction for clinicians involved in their care, and continuing rapid scientific advance reflecting into practice. However reproductive medicine is about more than infertility, with considerable strengths in gynaecological disorders including polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis and premature ovarian failure that affect millions of women. The field stretches from paediatric and adolescent disorders through menopause and beyond, and links to endocrinology, oncology, urology and surgery amongst other specialities. Reproductive medicine is an expanding field. It is at the forefront of emerging medico-scientific technology offering career opportunities to those with demonstrable skills and knowledge. Increasing numbers of medical practitioners are developing special interests in this area particularly GPs, family planning practitioners and specialist gynaecologists working in menopause and infertility. In addition, there are similar specialisations emerging in nursing and counselling, and amongst biological scientists. This program offers an entirely web-based alternative where practitioners are able to integrate their study program into their daily professional life.

Master of Environmental Management Program Code 8619 Commencement February and July Program Duration 1.5 years Estimated annual tuition fee $32,400 The Master of Environmental Management consists of a solid foundation of core and fundamental knowledge courses which provide a basis for critical appreciation of frameworks for environmental management and basic environmental literacy in key disciplinary areas. The latter is seen as a key attribute in the environmental management field which involves collaborative decision making by specialists from many disciplines. The program core courses provide an introduction to the inter- and transdisciplinary nature of environmental management. In addition to this, core courses also contain group work which provides an opportunity to engage with fellow students from a range of different disciplinary backgrounds and experience. Beyond the foundation of practically-oriented core courses, with the assistance of the Program Coordinator you may design a balanced program to suit your specific needs. This program may draw on courses from across the entire breadth of UNSWs expertise in this area, but within any constraints due to prerequisites. Program Structure The Master of Environmental Management has courses totalling 72 units of credit (UOC). This is made up of remaining units of credit (generally 30) to be taken as electives or a combination of electives and a project. The project (only available to students with a distinction level average) may be substituted for up to three electives (19 UOC). Core Courses (18 UOC) Frameworks for Environmental Management Tools for Environmental Management Addressing Environmental Issues Plus Fundamental Knowledge Courses You normally complete four fundamental knowledge courses selected on the basis of your disciplinary background and experience. Fundamental knowledge courses to be taken will be determined following discussion of academic qualifications and experience with the Program Coordinator. Where you can demonstrate sufficient disciplinary background or experience you may, with the permission of the Program Coordinator, take fewer than four fundamental knowledge courses with additional electives in their place. In exceptional cases, and with permission of the Program Coordinator, you may be permitted to take more than four fundamental knowledge courses if your program comprises a significant specialist theme in the electives taken and there is a demonstrated need in terms of basic disciplinary knowledge.

Canberra is Australias capital city and is located 270km south-west of Sydney. It has a temperate climate, is sited amidst bushland, and is only a two hours drive away from both beaches and mountains. UNSW Canberra is located a few kilometres from Canberras city centre and offers opportunities to international students for research and study.
STUDENT BODY
UNSW Canberra, established in 1986, is the Canberra campus of UNSW and is located at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA). UNSW Canberra has the best student-to-staff ratio in Australia with excellent facilities for cutting-edge research for a wide range of disciplines from business to humanities and social sciences, engineering and science. Many academic staff and postgraduate research students work closely with industry, government organisations, commerce and public research bodies in Australia and internationally which ensures our programs remain current and relevant. UNSW Canberra offers a supportive and stimulating environment for postgraduate research and particularly welcomes international students. The majority of over 350 postgraduate research students at PhD and Master level are civilian, and they constitute a culturally diverse group, with around 35 different countries of origin.
I pursued my PhD in aerospace engineering at UNSW Canberra because of the interesting projects offered, the affiliation with defence, the scholarship opportunities and renowned test facilities. My UNSW Canberra doctorate has better equipped me to advance my career in aerospace engineering research anywhere in the world.

MEET THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS Evidence of English language ability Evidence of prior education taught and assessed in English
If your first language is not English but you have completed at least one year of full-time academic study at an approved post-secondary/tertiary institution where English is the sole medium of instruction you may not be required to sit a language test. A statement or certificate from the registrar/principal of the institution confirming this must be provided. You must have been completed this study no more than two years prior to starting study at UNSW. Contact the UNSW Admissions Office to check whether your previous study can be recognised: admissions@unsw.edu.au
If your first language is not English, you must provide evidence that your English language ability meets the Universitys English language requirements policy. This means that you must submit results from an acceptable English language test that you have taken in the last two years prior to starting study at UNSW. English language requirements policy: www.unsw.edu.au/elp
If you meet the English language entry requirements for UNSW but need to gain confidence or shape your English skills for an academic environment you may want to take this intensive five-week course prior to starting your UNSW degree. It will also give you the chance to settle into Sydney, familiarise with the local accent and meet fellow students.

$550 $570 $625 $560 $755 $670 OTHER STUDY-RELATED COSTS Some programs and courses have costs, which are additional to the tuition fees, for expenses like laboratory kits, equipment and field trips. Textbooks are not considered compulsory, but we recommend budgeting around A$1000 per year for books. An estimate of your total costs (tuition and other study-related costs) will be shown on your Confirmation of Enrolment Form (CoE) that will be issued on acceptance of an offer of admission to UNSW. Living costs Obviously living costs vary depending on each students specific requirements, but we estimate a single international student will need around A$20,000 a year to cover living expenses. This doesnt include the costs of large non-essential items like electrical equipment or a car. In addition, you will need at least A$2,000 when you arrive in Sydney to cover initial expenses such as a rental bond payment (security deposit), electricity, gas and telephone connection fees and basic furniture and household items. All estimates are subject to inflation and currency fluctuations. The current inflation rate in Australia is approximately 2.5 to 3.5% per year. Overseas student health cover If you are in Australia on a student visa, then you will need to pay for health insurance in Australia through the Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) scheme and maintain insurance for the full duration of your visa. The only exception is for students from Belgium, Norway and Sweden who are covered by CSN or Kammarkollegiet. These students will, however, need to provide proof of official health insurance cover from their home government provider. There are five registered providers of OSHC: Medibank (UNSWs preferred health cover provider), BUPA Australia Health, Worldcare, nib OSHC and Australian Health Management. Medibank OSHC will pay benefits towards your medical and hospital treatment, medically necessary ambulance transport and most prescription medicines that you might receive while living in Australia. Just be aware that there may be some exclusions for pre-existing conditions and you may have to serve a waiting period to receive certain services. Also, as with any health insurance, certain services are not covered by Medibanks policies. These include optical, physiotherapy, dental and certain pharmaceuticals. If you want to be covered for these expenses, you will need to take out additional insurance. Financial aid programs www.international.unsw.ed.au/ study/financial We are authorised to help approved citizens of the United States and Canada extend their national student loans. If you are eligible for this support, the UNSW Financial Aid Office will be able to explain the application process to you. The Office may also be able to assist other UNSW students with their applications for education-related private loans.
BECAUSE EACH STUDENTS STUDY CHOICES ARE DIFFERENT, ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PROVIDE A DEFINITIVE COST OF STUDYING AT UNSW. BUT HERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CALCULATING YOUR EXPECTED FEES.
Fees are course-based: Fees for international students at UNSW are set according to the course (subject) and not the program. The fees reflect the relative cost of delivering the course. So, for example, an engineering course is likely to cost more than a law course. For that reason, your total tuition fees will vary depending on which courses you choose. Fees vary each year: It is also important to appreciate that fees for courses fluctuate from year to year. The tuition fees listed above are for students commencing studies in 2013. The fees listed for 2014 are indicative only; it is possible that these fees will change during the program. Actual fees for 2014 will be released next year and will be available at: https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/fees/TuitionFees.html Fees are charged based on the year of commencement: For example, if you start in Semester 2 (July) 2013, the fees for the first semester will be calculated at 2013 rates. You second semester, starting in 2014, will be calculated at 2014 rates. If you have an offer to study at UNSW but defer the start date into a new calendar year, your fees will be charged at the rate for the year you actually commence your studies. If you are required to complete a course again, you will be charged at the rate applicable to the year you re-take that course.
Estimating your tuition fees: While it isnt possible to give a fixed annual fee for each program, it is possible to provide an estimate. Estimates for each program are outlined in the Postgraduate Programs Summary Table, starting on page 18. You can also calculate your own expected fees by referring to the relevant table above. Coursework Program Fees: A coursework Masters program will require 48 units of credit (UOC) per year, a Graduate Diploma will require 36 or 48 UOC per year, while a Graduate Certificate requires 18 or 24 UOC per semester. Most courses (subjects) are 6 UOC. A typical postgraduate coursework program will include courses from within the faculty offering the degree. However, if you do choose courses from outside your faculty, they will be charged at the rate set by that faculty. As an example, the course Environmental Impact Assessment will be calculated using the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences rate. Research Program Fees: The tuition fees listed for research programs are for a standard full-time year of study, which is 48 UOC per year or 24 UOC per semester. Some research degrees combine coursework with research. In this case, your research tuition fee covers the cost of these courses and you are not required to pay an additional fee. Graduate diplomas by research are not classified as research degrees and fees are calculated using the value of individual courses undertaken.
