SOCIN2200 Community Engagement: Organisational Knowledge and Skills in Public Advocacy
"This course focuses on activism and advocacy around sustainability in regional community settings. Students are encouraged to do three things: 1) Consider policy and social action responses by community groups, civic organisations, social movements and NGOs campaigning to challenges of sustainability. 2) Examine models of sustainability advocated by groups, social movements, civic organisations and NGOs operating in community settings. 3) Learn from insiders, while critically evaluating their strategies, modes of decision-making and practices. As such, the course aims to engage students in highly reflexive inquiry in acquiring knowledge from community advocates. Workshops in organisational approaches, strategies and tactics will offer opportunities to develop interpersonal skills in community contexts. "
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: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* 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.
