FASTL1009 Written communication for university
In this unit, students will be equipped with the academic reading and writing skills to effectively participate in the FAST course. The unit supports the development of academic reading and writing skills through extended practice in text analysis, argument evaluation and construction, independent research and synthesis of academic sources. Students will engage with a range of academic texts, digital tools and platforms to strengthen their ability to read critically and write effectively across disciplines. Enhancing proficiency in academic reading and writing includes particular emphasis on academic vocabulary, grammar and sentence structures, as well as academic tone. The unit scaffolds skills for FAST course units and undergraduate studies through content, skills and knowledge integration.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2026 student contribution amount: $592
2026 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $592
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
