18FACULTY OF HUMAN SCIENCES PEOPLE AND PLANET UNITS

19FACULTY OF HUMAN SCIENCES PEOPLE AND PLANET UNITS People and Planet units enable students to: -understand the challenges and issues facing the world -develop the capacity to be engaged and ethical local and global citizens. People units are designed to give students an understanding of what it means to live in the social world, and to develop cultural or social literacy. Planet units enable students to develop scientific literacy and to understand what it means to live in the physical world. You are required to include one People unit and one Planet unit in your program of study For double degrees these units need to be completed in two different faculties. Select People and Planet units that are also KLA units; see the Student Guide

48FACULTY OF HUMAN SCIENCES PLANNING YOUR PROGRAM

49FACULTY OF HUMAN SCIENCES FULL TIME – PART TIME WORKLOAD Full-time student: - A student who is enrolled in units in an academic year which comprise at least 0.75 of an Equivalent Full-Time Study Load for the course for which they are admitted. - Typical full time study Load is 12 credit points per session therefore 0.75 is 18cp. Workload - 1 credit point = 3 hours work per week. A 3 credit point unit will therefore require a minimum study time commitment of 9 hours per week. - Note: Session 3 – is the same workload compressed into 5 weeks!

50FACULTY OF HUMAN SCIENCES BABED (PRIMARY) PLANNING YOUR PROGRAM Suggested f/t recommended program is in the Student Guide If you have RPL, specialised advising may be needed. Select People and Planet units that are also KLAs.

51FACULTY OF HUMAN SCIENCES BABED (PRIMARY) PART TIME Students undertaking a part-time program begin with EDUC105, EDUC106, PSYC104 and PSYC105. In subsequent years they undertake required 200 and 300 level units and required KLA units. Part-time students should plan to complete the methodology sequence of EDTE251–EDTE456 across the last three years of study.
