| CRICOS Code | 094320F |
| Overview and Aims of the Program | This intensive program is designed to equip international and domestic students with the skills and capabilities to seek entry into an Australian higher education program. This program provides an academic entry pathway to a first year undergraduate Degree program. |
| Graduate Capabilities | The Graduate Capabilities Framework articulates the fundamentals that underpin all of Macquarie’s academic programs. It expresses these as follows: Interpersonal or social capabilities |
| Program Learning Outcomes | By the end of this program it is anticipated you should be able to: 1. Demonstrate an understanding of fundamental concepts and terminology in disciplines relevant to chosen stream of study. 2. Communicate ideas using academic English at a level appropriate for entry into university at undergraduate level. 3. Work independently and collaboratively to achieve learning goals. |
| Learning and Teaching Methods | Students will be undertaking a variety of independent and collaborative activities which are designed to introduce and develop independent learning. There will be formal lectures in the program, which may also be available online for revision purposes. Lecture material will be supplemented with small group teaching which will involve the interrogation of concepts and ideas in peer groups and with teachers. Students will learn to collaborate with peers, and develop communication skills and problem solving abilities, again in small group project work and individually using online technologies. Further students will be involved in developing research skills through independent discovery and reading activities. Depending on the chosen units of study, students may engage in laboratory work observing and undertaking experiments in the physical sciences. |
| Assessment | Assessment in the intensive program closely mirrors assessment in tertiary studies to ensure students are adequately prepared for an undergraduate degree. The program encompasses a wide variety of assessment methods, including essays, presentations, formal examinations, tutorial preparation, group work, practical projects, experimental work, debates, research and research reports. Clear standards and criteria for each assessment task will be published. The program incorporates both formative and summative feedback and each assessment task will result in feedback that will inform and guide your progress and learning. Such feedback may be written or in discussion with peers and teachers. |
| Recognition of Prior Learning | Macquarie University may recognise prior formal, informal and non-formal learning for the purpose of granting credit towards, or admission into, a program. The recognition of these forms of learning is enabled by the University’s Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Policy (see www.mq.edu.au/policy) and its associated Procedures and Guidelines. The RPL pages contain information on how to apply, links to registers, and the approval processes for recognising prior learning for entry or credit. Domestic Students International Students |
| Support for Learning | Macquarie University aspires to be an inclusive and supportive community of learners where all students are given the opportunity to meet their academic and personal goals. The University offers a comprehensive range of free and accessible student support services which include academic advice, counselling and psychological services, advocacy services and welfare advice, careers and employment, disability services and academic skills workshops amongst others. There is also a bulk billing medical service located on campus. |
| Program Standards and Quality | The program is subject to an ongoing comprehensive process of quality review in accordance with a pre-determined schedule that complies with the Higher Education Standards Framework. The review is overseen by Macquarie University's peak academic governance body, the Academic Senate and takes into account feedback received from students, staff and external stakeholders. |
| Assessment Regulations | This program is subject to Macquarie University regulations, including but not limited to those specified in the Assessment Policy, Academic Honesty Policy, the Final Examination Policy and relevant University Rules. For all approved University policies, procedures, guidelines and schedules visit www.mq.edu.au/policy. |
