Macquarie - Uni in a Day Transitioning from high school to university is a big jump. Not only do you have to negotiate a campus the size of a small suburb, but you also have to make new friends, get used to a new format of study and figure out what it means to be a 'uni student'. On top of that universities love to throw all kinds of new terms at you. What exactly is an undergraduate, a credit point, a program of study and what do you mean I have to go to a lecture AND a tutorial? What's the difference, aren't they all classes? On top of that, you actually have to pick which classes you want to study. Sure, universities have the usual suspects – biology, chemistry, maths, english, computer science, and commerce – but then there are 'new' names to get used to. What exactly is mechatronics? Or actuarial studies? Or planning? What do I study when I study linguistics? And really, what is the difference between philosophy/ anthropology/cultural studies/sociology? If you want to become more acquainted with the who, the what and the how of university study then Macquarie University's "Uni in a Day" is the event for you. Get a taste of university life – choose your own subjects, plan your timetable and get social on campus living a day in the life of a university student.

New facilities for Southern Cross University Southern Cross University's School of Health and Human Sciences had a lot to celebrate this month with a new federally funded $1.4 million mobile training unit being announced alongside the official opening of the $4.2 million Southern Cross University Health Clinic. The purpose-built clinic offers consultations in naturopathy, osteopathy, massage, herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, homeopathy, acupuncture, exercise physiology and nurse practitioner services to students, staff and the wider community. Professor Iain Graham, head of the School of Health and Human Sciences said the new facility would ensure the University was keeping pace with global thinking on health practitioner education. "Internationally there is a growing view that the clinical preparation for health practitioner students should become more central to the curriculum design. The clinic will help us achieve that goal. It also affords us the opportunity to allow academics to become engaged in practice thereby stopping the separation of theory and practice," Professor Graham said. The new mobile training unit will enhance the training opportunities available to students. "Research has shown that facilities like this better equip students for delivering health care when they enter the workforce. This facility will be fitted out with some of the most up-to-date and effective simulation training devices – such as programmable mannequins - and offer our students access to training experiences that would otherwise not be available," Professor Graham said. Details about the facility and the full range of services provided are available online or by contacting: Email clinic@scu.edu.au Telephone on (02) 6626 9131 http://www.scu.edu.au/schools/hahs/index.php/2/  Aboriginal Employment Strategy Ltd.
