print and online media in Australia. We will consider both the legal and economic aspects of the regulatory regimes which apply to the media, including issues of licensing, ownership and control. Legal controls on the content of media, including those imposed by the laws of defamation, contempt, privacy and censorship are examined in the context of the democratic notion of freedom of speech. All...

The objective of this unit is to provide a thorough grounding in mechanics, properties of matter, and oscillations, as well as to appreciate the mathematical framework through which quantitative problems in these areas can be solved. On completion of the unit you will be familiar with basic terminology and processes in dynamics. From this unit, you will have developed an appreciation of how the...

The unit KYA102 Physics 1B is the second semester unit designed for students who intend to proceed with further studies in Physics in later years, or who will be proceeding to other courses for which a strong Physics background is required. It provides broad coverage of the fundamentals of electromagnetism, atomic and nuclear physics, light and optics, and waves. Students who do not have a...

Bioinformatics is a core skill that is desperately needed by practitioners in the life sciences, from health to pathology and epidemiology to fundamental biological research. It is a discipline that brings together tools from mathematics, statistics, and computer science, to answer challenging questions that arise in the modern life sciences. The unit is aimed at those pursuing research in the...

This unit introduces you to the pathological processes that underlie various human diseases. It enables students to recognise common pathological conditions. In addition, the histological methods used to demonstrate bacterial and fungal infections, amyloidosis, pigments, neoplasia and immunocytochemistry will be studied theoretically and in practical sessions. The microscopic recognition of (some...

This unit develops the pathological processes that underlie various human diseases. You will recognise common pathological conditions. In addition, histopathological methods and microscopic recognition are used to demonstrate bacterial and fungal infections, amyloidosis, pigments andneoplasia. Immunohistochemistry will be studied theoretically and practically to inform disease processes and...

The BEA471 Macroeconomic unit aims: to introduce students to some of the important recent developments in macroeconomics; to demonstrate how macroeconomists use macroeconomic theory, stylized facts and modelling framework to obtain quantitative answers to some very intriguing questions; and to provide students with some standard tools and models required to deal with the modern macroeconomic...

What does masculinity mean, and why does it exist in so many different forms? In this unit we explore the meaning and manifestations of a variety of different masculinities. We query the cultural expectations regarding masculinity that accompany boyhood, adolescence, middle and old age, as well as the different forms of masculinity associated with different races and class statuses. We question...

Microeconomics is essential for advancing understanding of human behaviours and evaluating the impact of public policy and business practices. The unit builds upon the materials covered in undergraduate economic units. The goal of the unit is to apply the basic principles of microeconomics to analyse a range of real-world problems and policy issues that involve the behaviour of consumers and...
