Academic and administrative staff will quickly get to know you. SMALL CLASS SIzESAt ATMC our class sizes are small, so that your learning experience is enjoyable and you do not get lost in the crowd. Your individual learning needs are of utmost importance to us. MODERN EQUIPMENTResources are put back into the College to develop facilities and services that benefit you as a student. The College employs contemporary technology in all aspects of the business, delivery of classes, and services

ExCELLENT TEAChING & LEARNING ENVIRONMENTOur classrooms are spacious, fully air-conditioned and inviting. They are equipped with technologically up to date learning and teaching equipment and resources. ATMC is dedicated to providing the latest and best hardware and software solutions for all our students. From diverse operating systems (such as Windows, Linux and UNIX) to high end software (such as .NET, Java Enterprise, Case Tools etc),

ATMC provides training in all of these areas. All labs are equipped with high-end HP servers, IIS web server, Database management solutions, latest multimedia workstations and wireless devices. STUDENT MENTORSWe at ATMC recognise that students might need additional help with their academic and non academic student support services. So we assign mentors to each of our students. This service is available to all ATMC students, free of charge, whereby they are able to work with high-performing, more senior students, who act as their mentors. These mentors, students with specialised knowledge who have excelled academically, are employed to assist students, either individually or in small study groups. ATMC CAREERS ASSISTANCEAt ATMC we provide specialist career services, including career coaching that is delivered by a qualified Careers Counsellor. These services are free to all enrolled ATMC students and include a Program on Strategic Career Management that is exclusive to ATMC. The program includes workshops that can assist with identifying career opportunities, resume development and preparing for interviews.

bEFORE YOU LEAVEOnce your Confirmation of Enrolment comes through and you have secured your student visa, it’s time to start thinking of some of the practicalities of travelling to Australia. PACkINGIt’s worth packing a few mementos from home that will give you some comfort when you’re missing your friends and family, but keep in mind that most airlines have a checked baggage restriction of about 20kg (about 44lb).

The type of clothing you should bring with you depends on the part of the country you will be living in, and the time of year you arrive. The Australian summer coincides with the first academic semester in February, which is when most international students arrive. This means that you can probably get by with jeans, t-shirts and light jackets. If you arrive in time for the second academic semester around July, you’ll need to pack some warm jumpers or sweaters, long-sleeved t-shirts and a coat to cope with winter weather. However, Australian winters are mild in comparison to the icy weather you’d encounter in the Northern Hemisphere. Check out www.bom.gov.au for the latest weather information around Australia.

INSURANCEChances are pretty good that your trip will go smoothly and you won’t encounter any problems. Even so, you should plan for the unexpected. Cancelled flights, lost luggage and wallets can end up costing you a lot of time and money, so take out travel insurance before you leave. It won’t guard against bad things happening, but it will protect you against having to cover unexpected costs.

All student visa holders entering Australia must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of their stay. OSHC will help you pay for any visits to the doctor you may have while in Australia. Go to the Overseas Student Health Cover page for information on what your OSHC will cover. MONEYYou should bring enough Australian currency in cash for your first few days, without carrying large amounts of cash on you. You should also have easy access to about AU$1,500 – 3,000 in travellers’ cheques (in your name) so that you can start establishing yourself and setting up your new home quickly.

Note that if you are carrying more that AU$10,000, or equivalent currency, you must declare it to Customs officials when you enter Australia.

Student Support

OVERSEAS STUDENT hEALTh COVERAustralia has a special system of health cover for international students called Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). You will need to buy OSHC before you come to Australia to cover you from when you arrive. The Department of Immigration and Border Protection requires you to maintain OSHC for the duration of your time on a student visa in Australia.

ShORT-TERM ACCOMMODATIONIt’s a good idea to try to organise a permanent place to live before you arrive in Australia. However, you may decide to wait until you arrive to get an idea of distances between your campus and surrounding suburbs, or to inspect private rental accommodation. ARRIVING IN AUSTRALIAAt some stage during your flight to Australia you will be handed an Incoming Passenger Card to fill in. Answer the questions accurately and truthfully, especially those about the items in your luggage that you may have to declare to Customs officials.

Once you have cleared this checkpoint you will enter the baggage hall where you can claim your luggage and proceed to Customs and baggage examination.

COUNSELLING SERVICEATMC has a designated Student Support Officer to provide a basic counselling service to all students. This service provides assistance to students experiencing difficulties in any aspect of their lives, including issues of academic or personal nature. ATMC can also refer students to external counselling service for various issues if necessary however each issue is dealt with on a case by case basis. hEALTh SERVICESDetails about the Health Services and Hospitals in the local area are provided during the Orientation Period. You will need to buy OSHC before you come to Australia to cover you from when you arrive.

English language assistance is available to provide ongoing English and study skills support to international students.

MELbOURNEVictoria is not only a great place to study, live and work, Melbourne offers an excellent quality of life – making it one of the world’s most livable cities. SYDNEYSydney is Australia’s largest and most famous city. It’s home to beautiful beaches, iconic buildings, historic landmarks, award winning restaurants and a vibrant culture. From the breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour to the serene tranquillity of Hyde Park, Sydney has something for everyone. GEELONGThe city of Geelong is Victoria’s largest regional city and offers a stunning and vibrant waterfront with parks, gardens, beaches, great shopping and fabulous restaurants and bars. Geelong is a sensibly priced city and provides affordable living for international students. Student visa conditions.

The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) is the Australian Government department which manages everything relating to your student visa. You must make sure you meet the conditions of your visa. There may also be special conditions for students on scholarships.

Make sure you read and understand all the conditions of your scholarship to ensure you comply, or else your visa may be cancelled and you may be deported.

STUDENT VISA CONDITIONS NoncomplianceYour visa conditions are set out in the letter of approval you receive with your visa or on your visa label. It is important that you are familiar with these conditions and follow them. Every year, a number of students abuse the law by, for example, working longer hours than permitted by their visa or overstaying their visa.

If you break your conditions, your visa may be cancelled and you may be required to leave Australia. You may also be prevented from returning to Australia for three years after your visa is cancelled.

If your circumstances change and you want to change your program or provider, or you wish to stay longer, you should contact your nearest DIBP office for advice on how to make these arrangements. It is also important that you ensure your visa does not expire while you are in Australia. If you remain in Australia for more than 28 days after your student visa expires without obtaining a new one, you may be prevented from returning for three years. Please visit www.immi.gov.au for further information.

Extending your VisaIf your student visa expires before you have finished your program of study, you will need to apply for a new one at your local immigration office OR at the visa section at the Australian Mission or Embassy in your home country. Further information is available on the DIBP website at www.immi.gov.au

LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICESYour source of learning support for course content will always be your lecturers and tutors, but you can seek general academic skills support from a Student Adviser or Student Support Officer at your campus. LEARNING CONTExTSYour lecture will generally contain the core information to be covered for that week. All students enrolled in the course will attend lectures as a group. The tutorial provides an opportunity to discuss the lecture and talk about topics in detail. Sometimes students are asked to present papers individually or as part of a group in a tutorial.

Laboratory Sessions (Labs or Pracs) are practical classes, where students conduct tests and experiments with the assistance and supervision of lecturers or tutors.

Self Directed Study is a student’s personal program of study which fits around the ‘contact hours’ of lectures, tutorials and labs.

This personal program includes reading, research, writing up lecture notes, writing essays and reports, discussion with other students and lecturers, studying for exams, etc. A well organised and regular study program is essential for success at ATMC.

Studying in Australia may seem difficult at first. It is natural to take some time to settle into your studies. If you are having difficulties, discuss this with your lecturer or tutor. Your lecturer or tutor is available to assist you if you are not sure what is required.

You may email your lecturer or tutor to arrange with the Student Service Officer a the front desk to organise an appointment. STUDENT MENTORSWe at ATMC recognise that students might need additional help with their academic and non academic student support services. So we assign mentors to each of our students. This service is available to all ATMC students, free of charge, whereby they are able to work with high-performing, more senior students, who act as their mentors. These mentors, students with specialised knowledge who have excelled academically, are employed to assist students, either individually or in small study groups.

A Student Academic Support Officer is also available to assist students with any academic problems including course progress, attendance requirements and any other issues that may arise. ATMC has a friendly and approachable administration team on hand to help you with your transition to life and study in a new environment. STUDENT VISA CONDITIONSThe Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) is the Australian Government department which manages everything relating to your student visa. You must make sure you meet the conditions of your visa. There may also be special conditions for students on scholarships. Make sure you read and understand all the conditions of your scholarship to ensure you comply, or else your visa may be cancelled and you may be deported. ACCOMMODATIONFinding the right accommodation is one of the biggest challenges facing a new international student, and finding a place in your price range can be even harder. It is extremely important that you factor the cost of housing into your budget before you come to Australia, and have access to funds that will cover rent expenses. Keep an eye on websites like: www.domain.com.au and www.realestate.com.au. Which list properties to rent. This should give you a good idea of the type of accommodation that is available to a person with your budget. Another good tip is to get references from people you may already have rented accommodation from at home.

Providing copies of these to a real estate agent when you apply for a property can show them that you have a proven record of being a good tenant. You should also be prepared to provide them with evidence that you have enough money to pay for your accommodation, for example with a bank account statement.

www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/ftw/ Tenants_and_home_owners/Boarding_houses.page TYPES OF ACCOMMODATIONThere are many different types of accommodation available, so you should be able to find something that suits your needs. Most accommodation, except home stay, does not include electrical items, furniture, and bedding or kitchen utensils. Cheap household goods are available from second-hand retail outlets or are advertised for private sale in newspapers or on institution notice boards, but you may wish to bring some of your own basic items.

Temporary accommodation can be arranged for you before you leave home so that when you arrive you have some time to consider your long-term options. PUbLIC TRANSPORTVictoria: Melbourne and Geelong both have plenty of transport options to get you around town or across the country. Australia’s public transport system is comparably safe and affordable (in some cases, it’s even free). Depending on where you live it can include trains, buses and trams. You can buy tickets at train stations, and at news agencies or on board buses and trams.

For bus, train and tram timetables, maps and fares go to www.//ptv.vic.gov.au.

Regional Trains: Getting to and from Geelong is made easy by the fast commuter rail service that travels to and the city regularly.Contact V/Line on 136 196 or www.vline.com.au for timetable and fare information.

NSW: It’s very easy to plan your trip to and from any part of Sydney using all means of transport using the websites: www.transport.nsw.gov.au www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/explore/getting-around/public-transport

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES PROGRAMSAn ongoing social activities program runs throughout each semester and provides opportunities for students to enjoy a range of activities outside study. We have many activities available including regular student parties, film screenings, and visits to the Immigration museum. These events are a great way to meet other students and make new friends. Event calendars are made available on enrolment. ORIENTATION PROGRAMA free orientation program is conducted for all new international students before classes begin and is compulsory for all newly commencing international students. The program includes an introduction to the College, its services and facilities as well as an introduction to Australian culture, society and life. Students are also introduced to the academic culture and rules of the College that are necessary for successful study. The orientation program also involves social activities, which will help you to meet other students and familiarise yourself with the campus and surrounds. ACADEMIC OR PERSONAL SUPPORTWe at ATMC recognize that students might need additional help with their studies and therefore we assign mentors to our students. The Student Mentoring Program is all about students helping students. It connects students who are undertaking their first semester of study at ATMC with other students who are further along in their own studies. The Student Mentoring Program is open to all ATMC students, free of charge, whereby they are able to work with high-performing, more senior students, who act as their mentors. These mentors, students with specialized knowledge who have excelled academically, are employed to assist students, either individually or in small study groups.

Courses & ProgramsFederation University Australia

Jessica Wai YanMy name is Jessica Cheng and I am studying a Bachelor of Information Technology in Business Systems at ATMC in Association with Federation University of Australia. There are many reasons why I chose to study in Australia. It is one of the top 3 most popular destinations for international students and Australia has a reputation of quality recognition and assurance. Its a multicultural society and the locals were so friendly to me, they made me feel like I was home. Besides that, when I browsed the web for courses I was amazed by how many courses that were available for international students to choose from. Then I decided I wanted to stay in Australia to study further so I would have a brighter future. Studying in Australia was the best decision I ever made, I have learned to be independent, responsible but most importantly I learned to adapt to a completely different surrounding without relying on my family for support. It was difficult at first when I started studying and working but soon after I managed to balance it out.

Program Outline

This program aims to provide students with a good foundation in IT fundamentals along with the flexibility to specialise in further IT areas or combine their studies with fields outside of IT.

The Bachelor of Technology consists of 8 core and 4 elective computing courses. Various major streams consisting of 8 courses and minor streams of 4 courses are proposed. Courses for major and minor areas of study will be required to be taken at appropriate levels for the program to be AQF compliant. For example, students would not be able to take more than 8 first year courses and would need to take at least 6 third year courses. Initially, the major and minor areas of study will come from the following areas: Information Systems, Software Engineering, Computer Games, Multimedia, Mathematics, and Statistics. Future offerings could include majors or minors in Management, Engineering and other areas that are relevant to particular cohorts. The Bachelor of Technology differs from the School’s current IT offerings by allowing these major/minor areas of study with less core IT courses.

Program Objectives

This program aims to provide students with a good foundation in IT fundamentals along with the flexibility to specialise in further IT areas or combine their studies with fields outside of IT. The objectives of the Bachelor of Technology are that students should be able to:

• familiarisethemselveswiththelatestdevelopmentsininformation technology; • showanawarenessofethicsandsocialimplicationsininformation technology; • appreciatetherapidityoftechnologicalchancesanddevelopan understanding of fields of study relevant to their chosen specialisations; • developasoundworkingknowledgeoftraditionalsoftwarefoundationsof information technology; • applytechnologyskillsinarangeofareaswhichareutilisingIT; • evaluatecurrentlyexistingtechnologysystemsandnewdevelopments; • enhancetheirwrittenandoralcommunicationskills; • gather,analyseandsynthesiseinformation,andtomakedecisionsbasedon this information.

Program Outline

The Bachelor of Information Technology (Business Systems) examines - with a strong emphasis on electronic commerce - the organisational and technological issues that are needed for the analysis and design of business information systems.

The constantly expanding information infrastructure has opened up many careers for information systems graduates, ranging from the very technical to the very business-oriented. A variety of career opportunities exist in small, medium and large business and government in the major areas of information systems development, systems analysis, systems design, information management, database design and administration, electronic commerce and consultant.
