HENAE2003 Advanced Understanding of Western Academic Culture
The purpose of this course is to assist students to understand the linguistic and academic conventions needed to produce academic work relevant to Australian higher education courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. It does this by extending students¿ understanding of the linguistic and cultural factors that underlie academic English discourse, specifically through an examination of a range of academic discourses in a variety of academic disciplines. This course provides extended practice in the application of knowledge and skills using authentic higher education texts. The focus of this course is on analysis and production of academic texts, argument evaluation, independent research, and experience in lecture and tutorial environments.
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.
