WHAT ARE
THE SUMMER
AND WINTER
SCHOOLS?
WELCOME TO THE
SYDNEY SUMMER SCHOOL
DECEMBER 2014 – FEBRUARY 2015
The University of Sydney attracts the most promising students from the widest possible mix of cultures and backgrounds. Students travel from all over the world to take part in our intensive programs, held during the summer and winter breaks.
This year we are offering more than 120 undergraduate and postgraduate subjects from nine faculties. We teach these subjects over three sessions at the Summer School from December to February through online, face-to-face and offshore study. We also offer a shorter Winter School in July each year. Class sizes in the Summer and Winter Schools are generally much smaller than during semester because of the intensive nature of our programs. This means there are strict limits on places, so we advise you to apply early. Online applications for Summer School open on 1 October 2014, and for Winter School on 11 May 2015.
If you are currently enrolled at an Australian or overseas tertiary institution, an international student on a visitor’s visa, or a suitably qualified Australian resident, you are eligible to study with us. We invite you to apply online.
This handbook contains information on how the Summer and Winter Schools operate, how to apply, descriptions of subjects, scholarships and prizes, and a guide to accommodation. Note that extra subjects may have been added after this handbook was printed. For up-to-date details, visit our website:
sydney.edu.au/summer
We look forward to welcoming you into our community of world-class learning and critical thinking in one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
Please contact us if you have any queries about our programs or need further assistance.

WHY TAKE A SUMMER OR WINTER SCHOOL CLASS?
There are many advantages to attending classes at the University of Sydney during summer or winter. You can:
– experience studying at one of Australia’s most dynamic and progressive universities – accelerate your academic career and finish
your degree sooner
– repeat any subjects you have not completed successfully
– reduce your workload throughout the rest of the year
– devote your full attention to a single area of study
– take courses outside your current degree – add a Summer or Winter School subject
to your English-language or Study Abroad program
– use Summer or Winter School as an opportunity for a short international study experience
– combine study and travel by taking a subject that includes a field trip overseas.
High school graduates can attend classes to: – sample a University program
– get an early start on their degree. Please note that successful completion of a Summer or Winter School subject is not an offer of admission to the University of Sydney. The Sydney Summer School is a full-fee,
intensive program offering high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate subjects from nine faculties. These subjects are the same as those offered in Semesters One and Two, but they are taught in an intensive program over summer.
Three summer sessions are offered:
Summer December (Session 1)
commencing 1 December 2014
Summer Main (Session 2)
commencing 7 January 2015
Summer Late (Session 3)
commencing 12 January 2015
Some subjects run for six weeks, while others are shorter. Students can take a maximum of two subjects at the Summer School. See pages 26-37 for a list of the available subjects. A shorter Winter School is offered from 29 June to 24 July 2015. Students can take only one subject at the Winter School. Subjects are listed on page 40.
Note that additional subjects may be added to our program after the publication of this handbook, so please check the most recent list on our website: sydney.edu.au/summer

PREREQUISITES
To take some subjects, you need to have completed prior study. If you do not satisfy these prerequisites and still wish to undertake the subject, you need to seek written permission from the relevant department. You can make this request online at the time of your application.
Please note that approval to undertake a subject without the prerequisite does not guarantee you a place in that subject.
ACADEMIC CREDIT
University of Sydney students
If your Summer or Winter School subject is allowed in your current degree course and you have satisfied the prerequisites, it will appear on your student record and academic transcript.
If you are not currently enrolled, or if your Summer School subject cannot be added to your current record because of course rules, you will be enrolled as a Summer School non-award student. Non-award subjects will appear on your academic transcript.
Postgraduate subjects may not be attributed to undergraduate degrees.
Students from other institutions
It is your responsibility to obtain written confirmation from your home institution to show that the Summer or Winter School subject you plan to take will be credited (and at what credit-point value) to your degree. We strongly recommend you obtain this confirmation before enrolling in the subject. It is also your responsibility to ensure that your enrolment is correct and your progress within your award course is in accordance with the requirements (our Senate Resolutions) for that award. While we make every effort to provide advice and information, the onus is always on you to meet your award course requirements. Students from other institutions who take a Summer or Winter School subject may apply to Student Records (Level 3, Jane Foss Russell Building) for a transcript after the results have been announced.
WHO CAN ENROL?
All applicants need to meet any prerequisitesfor the subject(s) in which they wish to enrol. People who are eligible to enrol include:
Current students
– students currently enrolled at an Australian or overseas tertiary institution
– international students who wish to come to Sydney just to study at Summer or Winter School – note that these students need to travel on a visitor’s visa (not a student visa).
Other suitably qualified applicants
Australian residents whose educational qualifications would gain them admission to the degree program with which their chosen subject is associated (‘associated’ means it counts as one subject for that degree).
Students completing the HSC in 2014
Students who are currently studying towards their HSC, who gain an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) that qualifies them for entrance to the degree program with which their chosen subject is associated.
Please note that if you enrol for Summer School before receiving your ATAR and your score turns out to be too low for admission to your chosen subject, we will refund your tuition fee. Please notify us by 30 December 2014. HSC students may enrol for one subject only from those indicated as ‘open to HSC graduates’ (see page 39).
NOT-FOR-CREDIT STUDY
Members of the public and current students can also take interest-only subjects (known as ‘audit’ subjects) that will not be assessed or credited towards a degree.
In this situation:
– you do not undertake any summative assessments (such as assignments that count towards a result), although you may undertake some formative assessments (such as in-class quizzes)
– you may not credit the subject towards an award course at the University of Sydney (but you may apply for ‘advanced standing’ in the form of credit points that will count towards the requirements for an award course).
Subjects available as audit subjects will be charged at 75 percent of the normal tuition fee. These subjects are listed on page 38. Please note that students enrolling for credit will be given preference if places are limited. Please not that successful completion of a Summer or Winter School subject is not an offer of admission to the University of Sydney. The University also reserves the right to withdraw subjects before the start of the Summer or Winter programs.
“I arrived not knowing what to expect, since
it was my first time living in another country.
I fell in love with Australian culture and know
I’ll be back. I wouldn’t trade my time at the
University of Sydney for anything. It was a
life-changing experience.”
Sam Lewis
Bachelor of Arts
International student from the United States
“Summer School is a great new experience for me as an international
student. It provides many benefits. There is no better option to lift the
heavy load and fast-track your course of study than doing Summer School.
It offers the richness of interaction and learning between students and
lecturers, which can be challenging during semester when classes are big.
Summer School provided me with the opportunity to learn efficiently and
effectively – because you only focus on one unit of study, the experience
is much more rewarding, both practically and academically.”
Evelyn Thuge
Master of Professional Accounting International student, sponsored by Aus Aid

DOCUMENTATION
If you are new to the University of Sydney, you will need to submit certain documents when you apply for the Summer or Winter School.
If you are a current student from another Australian university, you will need to submit: – a certified transcript of your
academic record.
If you’re receiving FEE–HELP, you will need to submit:
– a letter from your home university stating that the subject will be credited towards your degree
– a new FEE–HELP form – submitted to the University of Sydney as the provider of the subject. You can complete this form online at the time of your application.
If you are from an overseas university, you will need to submit:
– a certified transcript (in English) of your academic record
– proof of your English-language proficiency if English is not your first language – a letter from your home university stating
that the subject will be credited towards your degree.
Bear in mind that academic transcripts can take several weeks to obtain from your home university.
VISA AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY
If you’re from an overseas university and you intend to enrol only in a Summer or Winter School subject, then you need to travel on a visitor’s visa (not a student visa).
If you enrol for a Sydney Summer School subject on a visitor visa, remember that the combined length of any studies you undertake in Australia cannot be more than three months. Also, make sure the conditions of your visa do not prohibit you from engaging in studies or training.
It is advisable to have good English skills when studying in intensive mode.
If English is not your first language, you need also to provide proof of your English language proficiency. For details, visit our website
sydney.edu.au/ug-int-english

STUDY LOAD AND
ATTENDANCE
REQUIREMENTS
The intensive mode in which we present Summer and Winter School subjects requires a substantial commitment of time and effort, both inside and outside the classroom. For this reason, you may only take two subjects in the Summer School and one in the Winter School. You need to attend at least 80 percent of all classroom hours.
FACULTY RULES REGARDING ENROLMENT AND STUDY LOAD
MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS
If you can demonstrate high academic ability, you may be allowed to take more than two first-year mathematics subjects at the Summer School. To request permission when you apply online, contact Dr David Easdown, Coordinator of Summer School mathematics subjects in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the Faculty of Science.
E david.easdown@sydney.edu.au
LAW
To take a law subject at the Summer or Winter School, we require you to already be enrolled in a law degree at the University of Sydney or at another university. If you are taking a combined law program (a double degree), then you need to be enrolled in the law part of this degree when enrolling in Summer or Winter School law subjects.
Law subjects are not available as audit subjects.
PSYCHOLOGY
Students may not enrol in both PSYC1001 and PSYC1002 at the Summer School.
ECONOMICS
Conditional enrolments will not be approved for economics undergraduate subjects. Students completing the prerequisites for economics subjects in Semester One will not be permitted to enrol in those subjects at the Winter School.
BUSINESS
Conditional enrolments will not be approved for Business undergraduate subjects. Students currently enrolled in an undergraduate business subject in Semester One will not be permitted to enrol in that subject at the Winter School.
AUSTUDY AND YOUTH ALLOWANCE
If taking a Summer or Winter School subject means your study load during Semester One or Two is reduced, this may affect your eligibility for Austudy or Youth Allowance.
For more information, visit the Centrelink website: www.centrelink.gov.au
“I have commitments that make it difficult for me to
coordinate units during the longer 13-week semesters, so I
welcome the chance to teach Summer School. I enjoy the
small class sizes and interacting with students when I can
give them my undivided attention. We have a lot of fun
discussing magazines and learning from each other. Students
come to class with their own knowledge and expertise and
I design engaging assessments such as contributing entries
to Wikipedia and group work. I want my students to enjoy
my unit and to feel like they are making a contribution to
Australian magazine culture.”
Rebecca Johinke
Coordinator, Magazines and Australian Print Culture Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

“I did Summer School because I
had to catch up a failed unit and
didn’t want to overload in the
semester. The lecturing style,
modification of assessment to
suit the needs of Summer School
students and the genuine care
from tutors not only changed
my attitude towards a unit I
had disliked previously, it also
kindled my desire to improve
and gain more knowledge in the
area. My result – a distinction –
reflects this.”
Bethany Kings
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences
“Students who attend Summer
School are motivated to give
their best, knowing they will
be encouraged and supported
in all aspects of their learning
experience. The small class size
gives them ample opportunity
to ask questions and
guarantees strong individual
attention. Students accept the
high yet manageable workload
as a factor contributing to their
success in this course.”

“Summer School was university the way it
should be. My class size was perfect – small and
interactive – and the intensive structure really
helped me to understand and enjoy the content.
The chance to catch up on some units of study in
a great environment and enjoy the campus and the
libraries, almost all to myself, was fantastic.”

“Taking the Summer School course
enables me to provide background
learning to my core units of study in
the Business School and settle into
university life with greater ease. In
addition to gaining some valuable
knowledge, I find myself getting
more involved in the thinking
process when I was under the
guidance of the teacher. Summer
School is a great way to make
new friends.”
Jiaying Lin
Bachelor of Commerce
“Winter School was terrific. The
block format fitted in well with my
other commitments, the intensive
tutorials were challenging and
allowed extensive interaction, and
the lecturer was top notch.”
Chris Ashton
Master of Arts
“I recommend Summer School to all
students. I just wish I had enrolled
earlier in my degree. It was easy
to enrol and a great way to study.
It has allowed me to reduce my
workload in my final year at the
University. I work full time and had
no problems attending the classes
and doing the work.”
Paul-Raymond James
Faculty of Arts and Social Science
“Summer School provides the
opportunity for me to finish my
undergraduate program earlier.
It is ideal for a mature-age
student such as myself – I get to
concentrate on one subject for a
targeted amount of time without
other life distractions. The library
resources are readily available and
the teaching is of a high quality.
Take up the opportunity if it suits
your plans.”

Bachelor of Arts and Science
“Attending Summer School was
a great end to 2013 and fantastic
beginning to the new year. The
intense nature of the course really
helped me to stay on track. Summer
School is for those students who
are serious about fast-tracking their
degree and taking advantage of
smaller class sizes. I was fortunate
to have a quality lecturer who
was so learned in her field. All this
made Summer School go even
faster. It really gave my motivation
a boost and raised my sense of
achievement. Even better, summer
had only just begun.”
Mark Smolonogov
Master of Human Resource Management
“I never expected to enrol in
Summer School but now it’s likely
I’ll enrol again. The smaller lecture
theatre and tutorial classes meant
that everyone could get a lot of
support. The tutors had more time
to provide personalised help for
each student and it was such a
great environment to learn in. In
regular lectures, we can spend too
much time blindly copying notes.
However, the Summer School
lectures were clear, interactive and
lively. Our lecturer emphasised the
importance of listening instead of
trying to copy everything down
and struggling to understand the
material. As a result, I thoroughly
enjoyed my course and was very
motivated to achieve my potential.”
Lauren Mak
Bachelor of Science
“Winter School has been a lifesaver
throughout my law degree. I have
always needed to work part-time
during semester to support my
studies and living costs, which
meant dropping my study load
from four to three subjects. Winter
School was a means of making up
my ‘dropped’ fourth subjects during
the holidays. Now I’m on track to
graduate at the end of this year –
right on time.”
Kate Hewson
Bachelor of Laws
“I chose to study during Winter and
Summer Schools not only because I
wanted to fast-track my degree but
because it’s enjoyable. It also suits
my studying habits – I learn more
when I study intensively.”
Eunbee Lee
Bachelor of Laws
“I completed the Summer School in
Athens and found it to be one of the
most enriching experiences of my
life. The lecturers were passionate
and inspiring. The small number
of students greatly increased the
positive experience as lecturers
could give us one-on-one attention.
It was definitely an experience of
a lifetime.”
Emma Horn
Bachelor of Arts (Media and Communications)
“The intensive classes suited me.
I could not spend long periods
in Sydney and Summer School
enabled me to take classes I would
not otherwise have been able to
take. The short study periods were
perfect for me. Being together
for brief, intensive periods pays
off in the contacts you make
with classmates from varied
backgrounds. It was an honour to
participate in such classes.”
