ATSGC1370 Knowledge and Professionals
Graduate professionals enter a workforce that is increasingly focused on the needs of a knowledge society and economy. As future participants in a variety of professions, they will be required to evaluate and use knowledge on a daily basis. Some will go on to contribute to the creation of new knowledge in their professional fields. This course contextualises the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values required to be successful university students in the post-tertiary professional workplace. To become successful graduate professionals, students need to understand the fundamentals of a society shaped through knowledge; its historical precedents and its possible futures. This course examines the role of knowledge experts in disciplinary fields and professions, the creation of new knowledge, the function and processes of knowledge communication, as well as the intended - and unintended - consequences of the use of knowledge. The importance of a personal and professional evaluation of knowledge is emphasised as central to the development of responsible citizens in an increasingly global knowledge economy and society.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
