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) 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.
