4. MODUS OPERANDI FOR THE CURRICULUM COMMITTEE – Ref F68755
In accordance with the Committee’s practice, the Chair will briefly outline the role of Committee and the expectations of its members, which are guided by the following University policies and practices:

5. 2019 CURRICULUM MANAGEMENT TIMELINES – REF: F37868
Members are reminded that timelines for submitting new proposals and change to approved curriculum are planned to ensure that proposals are approved in time to meet all UWA internal process and Government reporting deadlines. Internal process includes, but is not limited to, the following:
• Marketing (International and Domestic) • TISC • ACIR – The Good Universities Guide • CRICOS registration • Government reporting • UWA Open Day • Enrolments • Timetabling • UWA Handbook
While it is recognised that continuous improvement of UWA curriculum offerings can be subject to late ‘unplanned’ reasons, for example responsiveness to student feedback, faculties are encouraged to meet submission timelines wherever possible.
Attachment B provides a summary of recommended timelines for 2019 and further details are available from the UWA Curriculum Management website. Early submission is strongly encouraged.
For discussion.
6. UNITS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ENROLMENT IN 2017- 2019
Undergraduate and Postgraduate units may be made unavailable for a variety of reasons including resourcing issues and availability of teaching staff etc.
However, units that have been made unavailable for a number of years may also be misleading to students. In turn this does not lend itself to a good student experience. Furthermore, administrative processes are impacted.
At present there are currently 238 units that are not available for offering for the current year and the previous two years. Reports on the relevant units by faculty are available for download via the Reports and Exports section of CAIDi and are available on request.
The Chair will initiate a discussion including consideration of some related principles for the future operation.

Curriculum Committee – Survey 2018
Introduction At the end of each year, members of the Academic Council and its sub-committees are asked to evaluate their committee’s performance during the past year through a survey. This report presents the results for the Curriculum Committee. Summary of results The survey was distributed to 16 committee members. Responses to the online survey were received from 5 members of the Curriculum Committee, representing a response rate of 31%. In this survey the structured items requested a response on a 4-point scale. The percentage results of the top two categories (e.g., agree and strongly agree) have been combined for a grouped measure of performance. A higher percentage score for the top two categories represents a better result. Overall, members rated the performance of the Curriculum Committee positively. Sixteen questions received a rating of 100%, and a further 4 questions scored above 80%. A percentage score of 70% or less in the top two categories suggests a need for improvement. In this survey no question received scores of 70% or less. Detailed results, including verbatim respondents comments are presented below.

Student numbers are crucial to the Italian Studies major at this time, as staffing levels are low and the programme is attempting toregroup and rebuild. Three years ago staff decided to offer Level Three units based on topics close to their own research interests, i.e. inaspects of Italian linguistics (sociolinguistics, migration and linguistics, linguistic history). These have not proved popular and staffsurveyed students in second semester 2018. Students expressed a very clear preference for more ‘traditional' cultural elective units,based on broader cultural issues. ITAL 3816 has been developed to meet this demand.

Academic information
Content This unit is a study of the Inferno by Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). The Inferno is the first part of Dante's Divine Comedy, oneof the great works of world literature. In this unit the work is studied in relation to its medieval context, the politics of thetime, the Christian world-view of the poet, the many references to Classical culture, the development of Italian poetry andlanguage.
Dante's Divine Comedy is one person's account of his search for meaning and for integrated, holistic knowledge of the truthin all spheres of his life, both public and private, intellectual spiritual and political.
The objectives of the unit are to equip students to read the text in the original Italian, to understand the text in its contextand to reflect on its relevance to our contemporary world. Reference will be made to Dante's earlier works and also to theother two parts of the Comedy, the Purgatorio and the Paradiso.
Outcomes Students are able to (1) read Dante's Inferno in the original Italian and understand the principal contextual allusions; (2)apply theoretical understandings to the Inferno; (3) demonstrate an understanding of the structure of the Inferno in relationto Dante's world view; and (4) use the Italian language at Level B2/C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference forLanguages (CEFR).

Applicability of theStudent Rules,policies andprocedures
1.(1) The Student Rules apply to students in this course.
(2) The policy, policy statements and guidance documents and student procedures apply, except as otherwise indicated inthe rules for this course.
Academic ConductEssentials module
2.(1) Except as stated in (2), a student who enrols in this course for the first time irrespective of whether they havepreviously been enrolled in another course of the University, must undertake the Academic Conduct Essentials module (theACE module).
(2) A student who has previously achieved a result of Ungraded Pass (UP) for the ACE module is not required to repeat themodule.
Admission rules -English languagecompetencyrequirements
3.(1) To be considered eligible for consideration for admission to this course an applicant must satisfy the University'sEnglish language competence requirement as set out in the University Policy on Admission: Coursework, except asotherwise indicated in the rules for this course.
(2) Applicants with qualifications from overseas institutions where English is not the medium of instruction must provideevidence of English language competence, with applicants presenting with the IELTS Academic requiring an overall score ofat least 7.0 with no sub-score less than 7.0.
Admission rules -admissionrequirements
4. To be considered for admission to this course an applicant must have—
(a)(i) a three year bachelor's degree in Psychology, accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC),with; and
(ii) a WAMweighted average mark of at least 70 percent in the third year (Level 3) units of the degree, or equivalent asrecognised by UWA.
Rationale and impactassessment for change
to Admission rules -admission
requirements
Opening up the MBusPsych to candidates with any Psychology degree maximises the potential applicant pool.Our other 'business' psychology degree, the Master of Industrial and Organisational Psychology (MIOP), is accredited by the AustralianPsychology Accreditation Council (APAC) and is restricted to students who have come through APAC accredited undergraduate andhonours degrees. This makes the MIOP inaccessible to a very large number of both national and international students, for whom theMBusPsych should be attractive.
Change notes Change made on fast-track change revision form.
Admission rules -ranking andselection
5. Where relevant, admission will be awarded to the highest ranked applicants or applicants selected based on—
(a) academic merit;
(b) a satisfactory personal statement, including any relevant occupational or practical experience, as recognised by UWA;and
(b) two satisfactory referees, as recognised by UWA;
and
(c) an interview in which eligible applicants will be assessed based on the personal qualities considered desirable inpsychology practitioners, with invitation to attend the interview based on Rules 4, 5(a) and 5(b) and the interview quota forthat year;
and and
(d) the intake quota for that year.
Rationale and impactassessment for change
to Admission rules -ranking and selection
We want to take previous marks into account during selection too, however this was not listed before.Marketing department informed us that for international applicants it might be hard to provide referees that are sufficiently familiar withthe Australian university systems to be able to provide useful references; hence the need for referees has been removed.

and
(c) all units above Level 3 completed at this University that are credited to the master's degree course.
Course structure
Rationale and impactassessment for change
to Unit sequence
The School of Psychological Science is seeking approval to fast-track changes to the approved Master of Business Psychology (73550) toallow it to be offered for an intake in Semester 2,2019, rather than in 2020 as originally planned.
The revised structure is, configured so as to:1. Provide a distinct course offering from the Master of Industrial and Organisational Psychology (MIOP) (so that they target a differentstudent group: domestic studentsthose who do not see value in accreditation as a Psychologist, domestic students who do not have or arenot interested in a double major or honours in Psychology, and international students for whom there are currently limitedto growinternational offerings in psychology at UWA);2. To be maximally efficient in using existing units or proposing units that, wherever possible, may be used in other degrees (whilstmaintaining sufficient distinctiveness, as outlined above).3. To be efficient in offering a smaller, optional research project than that in the MIOP, and 1 rather than 3 practical placements, withfewer restrictions on who can supervise or the type of placement that would be suitable than in the accredited MIOP and to offer acoursework only option. Discussions with potential students and the broader work market suggests that there are prospective students forwhom these changes will be preferable. Those who have been out in the workplace will prefer the coursework only option, since they willnot feel the need to obtain practical experience. Students who have already completed a substantive research project at undergraduatelevel will be interested in the placement unit, but not in research. Students who have come straight from an undergraduate degree withno work experience may well want to take up the optional group research project and the placement. We anticipate, therefore, that, asthe program grows, we will reduce research and practicum supervision costs as we recruit more students who have already been in theworkplace as the MBusPsych becomes better known.
MBusPsych has been designed to recruit students with any undergraduate psychology major (single or double) so conversion units are notrequired.
Rationale for removing the placement unit: the new structure only has one placement.

Reason for quota see above
D7
Quota consultations The factorquota of 40 students per year is predicated on an understanding that limitsadditional FTE will be available toteach and supervise the maximumstudents. There is the potential to grow the quota in the future. The number of places wecan offer is a function of the availability of placements (in external organisations) and the demand for placement andresearch projects from the students, both of which are optional. Given current pressures on staff, who are providingplacements and research supervision to a large number of APAC-accredited students, we do not have the capacity,currently, to supervise the number of students that we can enrol in each year is the volume of placements that areavailable, and the timehave undertaken to enroll. The offer of the personnelMBusPsych is predicated on the requirement tosuperviseincrease staffing, commensurate with the placement studentsincrease in workload. The school isThat said, demandfor our Honours degree far outstrips supply, and we currently have no postgraduate offerings in Psychology for studentsgraduating with a good position where it is unable to satisfy the current demandssingle-major or for placementinternationalstudents; that is we are turning down some good opportunities to place students! We see this without an APAC-accreditedPsychology degree as a means with which to grow the placement program, however. Accordingly, there is an upper limit.Sincethe potential for very high demand from the School and University's reputations are on the line when we sendabove forthis course. We have excellent relations with local industry who have indicated keen interest in taking our students out, butwe would need the staff to build and maintain those relationships and to organise the placement administration, wewillwhich is time-consuming work. We also insist on undertaking a rigorous student selection program similarneed staff towhat is currently enacted in Medicineteach the new units and coordinate and supervise the research projects. This willnecessarily result in a reduction of enrollees.
