this is NOt A cOuRsE guidEIt doesn’t have lots of detail on credit points or academic units. It doesn’t talk about semesters. Not because they’re not important, but because degrees are only part of what we do. A degree won’t make you successful, or a better person. It won’t even get you a job. Studying here, you’ll learn how to do these things for yourself. Because a UOW education will start conversations. It will help you figure out what to do in tough situations. It will connect you with people who care about the same things as you, people you can learn from and call your friends.

So this is not a course guide.

Results like these are great. We love to have our hard work acknowledged—but honestly, we’d be doing what we’re doing anyway.

We’re not after ‘good’. We’re not even after ‘best’. At UOW, we do better: better than last year, better than we did before.

And we’ll keep doing that forever.

Andrew MoonBachelor of Journalism – Bachelor of Arts

Producer, ABC news 24

2011 was a huge year for world news. Devastating tsunamis hit Japan. Floods ravaged Queensland. Libya went through a dramatic upheaval.

UOW graduate Andrew Moon works as a producer at ABC News 24’s Sydney Newsroom covering these stories round the clock every day.

“Each day the content is so different, and that’s what I love about this job. Today for instance, the carbon tax bill was passed through senate and Dr Conrad Murray was convicted of Michael Jackson’s death,” he says. “It was a huge news day.”

Navigating this kind of news environment requires someone who can think quickly and deliver results—the kind of skills you don’t get in a classroom.

“I really feel that the practical experience I got while I was doing my Bachelor of Journalism at UOW set me up to adapt here quickly. In a newsroom there is no idle time, so it was critical to hit the ground running.

“For me the other standout was the connections I made while I was at UOW and also doing internships. Networks are invaluable in this job.”

It takes a year of hard work to make a race car from scratch. But UOW Formula SAE team leader Matthew Gollasch says it’s people, not parts, that win races.

Every year, UOW students form a team to enter the Formula SAE racing competition, a global challenge that sees teams of engineers from all over the world build and drive a race car. The UOW team has ranked in the top 10 for the last six years.

The project is run entirely by students, and not just mechanical engineers. Anyone can contribute. They form sub-teams responsible for individual systems in the car: engine, suspension, brakes, body.

Every part is individually tested as it’s being manufactured, to ensure it will make the best contribution to the car. At the end of the year, in the final month before the race, it’s time for track testing, when the complete car is driven for the first time.

It’s an exciting time for Matthew. “You put all this effort into the design, and you get to see it work.”

At that point, Matthew says teamwork is the big difference.

“Ultimately, a good team will make a good car. After all,” he adds, “you only get out what you put in.”

willo grosseBachelor of nanotechnology Advanced

Nanotechnology is a field of science that has brought us inventions such as the cochlear implant, a machine that has given people with impaired hearing the ability to understand speech.

Or what PhD candidate Willo Grosse is working on: an implanted battery that runs on the glucose in your blood. The charge it will generate is tiny, but Willo hopes it will be enough to power small devices like a pacemaker—forever.

This kind of research takes patience and perseverance, though. It will be years before a battery is ready to be implanted in a patient, and it needs the contribution of dozens of scientists like Willo.

“It’s going to help people. That’s what drives you to keep going.”

Willo has the support of her supervisor, Laureate Fellow Dr Gordon Wallace, a world leader in polymer technologies, and she is working in UOW’s new labs in North Wollongong. So she has reason to be upbeat about the future of the tiny technologies she’s helping build.

In her words, “it’s going to be huge.”

AnitA QUinn BAChELOR OF COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES – BAChELOR OF ARTS

Third-year politics student anita travelled across the world and ended up confronting a problem on her own doorstep.

She went on exchange to University of Siena, Italy, at the end of her second year over summer. An avid student of politics, she found her time there fascinating. But what she also found in Italy was a country in financial dire straits, with high unemployment.

“There were huge gaps in the quality of education, and the opportunities people had.”

When she came back, Anita saw parallels with what was happening in Italy and what was happening in Australian schools. Five years ago, 86% of non-Indigenous students who started high school finished Year 12. Only 45% of Indigenous students achieved the same.

That’s where AIME, the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience comes in, with the goal of improving education outcomes for Indigenous students.

Anita signed up, to work one-on-one with an Indigenous high school student, a process Anita found personally very rewarding.

“It was great to be doing something real, something that wasn’t big rhetoric.”

AIME works, too. In 2010, the percentage of kids in AIME who progressed from Year 9 all the way to university was eight times higher than the national average.

And it has paid dividends for Anita. She’s using the insight she gained through AIME to help pursue her goal of working in international political media. She will be working at ABC news when she graduates.

As someone who, in her words, “grew up with the ABC and SBS”, she already feels like she’s found a home.

laura and morrell are part of a global community coming together to help people in Wollongong.

Laura Casaceli is a second-year commerce and communications student from Cronulla, Australia. She has pursued every chance to travel and gain experience with humanitarian organisations.

“I love education and travel. It really helps me understand people,” she says. “My goal is to work for Amnesty in women’s rights.”

Next year on exchange to Long Beach, USA, she plans to work with Invisible Children, an organisation working to stop recruitment of child soldiers in Uganda.

Morell Ng from Hong Kong is studying accountancy and wants to put those skills to work in a non-profit organisation. Leaving his comfort zone and studying in Australia was a way to make connections with people.

“I wanted a challenge, a way to meet new people and learn to work with them,” he says. “My dream job is to create a team of people who will work on environmental sustainability.”

Through a UOW leadership program, they each volunteered to work with SCARF, an Illawarra organisation that welcomes refugee families to Australia and supports them.

SCARF is working with over 140 families in the Illawarra, many of them from Burma and six African nations. Some families have spent 15 or 20 years living in refugee camps, and they arrive with no support networks—the kind we take for granted. So SCARF also runs events to help migrants build up new social networks, like the family fun day Laura and Morrell helped organise.

At UOW we’re pursuing big goals together: protecting the environment, breaking the poverty cycle, giving everyone equal chance for health and happiness. And we’re bringing together the best, brightest and most different minds we can find to do it.

MiChAel O’hAllOrAn BAChELOR OF SCIENCE (POPULATION hEALTh)

michael is bringing health care to the remote north of australia, on a journey he started in uoW’s rural health club sharp.

Michael works for the Katherine West Health Board, an Aboriginal community controlled health service. The board is the sole provider of clinical, emergency and preventative health care to mostly Indigenous people over a 162,000-square-kilometre region on the western side of the Northern Territory.

He traces this career back to his days in UOW’s rural health club, SHARP. Through the club he got involved in activities that complemented his studies in Indigenous health, including a visit to Indigenous festivals in Dubbo and Moruya.

“That festival really was the clincher for me,” recalls Michael. “There would have been more than 1,000 kids running around there, performing on stage and coming to our booth.”

“It occurred to me that many of those children would die a lot earlier than they should in a wealthy country like Australia,” Michael says, referring to the 10-year gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Michael has joined the ranks of people determined to address this problem. Given the number of people affected and the extent of the changes needed to help them, Michael’s advice to anyone who would follow him is encouragingly simple.

“Health work up here is more than a job. The people you’re dealing with are your next door neighbours, the people you see in the shops and walking down the street.

“Get to know people, become active in the community. That’s when you really get to experience Australia.”

That’s not all that’s keeping psychology student Loretta Howell here, however. “I’ve never lived somewhere so warm, where you can just go and swim in the ocean every day.” While the change in surroundings has been remarkable, the learning style in Australia has also been a pleasant surprise. “It’s really up to you if you get your work done. I like that. You should be focused.” She came to UOW for a semester abroad, and is now planning to finish her Psychology degree here. She’s one of about five hundred students who come to UOW every year for international exchange, but one of the few who stay for a whole degree. “I really fell in love with Australia. Everywhere I’ve been, all the people I’ve met have been amazing,” she explains. “I haven’t finished with Australia yet.”

In Wollongong, after class I’ll go to the beach. In Boulder, after class in winter everyone goes snowboarding. Less than an hour after class I was on the slopes.” He was also advancing his degree in International Science, taking classes in the ethics of public healthcare, or enrolling in PhD-level coursework subjects on polymers.

They are NSW Champions of Champions, State League and League Cup winners, Illawarra Premiers and potential world record holders—and tryouts are open to anyone who wants to have a go.

Team Captain Lyndsay Andrew has been with the Hippos since her first year at UOW, and says the welcoming spirit in the team is one of the reasons they’re champions.

“There’s something about the Hippos that’s like a family,” Lyndsay says. “We have girls coming here from everywhere, even overseas. You can see it on the field. When you are close, the team plays better.”

New players are welcomed to the Hippos every season, just like they are to the 20 or so other UOW teams in football, rugby league, rugby union or hockey. Or any of the dozens of casual competition sporting teams.

Lyndsay also knows what it’s like to have to leave the club she’d played with since pre-school and come to a new town for uni. “I was lucky enough to know some girls in the team before I came here. It helped me know this team was here,” she recalls.

“The Hippos have been a big part of my life.”

Someone who grew up with Australian rock and believes in local talent. Someone who’s determined to bring live music and performance to all UOW campuses. Someone who can’t explain why she does what she does any better than:

“I just love music.”

April graduated from UOW with a Bachelor of Arts in 2008. Soon after, she started working part-time for UniCentre. Now, if there’s an act performing on-campus, it has April’s fingerprints all over it.

“It’s important you connect with your peers when you’re studying. Strong bonds are vital for support when it gets tough. So we want to build a strong community here.”

“Everyone should be able to enjoy music. It doesn’t matter where you are, there’s amazing talent right on your doorsteps.”

Bands from our region are high on April’s list, with a lot of Illawarra and UOW student acts getting stage time at the University. And when a band who got a start on-campus makes it big, April is, in her words, “pretty stoked.”

“I want to give people a chance to see what I see. It’s hard not to be proud when you see everyone at a gig smiling and having a good time. It’s amazing to think you’re affecting their experience so much.”

glenn BArKleYBachelor of Creative Arts (Visual Arts and design) CURATOR, MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART, SYDNEY

When Glenn Barkley studied art at UOW, he didn’t imagine he would find a career as a curator—certainly not in one of the country’s most eminent galleries, Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA). Now, on the eve of revealing a significant collection in the MCA’s new wing, he says he can’t see himself anywhere else.

Glenn stands in front of Sydney artist Keg De Souza’s Impossible Utopia in an empty-shop-turned gallery. When the MCA closed to complete a $53 million upgrade, it opened a number of pop-up and public galleries like this.

There’s something irrepressible about art.

Working as one of three curators in Australia’s eminent contemporary art gallery is a big responsibility, but there’s raw excitement in the way Glenn talks about his work at the Museum.

“I’m a fan, a real fan,” he enthuses. “I can go to a gallery and tell you about the collection from the point of view of a curator, about the connections between the art, why they might be together. But there’s certainly a lot of art I love and can’t tell you why.”

“My expectations about what art is are challenged all the time.”

Reinterpreting and investigating art are key to what he does. Is a technically traditional painting contemporary art? “At the MCA, we want to expand the idea and definition of contemporary art.”

He recalls one installation, a series of large colourful geometric abstractions. “It’s a fairly aloof kind of art,

it doesn’t reveal itself all at once. I’d come in the afternoon, spend my break looking at it. I’d think it was a shame that no one else was there, it was such a beautiful piece of art.”

In talking to the Visitor Services Officers—the people who help visitors around the gallery—he found he wasn’t as alone as he thought. “They told me this was actually one of the most popular rooms in the museum. Absolutely everyone was going in there. The audience, the public, is sophisticated. They’re smart. They are ready to understand and appreciate art.”

Glenn says he is fortunate to work in a relatively small team where he can build close working relationships.

“I’m very lucky to work with friends. There are good curators at the MCA, good registrars, a great Director.”

“And the install crew at the MCA are amazing,” he says of the team responsible for physically placing the artworks in the museum space. “They’re proud of what they do, you can see it in the level of detail in their work. Many of them also work as artists, so they respect the work—they love art too.”

This quality and passion is essential for success, in Glenn’s opinion. “Those artists and curators who get to the top have that belief. That’s how they get there. In my experience, anyone who gets to a high level in their field is consumed by their work.”

“Passion should inform everything you do. If it doesn’t, you’re probably doing the wrong thing.”

PASSION ShOULD INFORM EVERYThING YOU DO. IF IT DOESN’T, YOU’RE PROBABLY DOING ThE WRONG ThING.

“Contributing to society, ‘giving back’: it sounds like a cliché, but I always knew in my heart that that’s what I wanted to do with my life,” UOW graduate Alison Ewart confides. Standing in the halls of the Australian Human Rights Commission, it’s easy to take her seriously.

After graduating from UOW, Alison earned a place in a corporate law firm in Sydney, but found herself drifting away from traditional corporate law to pro bono work. Her experiences in this area fuelled her interest in human rights law—and drove her to a career with the Australian Human Rights Commission, where she now works as an Associate to the President and Human Rights Commissioner.

Alison’s role in the Commission sees her helping to uphold the rights of children, refugees and asylum seekers, and protecting people from institutional violence and discrimination. This work often entails making complex legal and policy recommendations on matters of human rights abuse. The work is hard, and requires the expertise of lawyers, barristers and other professionals.

“I feel like the combination of studies in law and politics provided me with the skills and knowledge necessary to work well in this area.”

“Legal training provides the analytical and research skills to determine what the law is,” she says. “The study of politics provides a firm understanding of why our society has the laws it does and how change might be brought about. Each area of study informs the other and together, they provide a solid foundation for work in the area of law and policy, whether specifically in human rights or otherwise.”

“Without doubt the biggest achievement in my career to date was contributing to the Commission’s submissions in our intervention in the High Court’s consideration of the agreement between Australia and Malaysia regarding the treatment of asylum seekers.”

The agreement proposed that the Australian Government would swap ‘unprocessed’ asylum seekers for ‘processed’ people waiting in Malaysia.

“The Commission has the authority to seek leave of the court to intervene in proceedings involving human rights issues,” Alison explains. “In this case due to our significant concerns about the human rights of unaccompanied children seeking asylum in Australia.”

The High Court’s decision effectively invalidated the so-called ‘Malaysia solution’.

“When the High Court handed down their decision, I thought: this is what it’s all about,” she says of the decision that effectively ensured children seeking asylum in Australia would have proper protection under the law.

“Although I played just a small part in the process, I was proud and privileged to have done so.”

Reflecting on her work, Alison remains level-headed.

“The reality is, sometimes laws and policies are made that infringe upon the rights of people, particularly those in our most vulnerable communities.”

“Sometimes these impacts are overt and at others they are more subtle. It’s for that reason that the work of the Australian Human Rights Commission is so important.”

nABil nAgHdYBachelor of telecommunications engineering TEChNOLOGY STRATEGIST, GOOGLE AUSTRALIA, SYDNEY

Googling yourself is all in a day’s work for UOW graduate Nabil Naghdy.

“We do it to test how the latest algorithms are working,” he explains, almost convincingly.

“I work on strategy for technology and telco clients including Microsoft and Apple. I recommend a strategy that draws on Google technologies and products like search, YouTube, Google Plus and so on. My favourite thing about what I do is getting results, knowing what I am working on is having an impact for my clients.

“A typical day starts with me looking at the market and analysing industry news and best practise strategy, often from the US. Then we come up with a plan of how it can be applied here.”

Nabil is passionate about the benefits that the National Broadband Network (NBN) will bring to business in Australia. “We are currently behind the rest of the world in technology development and one of the main reasons is our internet speed.”

“If workforces can easily do business with organisations in other countries, there is no reason for talented minds

to leave country areas. I think we will start to see economic hubs moving away from capital cities. The NBN is really a long term investment for this country and will change the way that businesses operate.”

This kind of large-scale lateral thinking is part of being a technology strategist, but Nabil says it also reflects the Google culture. “People here are independent thinkers who love what they do and it shows in the work they produce.”

And it’s this independent thinking that started at UOW for Nabil. “The one-on-one time I had with my teachers developed the way I approach problems and it’s a skill that has set me up well for being part of this team.”

After Nabil graduated from a Bachelor of Telecommunications Engineering at UOW, he never compromised in his quest to work for Google. He applied for several jobs there, all the time knowing that it was where he wanted to work.

“You could say I’ve been persistent about working here,” he adds. In the end, it sounds like this commitment was worth it. “Working here has exceeded all my expectations.”

it’s not just what you learn that counts, it’s how you learn it. What you know at the end of your degree is just a head start. it’s the ability to keep learning for the rest of your life that will put you in the career you want and keep you there. uoW offers options at every stage of your university experience, from application to graduation. you’ll always have the chance to learn the way you learn best.

dOubLE dEgREEsUOW offers a diverse selection of double degree programs. They let you complete two separate Bachelor degrees simultaneously, in less time than if you studied them one after the other.

Double degrees are very well suited for you if you want the broadest possible career options; or if you want the blend of skills necessary for certain niche careers. They also let you pursue interests so diverse it would be impossible to study them in any single degree.

Example degrees:

� Bachelor of Journalism – Bachelor of International Studies � Bachelor of Laws – Bachelor of Information Technology � Bachelor of Creative Arts – Bachelor of Science

bAchELOR dEgREEsStandard Bachelor degrees offer you many options to specialise and combine interests.

The greatest advantage of standard Bachelor programs is their flexibility. They offer you a wide range of majors, to specialise your studies. Many also offer the option of undertaking a double major, or a broad range of elective subjects, so you can essentially custom-build your own qualification.

Example degrees:

� Bachelor of Arts � Bachelor of Commerce � Bachelor of Public Health

DeAn’s sChOlAr

Dean’s scholar degrees are similar to Advanced degrees, with many ways for high-achievers to excel. They are built on standard Bachelor degrees and so are available in many of the same study areas. They offer research and major projects that adapt to your interests and strengths, as well as the ability to accelerate your degree. They also give you the chance to be paired with an academic mentor in the faculty. Their normal length is three years, and Dean’s Scholars often progress to an Honours year, where they can continue high-level work in their area of interest.

Our degrees give you options for how you want to learn. They also reflect the needs of future employers, paving the way for a specialist career with up-to-the-minute knowledge and recognised methods.

uoW degrees will connect you with your passion, your talents, and your career. Whatever the destination, we know there are different ways to get there.

sPEciAList dEgREEsSpecialist degrees are highly prescribed. They provide less flexibility for you to tailor your program of study, but offer a higher level of mastery in the given study area. Because of this, specialist degrees are generally longer than regular Bachelor programs, but also attract a high level of professional accreditation.

These degrees are often necessary for specialised professional careers, and suitable for anyone who wishes to pursue their interest to the highest level.

Example degrees:

� Bachelor of Engineering � Bachelor of Nursing � Bachelor of Nanotechnology � Bachelor of Laws

Similar to the Dean’s Scholar program, the Bachelor of Engineering (Scholar) is for high-achieving students with good mathematics ability.

AdvANcEd dEgREEsAdvanced degrees are highly responsive to your interests, with many options to tailor your work to your specific interest. A feature common to all Advanced degrees is a major research component, where you get to choose the topic based on your skills and interests. You may have the chance to undertake individual research projects, or work with teams undertaking high-level investigations—or both.

Advanced degrees are recognised as superior qualifications and identify you as a skilled independent worker. If you choose to pursue the research focus further, they are ideal qualifications for commercial or government research positions, as well as careers in academia.

These degrees also include an integral Honours year.

Example degrees:

� Bachelor of Biotechnology Advanced � Bachelor of Science Advanced � Bachelor of Medical and Health Sciences Advanced

hOnOUrs

Honours distinguishes a graduate as a high achiever, and they are recognised as a qualification above and beyond a Bachelor degree. Honours programs are often built around a research project. As well as being integrated into Advanced and some specialist degrees, an additional one-year Honours program can be added to most Bachelor degrees.
