a truly multicultural learning environment, we have helped to shape the lives of more than 10,000 graduates from 108
nations, who are now making their mark in the global workplace.
A pioneer in the field of education, UOWD was the first international campus to be established in Dubai, and 25 years on,
this spirit of innovation continues to define everything we do. This means that pursuing your higher education at UOWD
is not only a valuable investment in your future; it is a truly life-changing experience.
UOWD established an outstanding record for educating highly employable graduates over the last 24 years and gained
an international reputation for the quality of our educational practices.
With more than 3,600 students representing 108 nationalities being taught by academics from more than 40 countries,

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
We have combined the academic excellence of Australia’s 12th highest-ranking university with the culture and

research practitioners and business professionals alike. At the same time, we are active contributors to the burgeoning
knowledge economy of the UAE.
Our student-centred approach to learning ensures that our graduates go out into the world armed with much more than
technical knowledge and an outstanding educational experience. They also have professional skills in research, analysis,
entrepreneurship, problem solving and communication. This sets them apart from their peers across other institutions
and explains why so many of our graduates now have senior, responsible and exciting positions in a range of prestigious
organisations, both in the UAE and around the world.
Since our inception, we have built a reputation for quality, credibility and integrity, and the University is held in high
regard by its students, alumni, business, industry and government. We maintain a long and proud tradition of excellence
in education combined with liberal values of enquiry, and continuously strives to provide a fertile environment for bright
young minds to flourish, where critical thinking is both encouraged and nurtured; qualities that characterise great

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
ENROLMENT POLICIES
ENROLMENT AND REGISTRATION
Consistent and transparent procedures are detailed to enable the effective management of student enrolment at
UOWD. During prescribed periods in each year, a student shall enrol in a program in accordance with requirements of
the enrolment Policy and pay any required charges. Students are expected to maintain the accuracy of their enrolment
details, using approved forms of communication with the University, as directed in the appropriate documented
procedure. Further details are available in the UOWD Enrolment policy.
VARIATION TO ENROLMENT
For reasons beyond their control, students are sometimes unable to enrol or withdraw during the period specified (see
Academic Calendar for dates), and may apply for permission for late enrolment or late withdrawal of subjects. The
Registrar, in conjunction with the relevant School Heads/Dean will consider all applications and with their discretion
either approve or refuse the request.
The Enrolment Policy outlines information related to enrolments and withdrawals in subjects as well as enrolments
related to course transfers within the University.
CROSS-INSTITUTIONAL STUDY
The University, in very special cases and after presentation of substantial evidence by students, may approve the
completion of a subject in another University if it is not offered at UOWD in that trimester and delays graduation. 300 &
400 level subjects, thesis, projects and capstone subjects are not permitted for cross institutional study. The details for
this provision of study can be availed by referring to the Admissions Policy in the Policies section on the MyUOWD
website.
COURSE LOAD (STANDARD AND RESTRICTED)

The standard course load for a student on a course status of ‘Active’ is four subjects per trimester for Undergraduate
courses and three subjects per trimester for Postgraduate courses. Summer is optional and has a reduced course load.
Undergraduate students on a course of ‘Restricted’ are permitted to enrol in a maximum of three subjects per trimester
in Autumn/Winter/Spring and two subjects in Summer and Postgraduate students on a course status of ‘Restricted’ are
permitted to enrol in a maximum of two subjects per trimester in Autumn/Winter/Spring and one subject in Summer.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Students may take a Leave of Absence (LoA) for up to one year provided that they apply (using the Leave of Absence
Application form) before the end of the fourth week of the first session for which leave is sought. Students who do not
immediately return (i.e. enrol for the immediate trimester) after the completion of their LoA, will need to meet the
University Entry Requirements upon returning to the University to continue their studies. The student would also be
liable to pay the fees applicable at that time.

TRANSFER TO UOW AUSTRALIA
UOWD offers its current students the opportunity to transfer part of their course to UOW Australia with a minimum of
four subjects remaining. Students who have commenced a program at UOWD may transfer to UOW Australia with credit
for relevant subjects provided certain eligibility criteria have been met and corresponding programs are available. Those
interested in transferring may contact the Registrar’s Department for more details on the process.
STUDENT ASSESSMENT
GRADING SYSTEM
The approved grades of performance and associated ranges of marks for Undergraduate & Postgraduate subjects are:
High Distinction (HD) 85 to 100%

Distinction (D) 75 to 84%
Credit (C) 65 to 74%
Pass (P) 50 to 64%
Pass Supplementary (PS) 50%
Fail (F) 0 to 49%
Technical Fail (TF)
Range and Grades for Honours

Class II, Division 2 67.5 to 72.5%
Class III 62.5 to 67.5%
*Honours not awarded for less than 62.5%
In order to pass a subject, students must pass the Final Examination as per the Subject Outline. This is irrespective of the
student's other marks during the session. Students who obtain a composite (aggregate) mark of greater than 50% but
do not satisfy the Final Examination pass requirements will be awarded a ‘Technical Fail’ grade.
Students must also complete all of the other assessment tasks (other than the Final Examination) in order to pass the
subject. Completion of an assessment task will be determined based on the instructions given to the student including:
word length, demonstration of research and analysis where required, the Plagiarism Policy, and completion of each
section/component of the assessment. Failure to complete any assessment tasks to the standard specified above will
result in a Fail grade awarded for the subject.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Students are required to attend all lectures, tutorials, seminars and practical work as stipulated in subject outlines for
subjects in which they are enrolled. The University reserves the right to check the student’s academic results and class
attendance. Students are required to attend a minimum of 75% of all tutorials and labs from the date of enrolment,
except where an excused absence is approved by the tutor or lecturer or late enrolment has occurred. Further details
are available in the Student Attendance policy.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
Under exceptional circumstances, such as the student suffering from SERIOUS illness or other circumstances beyond
his/her control, the student may apply for special consideration, including supplementary assessment for internal
continuous assessment tasks. Students must provide all of the required information to support their application
(including, but not limited to, a medical certificate, medical records, and a specific report from the doctor, as per the
requirements of the Special Consideration policy).
Special consideration requests for assessments during the session (e.g. assignments, tests, quizzes, etc.) must be
submitted to the lecturer within 5 working days from the due date. Special consideration requests for Final Exams must
be submitted to the School Office by completing the relevant form and attaching evidence, within 5 working days from
the Final Exam date. Students who miss the Final Exam and are given permission under the Special Consideration Policy
to sit for a Supplementary Final Exam should note that they may miss enrolment, graduation and other deadlines which
are set based on the regular Final Exam dates.
Please note that applying for special consideration does not automatically mean that the request will be granted. Special
consideration will only be approved in the case of SERIOUS illness or exceptional circumstances. Medical certificates
must provide detailed information about the illness (and be supported by additional evidence, if applicable). Previous
requests for special consideration by the student are also taken into consideration when deciding about the request
outcome.
If a student’s supplementary Final Exam request is approved, he/she must be available to sit for the exam on the specified
date. No alternative arrangements will be made. The student is also required to pay the supplementary Final Exam fee
prior to taking the exam.
The Special Consideration policy is summarized in subject outlines and available on the Policies section of the MyUOWD
website.
DEANS MERIT LIST

The Dean’s Merit List is compiled annually within each School by the School Heads/Deans. Undergraduate students who
have completed a minimum of 24 credit points in the calendar year and obtained a minimum WAM of a Distinction who
are within the top 5% of undergraduate students will be eligible for inclusion in the Dean’s Merit List.. Students who
achieve this standard are awarded a Certificate of Recognition and have a permanent notation added to his/her records
and transcripts. This award is undertaken automatically; it is not necessary to apply for this award.
STUDENT PROGRESSION
ACADEMIC STANDING
In accordance with the Minimum Rate of Progress (MRP) policy, a student enrolled in an undergraduate program is
required to maintain a minimum rate of academic progress. Where a student fails to meet the MRP requirements in the
first instance, he/she will be placed on ‘Referral’ status. A student on ‘Referral’ who fails to meet the minimum rate of
progress in the subsequent session will be placed on ‘Restricted’. Finally, a student on ‘Restricted’ who fails to meet the
MRP in the subsequent session will be excluded from UOWD. For full details regarding the minimum rate of progress as
specified in the Minimum Rate of Progress policy, please refer to the Policies section on the MyUOWD website.

COURSE STATUS
The course status is determined by one of the following - the assessed minimum rate of progress (Active, Referral,
Restricted and Excluded), by non-enrolment due to leave of absence (LOA) requested, by suspension due to disciplinary
matters (Suspended) by leaving the University on request or by not meeting post enrolment conditions (Cancelled), or
due to non-payment of tuition fees (Cancelled).
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY
Students are responsible for submitting original work for assessments, without plagiarising or cheating, complying with
the University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
It is essential to give appropriate credit to authors for their ideas. Failure to give credit within the established
procedures is called plagiarism. Whether plagiarism is deliberate or unintentional, UOWD will impose penalties, which
can be very severe, and even include expulsion from the University.
The use of information provided on websites established for the purpose of providing assessment task solutions can
constitute a breach of the Academic Integrity Policy. Similarly, the provision of information to such sites can be
regarded as aiding others to commit plagiarism. Requesting information about assessment solutions from current or
previously enrolled students may also be interpreted as intent to commit plagiarism. All such activities should be
avoided as they potentially represent student academic misconduct and hence may incur a penalty. Re-using any of
the students’ own work (either in part or in full) which was submitted previously for assessment is not permitted
without appropriate acknowledgement.
All students will be required to submit assignments to a service system called TurnItIn to evaluate and educate students
on the importance of correct citations and referencing techniques in addition to identifying if students have copied or
reused the work of others. Each subject outline will also have details on the same. New undergraduate students will
be required to attend the StartSmart quiz which is part of the Library orientation. Postgraduate students are highly
encouraged to complete this quiz for the betterment of their knowledge and understanding.
To understand more about the same, students must enrol in the SASS workshops to learn about avoiding plagiarism
and managing academic integrity.

the government of the United Arab Emirates, the University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD) commits to the
appropriate use of copyrighted materials in support of its teaching, research, administrative and service functions. The

standards, business practise and code of conduct. All UOWD staff and students must ensure that they understand and
comply with the legal restrictions and obligations regarding the use of third-party copyright materials. The Copyright

policy at UOWD establishes standards of conduct in relation to copyright guidelines and information and the provision
of the same.

procedures and other requirements which specify acceptable and unacceptable student conduct, and the management
of alleged student misconduct.
DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE
Every student bears responsibility for his or her misconduct, regardless of whether the misconduct takes place in a
group setting or as a member or a group. A disciplinary committee has been established by the University to ensure a
fair and orderly proceeding on questions of possible student misconduct. The Student Conduct Rules define the
different levels of misconduct. The Terms of Reference of the committee, including the members of the Disciplinary
Committee, can be found on the policies page of https://my.uowdubai.ac.ae/

and non-academic services provided by the University. Some of the surveys are:
- Student Experience Survey
This survey is conducted each year for students to reflect upon their experiences in UOWD, both academic and non-
academic.
- Lecturer and Subject evaluations

Held at the end of every trimester, the students are asked to evaluate each of their lecturers, tutors and subjects. These
evaluations are conducted as a mechanism to improve and maintain the quality of subjects, lecturers and the degree
program offered. Feedback is reviewed by respective subject lecturers in conjunction with the Dean of their Faculty.
The feedback is then used in planning and improving the content of the subject and also the lecturer performance and
preparation.
Matters relating to academic procedures are addressed through the Academic Grievance Procedure
For any comments and/or suggestions on student feedback systems please contact the Office of Institutional Research
(OIR).

Today, increasingly communicators need to be aware of the language they use and how this can impact on people, be it
social media users, or people working in other, more traditional, media platforms, including print and broadcast. This is
the ethical dimension and it can manifest itself when we are considering the language we employ to talk about people
with disabilities, particular racial, ethnic or religious groups, or other groups within society. Ethical issues arise whenever
we choose photographs or video images to splice into our stories or even private conversations. As professional
communicators we need to be aware of the damage that a wrong or misguided decision can have on a person’s
reputation or mental well-being. In this subject you will be equipped with the tools required to address these and other
questions you may confront while working in a position that involves communicating with people.

NMHIH
NMIH102 Patterns of Knowing in Nursing

Four fundamental patterns of knowing in nursing have been identified in the literature as the structure of nursing
knowledge empirical (science), personal (intuitive & experiential), aesthetic (art) and ethical knowledge. It is imperative
that students of nursing are able to discern sources of knowledge and ways of knowing. Therefore the ways of knowing
will be introduced to enable the student to explore how knowledge and knowing contributes to nursing practice. To

introduce the student to the five fundamental patterns of knowing in nursing: empirical (science); personal (intuitive &
experiential); aesthetic (art) and ethical knowledge.
NMIH105 Primary Health Care Nursing

The World Health Organisation’s (WHO) ‘Global strategy for health for all by the year 2000’ (WHO, 1981) and the revised
strategy ‘Health21: Health for all in the 21st century’ (WHO, 1998) has identified a science-based guide to better health
development and outlined a process that will lead to progressive improvement in people's health. As the population
increases and healthcare demands burgeon, government strategies such as Emirates Vision 2021 are committed to
continuing improvements in healthcare services throughout the emirates. Improving the health and well-being of all
residents is a key objective of this Government's health portfolio and national research agenda. It is therefore imperative
that the students of nursing are introduced to health promotion, health education and primary care nursing. To introduce
the student to the factors that facilitate and inhibit the process of health promotion, health education and community
development and the nurse’s role in preventative and primary care nursing.
NMIH108 Introduction to Health Behaviour Change

is to introduce the major areas of study in the science of psychology. The subject also introduces students to the theories
and strategies of health behaviour change at the levels of the individual, the group, the community, and the population;
and review the ethical and practical issues inherent in endeavouring to persuade people to change their health-related
behaviours.
NMIH204 Reflection and Practice

Students of health care practice need to develop the skills of personal and professional reflection. Facilitation of this skill
development will be through a structured process of critical thinking and logical argument. This subject builds on the
skills introduced earlier in the programme related to the identification, accessing and evaluation of clinically relevant
literature illuminated by exposure in workplace experience and in simulation. The subject also further develops the skills
of personal and professional reflection.
NMIH205 Cultural Competence in Health Care Practice

Countries are now becoming more culturally diverse; therefore the people who live in them have differing social, political
and economic backgrounds. Health care professionals need to understand and respond appropriately to the needs of
people from these diverse backgrounds and therefore demonstrate cultural competency. ‘Achieving cultural competence
in health care is everybody’s responsibility.’ (National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) 2006, p. 3). This
subject aims to provide the student with the opportunity to analyse culture and diversity in the context of Australian/UAE
and international health care.
NMIH206 Therapeutics in Nursing


There are many types of therapy used in the care and treatment of patients/clients, students of nursing need to
understand the role of the nurse in administering medications through the study of pharmacology. However, society in
general has become more aware of the use of alternative and complementary therapies in the amelioration of their
problems. It is important therefore for the nurse to understand the ethos underpinning alternative and complementary
therapies and how these can and should be expanded into patient/client care. The subject also aims to enable the student
to study pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and to consider the use of alternative and complementary therapeutic
interventions in the care of patients/clients.
NMIH303 Therapeutic Use of Self

In the process of communication, we are required to deal with the emotions, thoughts and actions of firstly ourselves
and secondly people around us. Those we deal with in the health system are better served by clinicians who are aware
of their own values and beliefs and who are willing to challenge and question those beliefs. However, for specific goal
orientated and therapeutic communications in the professional context, our understanding is required to be more
intensive. This subject will enable students to develop a portfolio of skills to assist them in any generalist or specialist
clinical practice area. These skills will be developed through the use of simulation based on specific clinical situations. The
skills learnt in this subject are transferable to all areas of the health service and both underpin and complement
therapeutic communication skills. Students will have opportunities to further develop communication skills and to
analyse, understand and demonstrate the concept of the therapeutic use of self.
NMIH304 Evidence Appreciation and Application in Health Care Practice

A commitment to evidence based care is essential within health care practice, both for improved standards of care and
the development of curious and critical practitioners. In order to make their commitment to evidence utilisation a reality,
practitioners require not only insight into research methodologies but also the ability to critically analyse existing
research. Strategies for increasing research awareness, disseminating existing findings and applying research findings in
practice should also be clearly understood. The focus of this subject therefore, is the development of evidence
appreciation and application skills, not the production of research workers.
NMIH306 Challenges of Ageing

Aged care is a primary challenge for all health providers worldwide. It is observed that the demographic transition is still
progressing, as the mortality, the fertility rates are dropping causing the population to grow older, and the current public
facilities do not have the capacity to serve and to accommodate the existing elderly population. Current policies do not
include such issues although the pressure on the health and social setting is rising. Governments clearly identify the
primacy of aged care funding, the administration of funded aged care, and the obligations of approved providers of aged
care services. This subject seeks to explore the multiplicity of issues, challenges and support required to achieve the
governments’ aged care program aim to provide support for healthy ageing for elderly people and quality and cost-
effective care for frail older people and support for their careers. This subject will also enable students to consolidate
knowledge, skills and behaviours relating to aged care and consider the needs of older people who have challenges
associated with ageing.
NMIH307 Leadership in Health Care


Strategies for developing leadership attributes in the healthcare workforce are now evident in NSW Health initiatives:
Government Action Plan - Working As A Team, Capacity Building and Clinical Leadership Programme. Consequently, it is
imperative that students of health care study leadership to examine the knowledge; skills and behaviours involved in
leadership. To enable recognition of the significance of the leadership and followership attributes to the provision of
health and social care in a variety of settings.
NMIH319 Contemporary Research in Practice

The specific focus of this subject will be on putting that knowledge into practice and will also form an important building
block for future postgraduate and post-registration work and study. Individualised research topics will be selected in
conjunction with an academic mentor, who will work closely with them to guide them in developing their selected topic.
This subject will make use of electronic communication media available enabling students to enrol in this subject
regardless of their clinical location. Students will, in conjunction with a nursing academic, select a research topic related
to their speciality area, enter into a contract with their academic mentor to decide when and how meeting times will be
scheduled, developing of time lines, agreement on research topics, expectations expected and agreement on how to
document progress.

culminating in an 8,000 word research report. The work is expected to include an in-depth analysis of a significant issue,
period or actor in international relations.
MIR 917 Thesis in International Relations

Writing a thesis is the most traditional way of demonstrating intellectual depth and professional competence at the end
of a master's degree program. The thesis needs a clear theoretical framework and the methodological approach may be
qualitative, quantitative, or mixed. The topic and scope of the thesis must be agreed with the student's advisor and the
subject convenor before the student embarks on the thesis.
MIR 943 Globalisation and Citizenship

This subject examines contemporary citizenship as it’s being rethought and expanded as a result of the impact of
processes of globalisation. By charting and examining the emergence of the ‘standard’ Eurocentric understanding of
citizenship, we can begin to problematize citizenship from various angles. In gauging the dynamics of the ‘globalization’
phenomenon, we can then analyse the consequences of being ‘a citizen’ in contemporary world. Attention will be given
to the parameters of inclusion and exclusion as individuals negotiate the constricting boundaries of modern nation-state
membership while constructing their own unique forms of belonging. New ways of enacting citizenship, in practice and
in theory, emerge as possibilities beyond the confines of territorial limitations.
MIR 962 Theories in International Relations

This subject is an introduction to theories of international politics with an emphasis of the Middle East. It surveys the
major theories of international relations and some of the newer approaches before examining contemporary relations
between states, peoples, and non-state actors. Realism, liberalism, Marxism, and social constructivism are viewed in
terms of contemporary global politics.
MIR 963 Terrorism and Counterterrorism

This course examines terrorism as a contemporary phenomenon representing a major threat on the international security
agenda. The course will first analyse terrorism as a concept before giving some historical perspective on the emergence
and evolution of terrorism.
MIR 964 Gender and International Relations

become more aware of the gendered dimensions of any international issue.

MIR 965 Geopolitics of the Gulf
This class is a geopolitical analysis of the Gulf region, spanning the area from North Africa to the Indian Ocean and
encompassing the Northern neighbouring states of the Gulf and with the UAE at its centre. Although the class’s
transdisciplinary approach borrows from various disciplines (Political Geography, History, Anthropology, International
Relations and International Law, etc.), it will use the methodology of Geopolitics to examine the ways in which tensions
crystalise at different levels of analyses (local, regional and transnational). In line with the conventions of European
Geopolitics, emphasis will be placed on the geographical framework, demographics and actors’ mental constructs (how
local populations perceive the tensions of the area in which they live).
MIR 966 Transforming MENA

The modern Middle East is a diverse geographical and political constellation of societies that seem at once committed to
Euro American modernities, and yet resistant and reactionary to many of the deeper values that underlie these
modernities. This complexity might be explained by the legacy of ‘Islamic society’ in the region, the region’s political re-
organisation into 20th century nation-states, its inability to determine an entirely independent development given its
global geopolitical importance and its unevenly distributed natural resources. Thus, there seem to be differing types of
societies, some urban and ethnically and religiously heterogeneous, while others tribal and more obviously
homogeneous, and still others combining both. In order to understand social and cultural change, the impact of processes
of globalisation, issues about urbanism, class, youth, gender, and the nature of social movements and political space, one
needs a particular set of diagnostic tools. This course is concerned with the challenge to find such tools through history
and anthropology.
MMC
MMC 900 Internship

Students who are studying full time will typically do the internship, defined as 8-10 weeks of full time work at a company
or organisation performing duties that can be considered a practical application of what has been learnt during the
Master’s program. The student will be required to maintain a portfolio of work activities in which reports, including any
special assignments, are gathered. Interns are encouraged to be constantly reflecting on these reports in the context of
the placement, the organisation and the related academic discipline. The student will submit this portfolio at the end of
the internship, produce a final contextual essay and give a presentation about their experience to their classmates. The
supervisor(s) at the organisation will be asked to submit a letter evaluating the student’s performance on the job. An
unsatisfactory evaluation by the supervisor(s) means the student cannot earn credit for the internship.
MMC 901 Data Journalism: Research and Visualization

This subject provides students with the skills required to research and present major investigations. Data journalism is
one of the key buzzwords in Journalism at present, with Journalists combining strong research and investigative skills

Mediated spaces of the future will demand a creative workforce with the ability to critically evaluate new tools for specific
and unique communicative potential. This subject provides a fluency in both digital media-making applications and the
millennial-old concepts that guide imagery production. By exploring both traditional and emerging digital media, students
will not only learn to identify this potential but distil universal principles of aesthetics and design that can be applied to
new creative forms. What concepts guide the creation of traditional, time-based, and interactive imagery? What is the
function of the digital toolbox? Students explore a variety of tools for creative image making often in unexpected
combinations. Projects serve as departure points for the discovery and discussion of universal principles of aesthetics and
design. Special emphasis will be given to human factors of perception and interaction, as well as, the historical context
of imagery to communicate.
MMC 943 Social Media Network Culture

We click, share, rank and remix with a perverse indifference to technologies of capture. The design of devices and/or
media technology and its interfaciality are key to inviting users to participate. As a result, new media practices and forms
of contention between users and producers are established. We will examine a symbiotic yet problematic relation
between networks and social movements, and further develops the notion of organized networks. We will develop a
theoretical understanding of the development, significance and contemporary uses of social media. It fosters both critical
analysis and reflective practice in the networked digital media environment. You will critically engage with key ideas of
creativity, sharing and visibility in social media and will participate in creative and reflective practice using leading social
media tools and platforms. What is social about media? What are the implications of social media platforms for power,
the economy and politics? How meaningful is the notion of participatory culture for thinking about social media?
MMC 946 Technology, Presence & Perception

We click, share, rank and remix with a perverse indifference to technologies of capture. The design of devices and/or
media technology and its interfaciality are key to inviting users to participate. As a result, new media practices and forms
of contention between users and producers are established. We will examine a symbiotic yet problematic relation
between networks and social movements, and further develops the notion of organized networks. We will develop a
theoretical understanding of the development, significance and contemporary uses of social media. It fosters both critical
analysis and reflective practice in the networked digital media environment. You will critically engage with key ideas of

This subject will cover research methods and research design in the social sciences. It is divided into four parts: (1) the
goals of social science and elements of research design; (2) selection and application of different methodologies for
conducting research; (3) collection of primary and secondary data; and (4) analysis and synthesis of quantitative and
qualitative data in the research writing process. The ethical implications of social research will be considered throughout.
Social research is a craft, and like any other craft, it requires practice. Therefore, students will be required to put together
a research design in addition to engaging in class research workshops during the semester.
MMC 951 Advanced Design Studio

Design, design process and design outcomes are a vital part of the media world of today. Design is not only something
done by graphic designers, or artists, or architects. Design is a process and practice all people can benefit from, especially
those looking to become more efficient and effective communicators and media practitioners. This course focuses on a
process of design that leads to socially relevant and pragmatic outcomes and media artefacts. During their study, students
will practice and gain deeper understanding of universally applicable design principles and methods of ideation and
production. Emphasis is given on the practical application of design process to a real-world problem solving. The
outcomes will widen student’s knowledge in areas relevant to contemporary design practice.

and non-specialist audiences. In addition to demonstrating the skills and knowledge required to plan and execute a
substantial research-based project, capstone experience and/or piece of scholarship.
OPS

The subject highlights the growing importance of operations management to all types of businesses/industries.
Operations management is the science and art of ensuring that goods and services are created and delivered to
customers' expectations in full and on time. Additionally, it provides early insights into the content of the Master of
Science reviewing areas such as Supply Chain Management, Quality Management and Project Management. This subject
enhances students' fundamental knowledge and learning skills required to engage within Postgraduate learning
successfully. The subject also develops students' reflective skills and ability to analyse, consolidate and synthesise
complex information in problem solving and decision making.
OPS 908 Supply Chain Management


Increasing marketplace competitiveness driven by higher productivity levels, product variety proliferation, oversupply,
demanding customers and globalisation has ushered in the era of shape-up or get run over. End-to-end Supply Chain
Management holds the promise of effective response to such a business environment, but only if it is understood and
actually applied. This subject therefore places particular emphasis on the interfaces between the 'chain' or 'network' of
enterprises engaged in moving products, services, and information, from suppliers through intermediaries to end
users/consumers. The early part of the subject focuses on understanding the concepts and principles of supply chain
management. Specific supply chain management topics are then reviewed giving emphasis on topics such as customer
fulfilment strategies, process thinking, physical flow management, global supply chain design, cost management, alliances
and outsourcing and critical supply chain measures. Channel relationships between suppliers, manufacturers, and
distributors is also reviewed, particularly as leading organisations are now openly embracing more collaborative
behaviour for mutual benefit. Transformational change in supply chains is studied from two perspectives, i.e., re-
alignment inside the supply chain itself; and advanced forms of 'outsourcing'. Finally, people management and the
building of employee capabilities are considered as well as future supply chain innovation requirements.
OPS 909 Total Quality Management

The subject addresses quality management from a systems perspective. Students will discover the philosophy of modern
quality management systems deployed and embraced by companies and their wider supply chain. Additionally students
get to explore tools and techniques such as root cause analysis, process mapping and statistical process control to drive
quality management into businesses. The course is structured around the ISO9000 Quality Management framework in
order to assist student to apply quality management principles in their future careers.
OPS 910 Supply Chain Analytics

Todays business world is awash in data and increasingly data is replacing hard assets as the fulcrum for decision making.
Data analysis is required to be timely and providing forward-looking guidance that yields better, more-informed decisions.
Relying on traditional methods of managing the supply chain is becoming increasingly difficult, with a mix of global
operating systems, pricing pressures and ever increasing customer expectations. This subject equips students with
analytical tools and techniques to support forward-looking supply chain decision making. Data analytics is the science of
examining raw data to help draw conclusions about information. Students will be able to verify and enhance existing
operating models using quantitative techniques. The subject will cover decision analytics for supply chain problems such
as planning and resource allocation, transportation, rostering and scheduling, trend analysis and forecasting, trade-off
analysis, predictive modelling and systems optimisation.
OPS 911 Strategic Procurement Management

Procurement is increasingly being recognised as a fundamental enabler of business strategy and a preferred method for
achieving sustainable cost reduction. Controlling approximately 70-80% of all company expenditure, Procurement
functions are in a critical position to influence commercial and financial success. This subject looks at the expanded
responsibility of procurement and its integration with long-term strategic corporate planning. Topics include the
procurement of goods and services, strategic sourcing, supplier relationship management, inventory management, total
cost of ownership, negotiation planning, outsourcing and globalisation, supplier selection and evaluation, risk mitigation,
and e-procurement. Emerging procurement issues such as supplier innovation, sustainable procurement and ethical
supply chains are examined.

SMAH
SMAH915 Clinical Governance

Ensuring safety and providing quality care are fundamental principles used by health care professionals to guide and
structure practice. This subject provides an overview of emerging health policy with particular attention to clinical
governance. Clinical governance is one framework through which healthcare organisations are accountable for
continuously improving the quality of their services and safeguarding high standards of care. In analysing a clinical
governance framework, students will firstly consider healthcare design, analysis and improvement, error reporting and
investigation, public accountability and open disclosure. In addition, students will discuss and apply the tools needed for
healthcare improvement and examine the risks faced by health service managers and leaders. International approaches
to safety and quality in healthcare delivery are also discussed with an emphasis on error reduction and meeting national
quality and safety standards within health services settings.
SMAH917 Leading Change In Healthcare

The healthcare system of today is complex and often resistance to change. Good leadership is integral to change
management and leaders are needed to assist the workforce to build and lead change initiatives, access resources and
negotiate difficult systems. In addition, transformational leaders are critical to effectively dealing with barriers in order
to work creatively to implement innovation. This subject assists a student to explore the fundamental concepts and
modes related to change management so that they can understand and adapt health systems to achieve efficiency and
effectiveness. The subject focuses on national health reform and a range of service improvement approaches and tools
to implement change at national, state-wide and health care organisational level.
SMAH918 Emotional Intelligence


Leadership is an important function of heathcare leadership and management and crucial to attaining and sustaining
effective healthcare environments. Successful leaders have a good understanding of how their emotions and actions
affect others and are able to manage emotions in themselves and others to achieve positive outcomes. This subject
examines emotional intelligence theories, models and practices for effective healthcare leadership. It explores
emotionally intelligent strategies for leading and managing staff, individual and organisational change, and
responding to problems. The notion of managing an effective workforce including individuals and groups, following
Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence framework, is examined and applied to personal and professional contexts. The
subject will also focus on evidence-based leadership capacity development strategies and guide students through
the creation of a development plan.
SNPG
SNPG902 Effective Management in Health

This subject provides an introduction to management and leadership for new or emerging managers in health care. It
focuses on developing an awareness of each student’s strengths and abilities, and explores important aspects of
management in physical and human resources. This subject includes: Covey’s leadership theories; time management;
conflict theory; managing conflict; grievance procedures; culture; socialization; communication; change theories; change
in cultures; reality shock; individual responsibilities; management/leadership responsibilities; awareness of the
responsibilities of others; risk assessment; and risk management.
SNPG903 Developments in Nursing Care

SNPG903 Developments in Nursing Care explores the concepts of person-centred care, courage and caring within the
nursing profession. This subject focuses on caring as a nurse and encourages self-reflection in regard to individual
attributes in caring and the caring culture of health care environments. Participants are enabled to explore the historical,
social, and political underpinnings of nursing care within the cultural context of practice. Participants will be challenged
to explore their specialty area of nursing practice and consider this in the perspective of solution focused nursing,
empowering recipients of care to be the expert in their journey. The developments of nursing care and the impact this
has on the nursing workforce will be explored from a local, national and international perspective.
SNPG905 Minor Project

The main aim of this subject is to enable students to synthesise their learning throughout their course in the context of
health-related policy, practice, education or leadership. In groups, students will collaboratively develop a research based
project proposal about a contemporary issue impacting their field. Individually, students will then further develop a
specific component of the proposal for their individual project. This subject aims to enable the student to develop skills
and practice in collaborative work leading to the creation of a project proposal and output. The completed project
demonstrates students' ability to identify contemporary issues, synthesise salient information, and articulate original
ideas and thought processes to make a practical contribution to the existing body of knowledge relevant to health-
leadership, policy, practice or education. In preparing a written report, and making a presentation of their process and
outcomes, students demonstrate professional-level competence.
SNPG915 Essential Skills for Health Researchers

Many Health Professionals have had minimal exposure to health research methods and strategies in their undergraduate
studies, and often the exposure they have had is rather narrow. The intent of this subject is to assist students to acquire
the essential skills required to be a successful post graduate student. The topics selected for the subject are those which
have been found to be of interest and value to all post graduate students to consider and/or conduct their own small
project.
SNPG923 Legal and Professional Issues

This subject is designed to assist students to deal with legal, ethical and professional issues in relation to their area of
clinical practice. Relevant legislation, appropriate case law, principles of conflict management, and examples of ethical
and moral reasoning will be used to provide a framework for clinical decision-making. Advances in scientific knowledge
and technology and demands on health care resources mean that health care professionals such as midwives and nurses
participate in decisions of legal, moral and professional significance. In order to be accountable to their clients and their
profession, health professionals need the opportunity to study legal, moral and professional issues so that they are
capable of engaging in clinical decision-making processes which take into account the inherent legal, ethical and
professional concerns. This subject is designed to assist students to think critically and creatively. It draws on different
ways of thinking and learning so that students can form connections between insights, inspiration, logic and questions.
It is built on the assumption that effective learning occurs when students are interested in resolving an issue in their own
mind. The subject design enables students to develop their inquiry skills, develop their own criteria for criticism of the
hypotheses and answers they develop, synthesize complex information and conduct intellectual simulations of their
answers. In this way the subject provides a real and relevant connection with clinical practice.
SNPG925 Effective Leadership in Health

This subject focuses on leadership that creates the climate in which people work together to achieve successful outcomes
from the challenges they confront. Each topic is designed to increase the learners’ understanding and knowledge of the
characteristics of effective leadership and the various organisational environments in which leaders operate. Learners
will be exposed to various models of leadership and encouraged to explore their own antecedent leadership
characteristics. Leadership requires an understanding of organisational culture, interpersonal relationships, processes
and systems. The Health Services environment presents unique leadership challenges which will be explored and
analysed. Specifically, the subject examines five practices of leadership identified by Kouzes and Posner, namely: model
the way, inspire a shared vision; challenge the process; enable others to act; and encourage the heart.
SNPG927 Promoting Clinical Excellence

Nurses and other leaders face important challenges in today’s health care organisations. It is important that registered
nurses have a sound understanding of many aspects of service delivery including; an appreciation of operational policies
and strategies and how to implement those strategies and policies. This subject will focus on issues of clinical governance,
in particular that of quality management within clinical governance. The aim of this subject is to introduce students to
the various aspects of service design and delivery within a clinical governance and quality assurance framework.
SNPG950 Reflection for Practice


This subject is designed to empower health professionals through reflection to improve health outcomes and be agents
for social change. Health care delivery begins with an awareness and understanding of self. This subject aims to help
students to contextualise that self with practice, facilitating the development of practitioners who are global in outlook,
concerned with issues such as health disparities, diversity and person centred care. Students are encouraged to develop
a practice of critical reflection through an appreciation and application of a selection of reflective theories and strategies.
This starts with technical and practical reflection and extends practitioners through a consideration of the moral, ethical
and socio- historical contexts of their practice.
SNPG959 Tools for Practice Development

The subject focuses on participatory teaching practices. Students will explore concepts of engagement and collaboration,
clinical puzzling, future focused approaches to practice change, practice development, clinical evaluation and the
evolution of cultures of learning in clinical contexts.

COOPERATIVE RELATIONSHIPS
UOWD has Memorandums of Understanding with a range of government and corporate entities. These
collaborative arrangements cover a broad range of operations, including:
▪ Academic associations: joint or collaborative research and study abroad agreements;
▪ Government and industry associations: collaboration, research activities, and professional development; and
▪ English language associations: delivery of tailored English language programs and assessments.
Faculty encourages collaboration with researchers in UOW and other international and local universities, which
is reflected in the number of joint external grants. In order to enhance these collaborations, the Faculty will be
exploring the establishment of Cooperative Agreements with other local and International universities for the
following benefits (including research collaborations) to students and faculty.

A
Academic Advisor Any academic staff member, usually the Associate Dean(Education) or
Program Director, who is designated by the Faculty to assist students with
regard to enrolment, academic performance, and referral to student
services.
Academic Year Refers to the period comprising the Autumn trimester, the following
Spring trimester and Summer trimester.
Active Course Status Course status on which a student commences their studies and the
course status applied where a student on a course status of ‘referral’ has
achieved the MRP requirements.
Advanced Standing Approved credit given, to study undertaken prior to commencement of
course.
C
Comprehensive Exam An exam conducted at the conclusion of the coursework component of
the HDR Degree. The exam contains both a written and oral component
and both must be passed in order for a student to progress to the
research component of the doctoral program.
Concentration A concentration is best thought of as a grouping of courses which
represent a sub-specialization taken within the major field of study
Course A program of study consisting of a combination of subjects and other
requirements, whether leading to a specific higher education award or
not.
Course Status Category of enrolment determined by assessed minimum rate of
progress.
Credit Points Measure of workload allocated to subjects studied.
The credit points system used by UOW DUBAI (UOWD) and UOW
Australia (UOWA) is defined as follows:
• Credit points refer to the value attached to each subject undertaken
as part of a degree; Credit points are also a guide to the number of
hours per week a student should be studying for a subject. Most
subjects are single session (half-yearly) duration, offered in autumn or
spring session, and normally have a value of 6 credit points.
• Each credit point has an implied workload of 26 hours over the
duration of the subject. For example, for a 6 credit point single session
subject, a student should spend a total of 12 hours per week in
attending classes and working on his own for that subject (i.e. 6 credit
points x 26 hours ÷ 13 weeks = 12 hours). A subject that has a weight
of 12 credit points will require a student effort per week of 24 hours,
inclusive of class contact hours.
• Each subject has different contact hours depending on the level of the
subject, and the nature of topics covered.
E
Enrolment The action of enrolling, or being enrolled in a degree program or course.
Excluded Course Status Course status where a student on a course status of ‘restricted’ has not
achieved satisfactory progress in the previous trimester and has been

transition to a new field in a relatively shorter period of time through a
course of study in a specific area.
H

I
Intervention Strategy Systematic plan of action, adapted to assist students on a course status

second specialization
Minimum Rate of Progress The minimum requirement, in credit points, in any trimester of study that
(MRP) a student must pass in order to be considered successfully advancing
towards the completion of their course.
