LITCR2103 Writing for Children and Young Adults
This course will give students the opportunity to develop further as a creative writer with a specific focus on children¿s literature and educational writing for particular age cohorts. Students in this course will be actively engaged in exploring opportunities in a range of `children and young adult writing¿ (CYA) industry settings. This will include workshops with practising writers, editors and publishers in this field, involvement in industry and community literary events such as festivals and public readings, and participating in K-12 school-based activities. Students will also be supported to develop a `pitch¿ to a potential publisher as part of their writing output for the semester.
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.
