INTERNATIONAL UNDERGRADUATE GUIDE 2015 - Top Universities · through our international affiliations, industry and alumni mentoring programs, and innovative partnerships. To expand

INTERNATIONAL UNDERGRADUATEGUIDE 2015

When I tell you the University of Sydney is a superb place to learn and grow, I’m not just speaking as its Vice-Chancellor. I’m also talking as a parent – my own children study here – and I am a former student myself.

The University has changed a lot in the 30 years since I studied here, but its finest qualities remain and these qualities are what drew me back. Two of them stand out.

First, our unashamed devotion to excellence in service to the community. We make things happen; we make lives better.

Ranked among the top one percent of universities worldwide,* we are one of the country’s biggest recipients of research funding. Our academics and students are changing the world for the better by developing cleaner fuels, fighting chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes and shaping public policy to help those in need. And that’s just touching the surface.

Second is the vision we were built on: that education should be accessible to all students of promise, regardless of their background. It’s a principle encoded into the very DNA of this university and reflected by our vibrant community of 50,000 students, including more than 10,000 international students from 145 countries. I invite you to visit us, discover our courses, meet our amazing people and, most importantly, begin to discover what you can do with your own potential.

Dr Michael Spence Vice-Chancellor and Principal

When Leticia Luiz came to Sydney from Brazil, she says it was a bit of a culture shock. Having never travelled overseas before, it was the first time she’d experienced a culture and language so different from her own.

However, Leticia admits that taking the step to travel more than 13,000 kilometres to a completely new environment has been one of the best decisions of her life.

“I wanted to learn English and study at an internationally recognised Australian uni, so the University of Sydney was the obvious choice.”

She says that her self-confidence, English and personal and professional skills developed quickly and that much of this was due to getting involved in some of the many extracurricular activities available at the University.

Leticia also got involved with the public speaking club Toastmasters, and in doing so won three Australian public speaking contests, made new friends and improved her English at the same time.

Leticia was awarded the NSW International Student of the Year Award in 2013. To be nominated, international students need to demonstrate how their achievements add value to their community. The judges said Leticia received the award because of her “exemplary project management and leadership skills, and her encouragement of cross-cultural communication among international students”.

Her advice to other international students?

“Sydney is a beautiful, multicultural city. If you’re thinking of studying at the University of Sydney, my advice is to get out of your comfort zone and just go.”

“I was part of the University of Sydney’s student-run racing team (FSAE), and used the engineering skills I learned in class to help build a car that raced in a national university competition. Building the car taught me valuable skills that I was also able to apply in the workforce when I completed my internships. They included one with Australian company Pandrol.”

“One of the best things about studying dentistry is the clinical placements. So far I’ve practised at Westmead, Sydney and Nepean hospitals. As a clinician, the impact you have on individuals is inestimable. You go home satisfied by your work every day.”

CAHIT OZBEYAZLIBACHELOR OF ORAL HEALTH

The Faculty of Dentistry is one of the most prestigious dental schools in Australia, if not the world. Our innovative dentistry programs build on more than 100 years of excellence in dental education and produce graduates of the highest calibre.

We are dedicated to improving oral and general health. To support this goal, your studies will involve a blend of clinical, health and dental science. We will also challenge you to develop skills in critical analysis, teamwork and problem solving.

Our courses are academically demanding and you will need to pass all subjects to progress to the next year. However, we can promise you it will be in a stimulating, supportive and social environment.

We teach at two major teaching hospitals (Westmead Centre for Oral Health and Sydney Dental Hospital), as well as a number of metropolitan and rural clinical settings where you’ll be able to put your skills into practice.

The three-year undergraduate Bachelor of Oral Health focuses on dental hygiene, dental therapy, and oral health promotion and education. A growing number of public sector services and dentists in private practice require practitioners with the skills you will learn in this course.

YOUR FUTURE

You will graduate with a highly respected qualification, enabling you to work as an oral health hygienist or therapist with skills in oral health promotion and education.

STUDY ABROAD Each year more than 1500 students visit or depart from the University for an international experience. Studying overseas gives you the chance to expand your perspective and enhance your self-confidence by taking on new challenges.

“My overseas placement was an unparalleled learning experience. As an intern at the Institute of International Finance in Washington DC, I spent my week working with global leaders of finance, researchers and economists.”

DAVID XUBACHELOR OF COMMERCE/BACHELOR OF LAWS BUSINESS SCHOOL WASHINGTON DC INTERNSHIP PARTICIPANT

We offer intensive, high-quality Summer and Winter School programs that can help you accelerate your degree to finish your studies and return home sooner, balance your workload or make up a failed subject.

SYDNEY SUMMER AND WINTER SCHOOL

Both schools are offered on a full-fee-paying basis, with the Summer School offering 150 undergraduate and postgraduate units of study, and the Winter School offering 60 units.

Summer School units commence at various times: some in early December, others in January, with most running for about six weeks. The Winter School starts in early July and runs for four weeks (until the beginning of Semester Two).

The following faculties offer subjects: Science; Sydney Law School; Engineering, Project Management and Information Technologies; the University of Sydney Business School; Arts and Social Sciences; Health Sciences; Sydney Medical School; Architecture, Design and Planning; Education and Social Work; and Sydney College of the Arts (Visual Arts).

DO I HAVE TO BE ENROLLED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY?

No. We welcome students from any tertiary institution to our summer/winter schools, provided they have the prerequisites to enrol in their chosen unit of study and meet our English requirements.

CAN I START BEFORE SEMESTER ONE?

Yes. If you are intending to start your studies in Semester One, which begins in March, you can often begin your studies in the summer (giving yourself an early start). You will need to inform International Services to make sure your visa requirements are correctly noted.

HOW DO I APPLY?

You can apply online. Applications open in the third week of September for Summer School and in the last week of May for Winter School. You need to send your English-language qualifications, academic transcript and a letter from your home institution stating that it is prepared to credit your units of study.
