8 THE ACADEMIC YEAR The academic year is divided into two intakes: March (March-July) August (August-December) PROGRAMME STRUCTURE The Bachelor degrees at UOW are based on a credit point structure. One year of full-time study for most degrees requires the completion of 48 credit points; 24 credit points in each of the two semesters (equivalent to 8 subjects). Individual subjects are allocated a credit point value. Most subjects have a value of six or eight credit points each. A common full-time course structure is the completion of eight subjects per year worth six credit points each. In this course guide, we have listed the core subjects for the degree and, where available, major and elective subjects. You should note that not all elective subjects are necessarily offered every semester at INTI. Students are able to graduate with a single major or, in some instances, with a double major in their area of interest. Students also have the option of selecting a major and minor combination in some degrees. Individual subjects shown in the course structure may have their own prerequisites that must be satisfied before you can enrol for that subject. The actual prerequisite may be another subject in the course, which means that you have to take subjects in a particular sequence. Failure to meet a prerequisite or obtain a pass grade in a particular subject, may prevent a student from completing the course within the minimum duration stated in this brochure. Subject descriptions, including prerequisite information, can be obtained from the advisers, respective Deans, or by clicking your course of interest on the UOW coursefinder (coursefinder.uow.edu.au). All students intending to complete a double major or major-minor combination must consult with the relevant Dean prior to enrolment to confirm availability of subjects. ASSESSMENT Assessment is based on a combination of participation in class work, practical exercises, presentations, written assignments and examinations. The weighting given to each assessment method varies between subjects: this information is shown in the online subject descriptions and will be provided to you at the beginning of each subject you take. 8 UNDERGRADUATE COURSE GUIDE
