Astrophysics is the investigation of the Universe. It enables us to study the behaviour of matter in extreme environments that cannot be replicated on Earth. In this unit you will study the solar system, stars, stellar evolution, collapsed objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes, galactic structure, galaxies, active galactic nuclei, galaxy clusters, and the cosmic background...

This third year, second-semester unit covers some of the fundamental abstract structures, processes and relationships that underpin all of mathematics. The first half of the unit focuses on the central role groups play in modern algebra together with their application to the understanding of structure and symmetry in various scientific contexts. In the second half of the unit, we introduce the...

In this unit we will explore recent advances in immunology and microbiology. We will investigate how the immune system can prevent disease through a molecular battle with infectious agents and how the immune system can contribute to disease with a focus on the damaging nature of inflammation. The workshops in this unit will provide the opportunity to develop research and communication skills...

This unit is centred on the significant role of multimodal texts in children’s lives. It will incorporate studies of how text, images, sound, gesture, movement, and space work together to shape narrative. Multimodal texts will include picturebooks, graphic novels, television, film, theatre, computer games, and digital worlds.  During the unit you will explore materials developed by the...

The Probationary Assessment Portfolio [PAP] is a practical demonstration of theoretical learnings taught during the residential component of the recruit training course. The PAP involves 70+ tasks that illustrate a police officers’ ability to put into practice the knowledge of legislation/policy/learnings, previously explored in the university units and at the police academy during the recruit...

Management accounting is an essential unit for students studying the Accounting major in the Bachelor of Business. Students will apply techniques to support management decision-making in respect of product costing, variance analysis, inventory management, budgeting and forecasting. The unit emphasises the application of quantitative and qualitative techniques to analyse cost behaviour. Students...

This unit offers a systematic approach to understanding psychological assessment and measurement. Consideration is given to a range of psychological assessment strategies and how these can be applied across a range of contexts . This unit is designed to provide you with foundational skills and knowledge relevant to research and pre-professional training. Throughout the unit, you will develop...

KRA300, Environmental Monitoring & Remediation utilises the diversity of examples of environmental chemistry in natural, urban and industrial environments within Tasmania to develop an understanding of the sources and fate of chemical contaminants in the environment, and an understanding of the technologies and management options that can be utilised to minimise, contain, remediate and recycle...

This unit gives an overview of some of the key ideas and concepts that underpin modern applied mathematics. There are three distinct elements that will be covered: (i) an introduction to complex analysis, in which we discuss the important theories and some applications particularly to fluid mechanics and transform methods; this leads on to (ii) transform methods and their use in solving problems,...
