Community and Bush Environments | Federation University

OEEDU2300 Community and Bush Environments

Students explore the value of effective communities in outdoor education through bush environments. Students develop a connection to the outdoors and necessary skills for safe and effective participation in outdoor environmental education and critically reflect on their experiences through analysing the related literature. Students participate in a 3 day practical experience incorporating theory developed in class, including: communities in outdoor environmental education, sustainability in bush environments, safety, travel and outdoor living skills. To increase competence, confidence and understanding of communities and bush environments, students plan and undertake a second 3 day practical experience in small peer groups, and evaluate that experience to further develop their appreciation of these concepts in outdoor environmental education.

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* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ 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.
