Example Study Plan – Ash

Ash is an international student commencing mid-year in Semester 2.  Ash has completed an undergraduate degree in Physics, but it is below the level of a UWA degree, and included no astronomy or astrophysics units.  Nor has Ash had any programming experience in a language such as python, R, C, or FORTRAN.    Ash therefore takes 4 conversion units.  Ash requires more background training before starting the Research Proposal unit, and so that is taken in the third semester of study.
