From 2012, UWA will offer undergraduate students a choice of five new degrees. These will replace our existing undergraduate courses but a broad range of disciplines (subjects) will continue to be offered within them. The new courses are designed to provide you with the opportunity to study a broader range of subjects, develop valuable skills in communication and research, and have time to work out what you are passionate about before making decisions about study pathways and careers. The new degrees are:
- Bachelor of Arts
- Bachelor of Commerce
- Bachelor of Design
- Bachelor of Science
- Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours)
What about the professional degrees?
Part of the changes to course structures at UWA is that the degrees leading to professional qualifications such as architecture, dentistry and engineering will be offered at postgraduate level. That means you will need to complete one of the five undergraduate (Bachelor) degrees listed above (or equivalent qualification from another university) before applying to prepare for one of the professions through a postgraduate course (Masters or Doctorate).
What does this mean for me?
There are a number of important reasons why UWA has decided to change the way its courses are structured. Here are some of the issues you might be facing as a prospective student and how the new courses will make a difference to you, first as a student, and then as a graduate - ready for success in a global workplace.
