Unit Resources

This page provides resources for academic staff involved in the development and approval of units of study at the University of Divinity. For further information or to request improvements, please contact your College’s Academic Dean or the University’s Academic Programs department.

Units

A unit is a discrete quantum of study organised around a topic that contributes to a course of study leading to an award of the University. A list of units offered at the University in current year is available online at: units.divinity.edu.au

Copies of approved Unit Records may be obtained from your College’s Academic Dean or the Director of Learning and Teaching.

Unit Development and Approval

Unit Policy – the policy approved by the Academic Board which governs the development, approval and review of units. Unit approval requires completion of review by an academic external to the College responsible for the unit, the endorsement of a unit by a College Academic Committee, and approval by the Director of Learning and Teaching.

Unit Record – the form approved under the Unit Policy for the development, approval and recording of units

External Review Report – the form approved under the Unit Policy for the review of a unit

College Review Checklist – the form approved under the Unit Policy for the assessment of a unit by a College Academic Committee

Unit point value and expected word counts will change in 2019 and 2020.  Information about the changes can be found in an article on Vox online.
