SCENV2100 Australian Fauna
Students investigate the key vertebrate taxa of Australia, as well as a broad coverage of the invertebrate fauna. There is an emphasis on describing the distinct features, life history characteristics and ecology of the major taxa. Through lab-based exercises and field-based studies, students apply and demonstrate their developing knowledge and skills to identify, classify and investigate the ecology of Australia fauna. The knowldege gained is collated and evaluated to construct pieces of scientific writing that are typically used by industry and government agencies.
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.
