BATCC1002 Ways of Reading and Seeing

In our media-dominated world, we are constantly reading, viewing, and interpreting the world through the lens of print, literary, digital and screen media. These media provide the images, stories, and soundtracks to our lives. We read or view for many reasons, including entertainment, information, and social participation. Reading and viewing can also have a considerable influence on shaping our view of the world, and our responses to texts can be critical, aesthetic, or affective. This unit functions as an introduction to the disciplines of literature and media and screen studies. It introduces students to ways of reading and viewing literary, media and screen texts critically and with the skills to understand how their meanings are produced. Students will learn basic concepts of textual analysis and key features of literary and screen media, as well as developing an understanding of the role of readers and viewers in constructing textual meaning.

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: $578


2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578

* 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.

Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 

For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands, the student contribution amount is determined by the accredited course. Visit our CSP page for further information, including a list of accredited courses. Students not studying in an accredited course will pay the fees listed above. 

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website
