Course synopses

General Information

This section contains information on each course approved for the University’s teaching program for this year. A course is the smallest component of a program of study for which a separate final grade is awarded. The University reserves the right not to offer any course. If this occurs, students should consult their Faculty on the selection of a substitute course.

All students must ensure that courses selected are appropriate for their level of study and that they have satisfied the pre-requisite, co-requisite and other requisite requirements for each course. Careful reading of the Program Structures and Recommended Enrolment Patterns in the relevant sections of the Handbook (http://www.usq.edu.au/handbook/current/) provide this information. Students should consult their Faculty if in doubt.

Synopses and course specifications included in the introductory course materials are correct at the time of publication. Alternatively, current versions of the synopses and course specifications are available online. Please note that the 2009 course synopses will be available in late 2008. .
