New Course Structures: The UWA Future Framework

As we approach our centenary, we have been considering how the University can continue to provide the best possible learning environment well into the future.

Following a comprehensive review of the University’s courses and student experience it has been confirmed that the new course structure will commence in 2012.

University's Review of Course Structures

Review of Course Structures Report

This report recommends a simple and flexible Future Framework for UWA degrees. Late in 2008, the Academic Board overwhelmingly endorsed the principles in this report and the Senate resolved that the recommendations be implemented, subject to the University's normal decision-making processes and the availability of adequate resources.
