This unit aims for students to demonstrate an understanding of sampling, summary statistics and data displays, and to identify and analyse continuous bi-variate data, to use algebraic methods to solve systems of linear equations and to apply methods, concepts and theories to calculate confidence intervals for population parameters. ...

This unit explores how animal science production can be expanded to meet future needs while maintaining social licence to operate and minimising climate impacts. Students will gain knowledge of the science underpinning aspects of modern animal production and develop an awareness of the major ethical, welfare and sustainability issues impacting animal industries. Students will have the opportunity...

In this unit, you will learn how to measure the abundance and biomass of fish populations to inform sustainable fisheries management. The unit will cover the theory of marine population dynamics and critically discuss the assumptions underpinning a diverse range of fishery assessment approaches applied today - from simple ecological indicators to sophisticated models. During weekly computer labs,...

Biomechanics is the study of internal and external forces acting on the human body and the movements produced by these forces. This unit examines basic principles of mechanics applicable to the study of human movement and selected biomechanical techniques available for quantifying human performance. This unit assumes an understanding of the information presented in CXA232 Kinesiology and builds...

This unit provides students with knowledge of the fundamental concepts of statical stability and trim of intact and damaged floating structures and the associated practical implications and applications within a regulated environment. This is a unit pivotal to an adequate knowledge within a maritime engineering degree. The unit enables determination of responses of any floating structure to...

This unit provides an in-depth journey into neuroscience, with a particular focus on cellular and systems neuroscience: how neurons work together to create functional circuits. Learning material will cover the structure and function of the nervous system in the context of sensory processing, motor control, learning and memory and disease. Neuroscience builds on a basic familiarity with cell...

This unit extends the students' knowledge and experience of programming. It introduces dynamic data structures, foundational collection abstract data types, and computational algorithms and techniques. Programming is undertaken in Python and Java and topics include: references, memory management, self-referential data structures, abstract data types and their implementation, and an introduction...

Derivatives or derivative securities are (as the name suggests) derived from other securities. Derivatives are used for a number of purposes, including insuring against price movements (hedging), increasing one’s exposure to price movements (speculation) or getting access to an otherwise hard-to-trade asset or market (market completion). The unit is comprised of three main modules: Options,...

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms- how they work and their role in our world. Microorganisms encompass huge diversity and include bacteria, viruses, fungi and single-celled animals and algae. Although not visible to the naked eye, microorganisms have a profound effect on our world. They are fundamental to the basic nutrient and biogeochemical cycles that underpin life on Earth; they...

Collaborative work is integral to working in and with the creative and cultural industries. This unit encourages you to take supported creative risks and introduces you to work-integrated learning methods and practices. Over the course of the semester, you will be introduced to interdisciplinary approaches for devising and refining creative work, and best practices for working in a team...
