This is a core unit designed to further improve your knowledge and understanding of English language skills and techniques. In this unit you will apply study skills needed to succeed at university, participate in critical discussions, and develop your teamwork and presentation skills. ...

This unit aims to develop your understanding of macroeconomic analysis, including the circular-flow model, aggregate demand aggregate supply model and government macroeconomic goals. You will learn how economists measure macroeconomic activity including national income, output, employment, inflation, balance of payments, terms of trade and the exchange rate. You will also learn how to analyse...

This unit aims to provide students with an understanding of the ‘economic problem’, the need for economic decision making and the framework for the microeconomic analysis. This includes analysing how consumers and producers make decisions, and understanding the operation of markets (goods and services, resources, labour markets and internationally traded commodities) and the function of price...

This unit (along with Chemistry 1B) is the required prerequisite for students intending to major in Chemistry and for those intending to proceed to any second-year chemistry unit. The unit builds on the introduction to chemistry given in year 12 and provides a foundation to four of the sub disciplines of chemistry: analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. Emphasis is placed on: •...

In this unit you will develop knowledge and understanding of key theories and concepts relating to the study of mass communication in a historical, local and global perspective. You will critically analyse news media and social media and their roles in business and societal processes while examining media ethics and regulatory practice in the context of news culture, social media and the internet....

This unit is a continuation of XPD127 with emphasis on the application of single- variable calculus and linear algebra to problems in the physical and biological sciences, economics, and engineering. The units XDD127 and XPD128 also provide an excellent introduction to the mathematical rigour required for higher level mathematics based subjects. Successful completion of XDD127 and XPD128 is the...

The applicability of calculus and linear algebra is so broad that fluency in it is essential for a successful career in a variety of areas including science and engineering. This unit is devoted to the conceptual and logical development of these two main areas of mathematics, gradually building the tools for solving innumerable problems of great practicle importance. In calculus part of the unit,...

The main objective of this unit is to develop in students the ability to analyse engineering statics problems in a simple and logical manner through the application of several basic principles. It will consolidate the fundamental concepts of Newton's Mechanics learnt by students in physics courses during their college studies. [It also aims to provide students with the ability to make an informed...

In this unit you will develop knowledge and skills for solving problems in engineering dynamics based on fundamental theory developed using Newtonian Mechanics with an introductory focus on particle kinematics and kinetics. This is undertaken by applying theory to solve dynamics problems based on Newton Mechanics as well as practical implementation based on undertaking laboratory experiments. The...
