Medical Planning. The University currently offers undergraduate medicine through the Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and has no intention to move to a postgraduate medical program, as it is seen to disadvantage underrepresented groups (e.g. Indigenous and low SES students) by providing another hurdle to entry. The University is very proud of its success in the accessibility of our medical program, with approximately three percent of the intake being Indigenous students. The program strongly serves the health needs of the region, with the majority of JCU graduates practicing in regional and remote areas of Queensland. The University has a funded intake of 000 XXXXX medical places that are now fully pipelined. Consequently, the University plans no change to domestic annual completions. Singapore Campus Our wholly owned Singapore campus is one of our three tropical campuses, and is also JCU’s metropolitan campus. JCU Singapore celebrates 10 years in 2013, and the quality of the programs offered in Singapore is evidenced by JCU Singapore being granted another 4 years EduTrust status. Student enrolments have grown strongly at JCU Singapore over the last few years, with student demand focussing on Business, Psychology and Information Technology . Under current growth projections, it is anticipated that the Singapore campus will have as many students as our Cairns campus by the end of the triennium. JCU Singapore operates on a trimester basis and provides wonderful opportunities for JCU Australia students to study a part of their course in Singapore and vice versa – the first cohort of students taking advantage of a transfer between JCU Singapore and Australia will occur in second semester 2013.
Medical Planning. As noted in other areas of this Compact, the medical area is one of strategic priority for the University. Domestic and international applicants to the UOW MBBS program are of a very high standard and applicant numbers and quality continue to increase. The University is not requesting any variation to its graduate entry medical places at present, but wishes to outline its future intention to do so if opportunities arise. Quality Commonwealth objectives A focus on teaching and learning quality underpins the Commonwealth’s vision for Australia to be one of the most highly educated and skilled nations in the world. The Commonwealth has made a commitment to provide more autonomy to universities through the removal of funding caps on Commonwealth supported bachelor level places. In turn, the Commonwealth requires the University to participate in the higher education quality arrangements which are overseen by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency. The arrangements are designed to support academic autonomy while ensuring that the achievement of standards can be demonstrated and that there is a strong focus on enhancing the quality of teaching and learning while expansion of the higher education system meets national participation ambitions. The Commonwealth’s commitment to quality is demonstrated through initiatives such as the Office for Learning and Teaching, which provides a suite of grants, awards and fellowships to recognise quality and promote innovations in learning and teaching. The University also has obligations under the quality and accountability requirements in Division 19 of HESA. This compact does not change those obligations. University strategies The University has a strong reputation for academic quality and achievement in teaching and learning. As outlined in its new Strategic Plan 2013- 2018, specifically Goal #2 Learning and the Student Experience, it is clear that the University has an ongoing commitment to strengthen its strategies and reputation for delivering and supporting quality teaching and learning. For almost 20 years, UOW has offered its academic staff courses aimed at improving teaching quality. The current University Learning and Teaching (ULT) course is offered to all academic teaching staff (continuing and sessional). ULT is a work-based professional development program for university teachers designed to enhance teaching effectiveness, accredit expertise and provide an educational context for ongoing career devel...
