Preparing for Professional Experience

BUGEN1525 Preparing for Professional Experience

In this course, students will start to consider and plan for their future area of employment in their chosen field. Students will explore the notion that being a professional is not only about being competent and skilful, but also acting ethically. They also learn important professional skills in communication and working as part of a team. Students will be introduced to reflective writing and be asked to complete a reflective journal. Students will also learn about the workplace learning requirements of their specific course of study. On completion, students will have a broad and coherent understanding of what it means to be a professional and will start to take responsibility for the transition to becoming a professional in their chosen field.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $2,175
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $1,703

^ 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.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

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.
