Many common practical procedures will be covered with students required to be able to link their practical skill development with the underlying theoretical framework. Students will develop both a practical awareness and intellectual understanding of which techniques to apply to address a wide range of scientific questions. Analysis and communication of research data is a fundamental requirement of any scientist, in this unit students will be required to demonstrate their grasp of these abilities through interpretation and reporting of data they have generated.

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 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.

Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
