#stThe Australian Defence Force Academy was opened in 1986 under an Agreement between The University of New South Wales and the Commonwealth dated 7 May 1981. The Academy is the centre for tertiary education and military training for the Armed Services. The undergraduate students are officer cadets and midshipmen of the Royal Australian Navy, the Australian Regular Army, and the Royal Australian Air Force, who are in residence at the Academy, and certain other members of the regular Armed Services. In addition to their academic studies, officer cadets undertake programs of military training at the Academy and at Service training establishments. Officer cadets undertake an undergraduate degree in Arts, Science or Engineering, depending on individual career preference and on service needs.#end #stIn addition to its primary role, the College offers postgraduate research and coursework programs to serving members and civilian employees of the Defence Department as well as to the general community. Full-time or part-time programs are available with provision for changing status. In certain circumstances a research program may be undertaken externally.#end #stSee p 14 for information on Distance Education opportunities relating to coursework studies.#end #stWhile postgraduate students are not formally associated with the Defence Academy, they are expected to give due regard to the unique nature of the establishment and the role of the College within it, and to recognise that the facility is a shared one which requires a courteous, cooperative and flexible approach. #end #stLocation#end #stThe University College is located in Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory. Canberra, with a population exceeding 300,000, is a modern city situated approximately 300 km from the main campus of The University of New South Wales (UNSW) at Kensington, an inner suburb of Sydney. UNSW has a total student population of 30,000. The University College is a few kilometres from Canberra city centre and occupies an area covering 46 ha with modern buildings and facilities. Undergraduate officer cadet enrolments at the College number approximately 1,000 and postgraduate enrolments approximately 600. All awards from this institution are awards of The University of New South Wales.#end #stClimate#end #stCanberra is cold in winter with night temperatures dropping below 0° Celsius. Day temperatures in summer are as high as 35° Celsius with mild nights.#end #stFacilities#end #stThe College campus is smaller than most Australian academic institutions, with excellent study opportunities.#end #stThe campus has a large and comprehensive library, media resources service, up-to-date computing facilities and a concessions area which includes a hair salon, bookshop, credit union and cafeteria/kiosk. On-campus (Department of Defence) sporting facilities are available to eligible full-time students with certain conditions applying. Part-time students are not eligible to use the sporting facilities. Public transport to and from the city centre is available at regular intervals. Full-time postgraduate students are eligible for local bus and interstate bus and train concessions.#end
#stAncillary and Support Services#end #stThe College has appointed a staff member to assist international students, particularly upon arrival and in the early stages of their study, and to provide relevant ongoing support and advice.#end #stAlso on campus is a representative of the UNSW Students' Guild, a postgraduate students' representative, and an equal opportunity office. The Postgraduate Office also provides advice and guidance to students.#end #stAPPLYING#end #stEligibility for Admission#end #stDetails on admission criteria are to be found under Course Information (p 13). To be eligible for admission to a program of postgraduate study an applicant is normally required to have completed an appropriate undergraduate degree from a recognised institution. In certain programs other qualifications or relevant professional experience are considered in determining the level of entry to a course of study. Candidates who do not meet the direct entry requirements at the Masters or PhD level may be able to undertake a qualifying program. In some schools, research students enter at Masters level and are upgraded after 12 months' progress if their research is of the required standard and the topic appropriate. Applications are open to Australian and New Zealand citizens as well as to international full-fee paying students who hold, or are eligible to apply for, a valid student visa. For international students, a student visa is required in all cases before their enrolment is formalised. Military officers from other countries study under special visa arrangements.#end #stPersonal Computers and Computer Literacy#end #stThere is a growing dependency in tertiary institutions for students ideally to have their own computers and to be computer literate. Students should discuss this requirement with appropriate staff before committing to a course of study.#end #stEnglish Language Requirements#end #stEnglish language requirements at University College are set by The University of New South Wales.#end #stIt is important to ensure that all intending students are sufficiently skilled in reading, writing, listening and speaking in English. One of the main reasons for failure or for lack of progress is due to English language inadequacy, particularly in coursework programs where lecturing (when you listen), seminars (when you speak and/or listen) and tutorials (when you contribute to discussion) are the major modes of delivery and learning.#end #stApplicants who have not undertaken secondary schooling or completed a degree or diploma where English was the primary language of instruction are required to provide proof of their competence in English by presenting acceptable results from a recognised testing centre, taken within the previous two year period. Details on requirements will be sent on request or with application forms. As a guide, the minimum TOEFL score is 600 and IELTS is 6.5. #end #stWhere to Apply#end #stTo request an application form (please specify research or coursework) and information contact:#end #st Postgraduate Office#end #st University College of UNSW#end #st Australian Defence Force Academy#end #st Northcott Drive#end #st CANBERRA ACT 2600#end #st Phone: (02) 6268 8716#end #st Fax: (02) 6247 0702#end #st Email: d-cook@adfa.edu.au#end #stThe College is unable to send application forms or related material electronically or by facsimile at this stage.

The completed form, academic transcripts and other related documents are to be submitted in duplicate (one original, one copy) by the due closing date (see under 'Closing dates' (this page)). Failure to provide a complete duplicate set of papers as set out in the instructions accompanying the application form will result in processing delays. RESEARCH PAPERS ARE NOT REQUIRED IN DUPLICATE.#end #stApplicants will normally be advised whether they have been accepted into a course of study within four weeks of the relevant closing date. In the case of international applicants, defence personnel with posting implications, or in otherwise urgent cases, advice will be sent as soon as possible.#end #stClosing Dates#end #st30 November 1998 - Coursework applications for Session 1, 1999.#end #st31 December 1998 - Research applications for Session 1, 1999.#end #st14 May 1999 - all applications for mid-year intake in 1999.#end #stLate applications will be accepted only in special circumstances to be determined#end
#stARRIVING IN CANBERRA#end #stThe International Student Office staff will meet international students upon their arrival in Canberra and will assist in settling students into their initial accommodation.#end #stAssistance is also available at Sydney International Terminal, at certain times of the year. Students should indicate in advance that they require advice on how to get from Sydney to Canberra (a distance of 300km). Regular air and bus services operate between the two cities.#end #stAccommodation#end #stResidential (on-campus) accommodation is provided only for officer cadets and, in some cases, for postgraduate military officers. However, postgraduate students have access to self-catering/catered 'hostel' or college style accommodation owned by the Australian National University (a large Canberra university). As well, students often arrange share-housing or lease an apartment depending on their personal circumstances. Assistance is provided in settling students into short-term accommodation, and advice is given on long-term arrangements, but the College considers that accommodation is the responsibility of the student.#end #stLiving Expenses#end #stCanberra is a relatively expensive city. The estimated annual cost of living is $10,000 for a single person and an additional $2,000 for each dependant. International students who are accompanied by school-aged dependants are required to pay fees for children attending ACT or NSW government or private schools.#end #stENROLMENT INFORMATION#end #stEnrolment Requirements#end #stEnrolment sessions are scheduled prior to each session with the main intake in Session 1 of each year. Students are advised in writing of the dates. Students must enrol for each session/ year of their course. Failure to enrol or to re-enrol at the scheduled time will result in cancellation of candidature. Attendance by new on-campus candidates at the enrolment session is compulsory unless special arrangements are made with Student Administration and are approved by the officer-in-charge. Some flexibility is possible for research students.#end #stDeferral of Enrolment in a Course#end #stA request to defer a course of study must be made in writing to the Postgraduate Office (at the address stated on p 7). A request to defer a course of study must be submitted prior to the relevant census date (see p 21). Discontinuation without failure from a subject is also possible up to the census date by completing the relevant form.#end #stDeferral is normally limited to one academic year and, due to the high demand for places, cannot be guaranteed for all courses.#end #stAdvanced Standing/Credit for Previous Studies#end #stStudents who have previously completed subjects at a recognised institution but who have not taken out any qualification for which the subjects count, can apply for credit. Limited credit is usually granted for subjects which are considered equivalent in standard, level and relevance to the course in which they enrol or are enrolled at the College. Credit is granted in some courses for previously completed qualifications at postgraduate level, with conditions applying. #end #stUndertaking courses at another institution concurrent with enrolment in a course at this institution is not permitted, unless prior approval is given by the appropriate committee.#end #stSpecial admission criteria apply to Defence Staff College graduates. #end #stFEES AND CHARGES#end #stFees Applicable to Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents#end #stUp-front course fees are applicable for new "local" students (ie Australian citizens and permanent residents) in postgraduate coursework programs, unless exemptions apply. All Defence personnel are exempt in 1999 with the exception of Reservists. However, an administrative charge will apply to Defence distance education students (refer to section below for more details). Fees and charges will be determined on an annual basis and students will be required to pay the fee applicable in each year of their enrolment. Fees are set out in the Course Information section of this booklet, pp14-20. Note that fees will not apply to research programs except in qualifying programs.#end #stRefund Policy on Local Fees#end #stIf, after enrolment and before the end of the fourth week of the student's commencing session, a student lodges a notice of discontinuation of a course, a refund of all tuition fees paid, less $500, will be made. Note that a student will incur and retain a liability for payment of $500, regardless of whether fees have been paid, if the student has accepted the offer of a place and enrolled. (Note that this refund policy was operative in 1998 and may change for 1999.) #end #stFee Concessions#end #stAn application for a Postgraduate Equity Scholarship (which enables a student to substitute the appropriate Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) liability for upfront tuition fees) may be made by students who are in receipt of a full living allowance from a government department or who hold a current Health Care Card issued by the Department of Social Security. In some instances, the scholarship will be available only on a session-by-session and case-by-case basis.#end
#stEligible students may apply for the HECS Substitution Scholarship for Women (which enables a recipient to substitute the appropriate HECS liability for upfront tuition fees).#end #stDistance Education Charge#end #stAn administrative charge will apply to#end #stDefence personnel enrolled in any subjects by distance education. In 1999, the charge will range from $270 - $525, depending on the subject weighting.#end #stFees Applicable to International Students#end #stFees are set out in the Course Information section of this booklet (pp 14-20). International student fees range from $6,300-$12,600 per annum. Fees are payable in advance except where proof of sponsorship has been received. Private international students are required to lodge an advance payment of at least half the per annum course cost, or in the case of Certificate programs, half the total course cost, before the College will confirm a place in a program or assist with the issuing of a student visa. The College is not in a position to negotiate on variation or delay of fees. In addition, international students are required to send the initial payment for Overseas Student Health Cover (see details below) or to reimburse the College upon arrival. International students already in Australia must pay the fee (and the health cover if applicable) before they enrol or at the enrolment session. Evidence of a current student visa is required in all cases.#end #stStudents on a student visa are required, under DIMEA law, to enrol in a full-time load.#end #stAssociated Charges#end #stThe College does not collect facility or activity fees.#end #stFee increases do not normally apply to international students already in a program.#end #stRefund Policy on International Fees#end #st• Applicants who notify the University College in writing before enrolment that they wish to withdraw their candidature, will receive a refund of all fees paid less a $300 administrative charge.#end #st• Students who withdraw within the first four weeks of their course will receive a refund of all fees paid less an administrative charge of $750. After that period the student foregoes the right of refund for that session.#end #st• Under certain circumstances the full amount may be refunded.#end #stFull details are set out in a separate document and are available from the Postgraduate Office.#end #stHealth Cover#end #stIt is compulsory for all international students to have health insurance while they are in Australia on a student visa. Payment normally is required before the issue of a student visa. The 1998 charge was $274 per year for single cover and $548 for family cover. Charges for 1999 were not available at time of printing but when issued will be available from the Postgraduate Office. Evidence of health cover is required at the time of enrolment except where the College has initiated health cover registration of the student.#end #stHigher Eduction Contribution Scheme (HECS)#end #stOnly students continuing in a course or course discipline started under the HECS scheme, including those on approved leave in 1998, will remain HECS liable.
