Assessment

PrOfESSiOnAl OUtCOmES Urban planners are in great demand in the public, private and community sectors in Australia and overseas. State and local government opportunities are strong in several areas including integrated transport planning, affordable housing strategy development, regional planning and various aspects of urban design. In the private sector, planning and urban design consultancies value professionals with the strong analytical, place design and negotiation skills developed in the program. Extensive opportunities also exist in property development and community organisations.

PrOfESSiOnAl rECOgnitiOn The combined Bachelor of Urban Design and Planning and the Master of Urban Planning have interim accreditation by the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA). International accreditation for this degree has also been achieved with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

nathan Quartermainemaster of Urban Planning

I chose to study my Masters of Urban Planning at Bond University as it provided an accelerated course within a School that was heavily focussed on Sustainable Development initiatives.

After studying my undergraduate degree at a larger university I was impressed by the intimate yet challenging class room experience that Bond provides. With smaller classes and industry experienced staff the classroom has a practical and engaging feel where students readily develop into leaders of the built environment.

PrOgrAm dESCriPtiOnThe Bond Medical Program is an integrated case-based course, built around four themes: Scientific Basis of Medicine; Clinical Skills; Health and Society; and Personal and Professional Development. A variety of teaching and learning methods are employed, including case-based small group tutorials (problem based learning), practical classes, clinical skills training, self-directed learning, web-based/e-learning, interactive seminars and lectures. A strong emphasis is placed on clinical skills training and due to small class sizes, students learn in a highly personalised environment on state-of-the-art equipment. Students spend the significant majority of the final 2.5 years of the course in clinical based settings in hospitals and general practices. PrOfESSiOnAl OUtCOmESThe Bond Medical Program is accredited by the Australian Medical Council, assuring that it meets or exceeds the agreed national guidelines for medical education. Upon successful completion of the program graduates are qualified for registration as a medical practitioner in any State or Territory in Australia.Graduates from the course will have the appropriate knowledge, attitudes and skills to function effectively as interns in Australian hospitals and will be ideally positioned to undergo further training in any of the Australasian specialty colleges. PrOgrAm StrUCtUrEThe first seven semesters are located primarily on campus. Approximately 10-20 hours per week during these semesters is face-to-face teaching, allowing ample time for reflection and self-directed learning. Specifically, semesters 1 and 2 focus on the Scientific Basis of Medicine theme - particularly medical chemistry, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology and genetics.

During semesters 3 - 7, the Scientific Basis of Medicine theme includes physiology, anatomy, pathology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, bio-informatics and diagnostic investigations (including imaging). All body systems are covered in depth with extensive use of problem-based learning (PBL). Evidence-based practice and training in research methodology are major streams of the Health and Society theme, together with health promotion and illness prevention in populations/communities. Throughout the course, students undergo extensive training in clinical and communication skills to ensure students can communicate clearly with patients. For the second half of the program (semesters 8 - 15), students are primarily located in hospitals where they undertake several clinical rotations, including medicine, surgery, paediatrics and general practice. During Year 4 there is an elective term which students can spend at any approved health care setting in Australia or overseas. Final year students complete pre-internship training which aims to orientate them to the hospital environment prior to commencing their intern year.

Bond University is a not-for-profit, private, independent university which means that fees are able to be directly re-invested to provide outstanding education and facilities for students.

Tuition is charged at the beginning of each semester as you enrol. The amount of fees payable by international students are the same as those for domestic students. Students will need to meet the costs of living expenses, textbooks and other equipment but at Bond University you will not need to budget for on-campus parking or the use of sporting facilities.

YOUth AllOWAnCE/ AUStUdYIf you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident aged 16 years or over and studying full-time, you may be eligible to apply for Austudy/Youth Allowance benefits from the Commonwealth Government. For more information, contact Centrelink directly.

fEE-hElPIf you are an Australian citizen or a holder of a permanent humanitarian visa, you will be able to access the Australian Government’s student loan program called FEE-HELP. FEE-HELP is an interest free loan that helps eligible fee paying students pay their tuition fees. The accumulated debt is indexed according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Eligible students who wish to pay for part or all of their tuition fees through FEE-HELP must complete a ‘Request for FEE-HELP assistance’ form, including the provision of a tax file number and return with their ‘Response to Offer’ form. A student can then elect to pay a portion of fees directly to the University, and the remaining debt will be registered as a loan through the Australian Taxation Office.

The current maximum loan available through FEE-HELP is up to AUD$83,313 for all postgraduate degrees unless FEE-HELP has already been used to fund all or part of an undergraduate degree. The loan is repaid to the Australian Taxation Office taking compulsory repayments through

the taxation system when you earn over AUD$41,595 in a financial year. A 10% bonus is granted for any voluntary payments over AUD$500. Please visit www.goingtouni.gov.au to view the Government publications on FEE-HELP.
