MJD-PHYSC Physics and the new unit proposal PHYS3004 Advanced Quantum Mechanics had been considered at a previous meeting of the Curriculum Committee.At the previous meeting members had raised concerns that the proposed unit sequence for the major in Physics might not allow students to meet accreditation requirements relating to mathematics, and might not allow students who commenced study mid-year to complete the course within three years. Concerns were also raised about the assessment structure and outcome wording of PHYS3004 Advanced Quantum Mechanics.Members noted that the above concerns had now been addressed; therefore members were asked to re-consider these proposals for approval.RESOLVED – 77/18to approve the proposed changes to MJD-PHYSC Physics, and associated new unit proposal: PHYS3004, as set out in the attachments, effective from 2019.CHANGES TO POSTGRADUATE CURRICULUM From 2019Planned annual changes to postgraduate curriculum might occur at the unit level and/or postgraduate course level and would need to take place, where relevant, in line with the University Policy on: Changes to Units and Courses – Postgraduate Coursework. To this end, the Committee were asked to consider the following change proposals:Faculty of Arts, Business, Law and EducationLaw SchoolTRIMCurriculum itemChange summaryF5067520550 Master of Mining and Energy Law (coursework)Change to admission rules F5591721530 Master of Law, Policy and Government (coursework)Change to course structureMembers noted that 21530 Master of Law, Policy and Government was not currently not compliant with the university’s policy on Courses - Postgraduate Coursework 2.1.6, as this course did not have 2 core units which were unique (i.e. not offered as core in any other course).Members noted that the Law School was currently undertaking a review of their course offerings, and were considering a proposal for this course to be incorporated into 42580 Master of Public Policy as a new specialisation from 2020. This would remove the concern of non-compliancy. In addition as this was not possible to do this as part of Annual Change 2019, the Law School requested that the proposed Annual Changes, which did not affect the course’s uniqueness, be considered for approval by the Curriculum Committee. In turn, the Faculty would address the question of uniqueness in 2020.RESOLVED – 78/18to approve:the proposed changes to 20550 Master of Mining and Energy Law (coursework);the proposed changes to 21530 Master of Law, Policy and Government (coursework)to be effective from 2019, as set out in the agenda attachments.School of Social SciencesTRIMCurriculum itemChange summaryF56983F56985F56984F18/2066F18/2160F41406F76697F76696 12540 Master of Strategic Communication12340 Graduate Diploma in Strategic Communication12240 Graduate Certificate in Strategic Communication COMM5104 Public Communication WILG5003 Professional Development PracticumCOMM4104 Public CommunicationSOCS5103 Social Sciences Professional Placement 3SOCS5104 Social Sciences Professional Placement 4Change to course structureChange to AQF outcomesChange to “about this course” Change to course duration2 new units3 rescinded unitsRESOLVED – 79/18to approve:the proposed changes to 12540 Master of Strategic Communication, 12340 Graduate Diploma in Strategic Communication, and 12240 Graduate Certificate in Strategic Communication, and the associated 2 new unit proposals (COMM5104 and WILG5003);the rescission of the 3 associated units: COMM4104, SOCS5103, and SOCS5104;to be effective from 2019, as set out in the agenda attachments.School of DesignTRIMCurriculum itemChange summaryF15000F1500125210 Graduate Certificate in Urban Design25310 Graduate Diploma in Urban DesignChange to AQF outcomesChange to articulations RESOLVED – 80/18to approve the proposed changes to 25210 Graduate Certificate in Urban Design and 25310 Graduate Diploma in Urban Design, to be effective from 2019, as set out in the agenda attachments.School of Humanities TRIMCurriculum itemChange summaryF35119F73302F18/2583F18/1317F18/1318F18/1319F18/1320F18/1488F18/1489F18/1490F18/148712520 Master of Translation Studies (coursework or coursework and dissertation) 12220 Graduate Certificate in Translation StudiesTRNS5022 Translation Studies Dissertation 3TRNS5208 Specialised Translation – Indonesian 1TRNS5209 Specialised Translation – Indonesian 2TRNS5308 Specialised Translation – Japanese 1TRNS5309 Specialised Translation – Japanese 2TRNS5408 Specialised Translation – Korean 1TRNS5409 Specialised Translation – Korean 2TRNS5018 Specialised Translation – Spanish 1TRNS5019 Specialised Translation – Spanish 2Changes to course structureChanges to volume of learningChanges to admission rulesChanges to accreditationChanges to AQF outcomes9 new unitsF51943 F51944TRNS5020 Translation Studies Dissertation 1TRNS5021 Translation Studies Dissertation 2Change to point valueChange to contentRESOLVED – 81/18to approve:the proposed changes to 12520 Master of Translation Studies (coursework or coursework and dissertation) and 12220 Graduate Certificate in Translation Studies;the 9 associated new units: TRNS5022, TRNS5208, TRNS5209, TRNS5308, TRNS5309, TRNS5408, TRNS5409, TRNS5018, TRNS5019; the changes to the 2 associated units, TRNS5020 and TRNS5021; to be effective from 2019, as set out in the agenda attachments.Business School TRIMCurriculum itemChange summaryF5728642560 Master of Applied Finance (coursework)Change to course structureRESOLVED – 82/18to approve the proposed changes to 42560 Master of Applied Finance (coursework); to be effective from 2019, as set out in the agenda attachments.Graduate School of Education TRIMCurriculum itemChange summaryF7053400500 Master of Studies Change to course structure F80377F18/2174F18/217332550 Master of Teaching – Secondary (coursework)EDUC5535 Professional Practice A SecondaryEDUC5536 Professional Practice B SecondaryChange to “about this course”Change to course structureChange to accreditation2 new unitsMembers noted that the newly proposed unit EDUC5535 Professional Practice A Secondary was a six-point unit, yet had a large number of outcomes due to the requirements of the accrediting body, the TeacherRegistration Board of Western Australia (TRBWA).Accreditation requirements had also influenced the wording of double-barrelled outcomes such as “plan and implement”, in this unit and in EDUC5536 Professional Practice B Secondary, as the TRBWA recognises these as distinct skills. The Graduate School of Education would review outcomes of all units as part of upcoming accreditation renewals, and at this time might be able to reduce the number of outcomes and edit the wording.RESOLVED – 83/18to approve:the proposed changes to 00500 Master of Studies;the proposed changes to 32550 Master of Teaching – Secondary (coursework) and the associated 2 new unit proposals, EDUC5535 and EDUC5536; to be effective from 2019, as set out in the agenda attachments.Faculty of Engineering and Mathematical SciencesTRIMCurriculum itemChange summaryF7901662530 Master of Data Science (coursework or coursework and dissertation)Change to course structureF15003F18/257362510 Master of Information Technology (coursework)CITS5200 Professional ComputingChange to course structureChange to accreditation1 new unitRESOLVED – 84/18to approve:the proposed changes to 62530 Master of Data Science;the proposed changes to 62510 Master of Information Technology and associated 1 new unit proposal, CITS5200; to be effective from 2019, as set out in the agenda attachments.Faculty of Health and Medical SciencesTRIMCurriculum itemChange summaryF27502F18/1764F18/1765F18/1768F18/1769F18/1772F18/1773F18/1766F18/1767F18/1770F18/1774F18/1776F18/1775F18/177790840 Doctor of Clinical DentistryDENT6901 Dento-maxillofacial Radiology Theory I Part 1DENT6902 Dento-maxillofacial Radiology Theory I Part 2 DENT6903 Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology Theory II (Part 1) DENT6904 Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology Theory II (Part 2) DENT6905 Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology Theory III (Part 1)DENT6906 Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology Theory III (Part 2)DENT6907 Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology Clinical Practice I Part 1 DENT6908 Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology Clinical Practice I Part 2DENT6909 Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology Clinical Practice II (Part 1) DENT6910 Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology Clinical Practice II (Part 2) DENT6911 Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology Clinical Practice III (Part 1) DENT6912 Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology Clinical Practice III (Part 2) DENT6913 Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology Research DissertationIntroduction of a new specialisation Change to course structureChange to AQF outcomesChange to “about this course”Change to handbook notesChange to admission rules13 new unitsRESOLVED – 85/18to approve the proposed changes to 90840 Doctor of Clinical Dentistry and the associated 13 new units: DENT6901, DENT6902, DENT6903, DENT6904, DENT6905, DENT6906, DENT6907, DENT6908, DENT6909, DENT6910, DENT6911, DENT6912, and DENT6913, to be effective from 2019, as set out in the agenda attachments.Faculty of ScienceTRIMCurriculum itemChange summaryF2436151210 Graduate Certificate in Adult Sleep ScienceChange to admission rulesF5891270230 Graduate Certificate in Autism DiagnosisChange to about this courseChange to admission rulesF3280752320 Graduate Diploma in Sleep ScienceChange to admission rulesF5891071530 Master of Biological Arts (coursework and dissertation)Change to course structureChange to admission rulesF5890871520 Master of Biomedical Science (coursework orcoursework and dissertation)Change to course structureChange to admission rulesF35154F18/189072540 Master of Hydrogeology (coursework or coursework and dissertation)GEOS5023 Hydrogeology Field ExcursionChange to course structureChange to admission rules Change to requirements to be granted credit for conversion1 new unitRESOLVED – 86/18to approve the proposed changes to:51210 Graduate Certificate in Adult Sleep Science;70230 Graduate Certificate in Autism Diagnosis;52320 Graduate Diploma in Sleep Science;71530 Master of Biological Arts (coursework and dissertation);71520 Master of Biomedical Science (coursework or coursework and dissertation);72540 Master of Hydrogeology (coursework or coursework and dissertation) and associated 1 new unit proposal, GEOS5023;to be effective from 2019, as set out in the agenda attachments.NEW POSTGRADUATE UNIT From 2019TRIMCurriculum itemF73121PHCY5002 UWA-ZJU Pharmacy Research ProjectRESOLVED – 87/18to approve the new unit proposal PHCY5002 UWA-ZJU Pharmacy Research Project, to be effective from 2019, as set out in the agenda attachments.new postgraduate curriculum proposals from 2019Members were asked to consider the Phase 2 detailed proposal for the offering of the following new course.
