SCCOR1200 Scientific Communication
Scientific Communication provides students with an opportunity to develop essential communication skills through a range of carefully scaffolded authentic science communication tasks. Throughout this unit students will have multiple opportunities to develop both their written and oral communication skills and will learn how to present complex scientific ideas to a range of diverse audiences. After successfully completing this unit, students will be able to use scientific reporting and grammatical conventions; record and present scientific information in an appropriate format; interpret and explain experimental data; search the literature to locate relevant, credible sources of scientific information; cite and reference appropriately; construct reference lists and bibliographies; prepare and deliver written and oral reports; detect and avoid plagiarism.
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: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* 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.
