ITECH1501 User centred design
User Centred Design introduces students to the fundamental techniques and strategies involved with design thinking and problem solving, with an emphasis on analysing and resolving IT problems in particular. Students are expected to develop a sound methodological approach to problem solving that will equip them to propose, develop, implement, and evaluate solutions to problems fundamental to the IT industry, aligned with the activities undertaken by Service Designers and other IT occupations. Key to this process is developing confidence, resilience and perseverance in team-based environments and basic IT modelling.
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).
2025 contribution amount* $1,164
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $1,164
Grandfathered contribution amount - 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 Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 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.
