Macquarie University

Participation units

The Participation and Community Engagement (PACE) initiative is a key component of the University's strategic vision. Through this initiative, from 2012, participation units will be an integral part of the undergraduate curriculum. These units will allow a specific focus on the development of interpersonal and social capabilities. Specifically, participation units are being offered to:

• develop the capabilities of Macquarie students to actively contribute to the well-being of people and the planet
• enhance students' educational experience and work-readiness by offering them opportunities to apply their academic learning to real world situations
• assist our local, regional and international partners build their capacity
• transform the learning, teaching and research experience at Macquarie to enable us to better contribute to a socially inclusive and sustainable society.

Participation units are academically rigorous and must meet the participation criteria as approved by Academic Senate.
The structure of each degree program determines whether completion of a participation unit is a requirement. In some cases it will be a requirement; in other cases students will have an opportunity to complete a participation unit if they choose to do so.
