The aim of the Sydney Universities Consortium of Geology and Geophysics (SUCOGG) is to promote co-operative teaching amongst the Sydney metropolitan universities. This co-operation is of particular relevance at the Honours (fourth year) level in that it is at this stage that specialist instruction is appropriately commenced, but individual universities commonly lack the staff resources or sufficient student numbers to allow a full range of topics to be offered. Informal arrangements have existed in Sydney for many years whereby Honours students may cross campuses to attend particular classes, but such interchange has been rare. This year a more cohesive program of SUCOGG Honours course electives is open to all students from member institutions.

SUCOGG encourages post-graduate participation in the course electives, and welcomes inquiries from professional earth scientists interested in attending particular course electives on a fee paying basis as part of their continuing professional education.

Enrolment by Honours students is done as part of the internal arrangements at their own university. Students should contact both the lecturer in charge of the course they wish to study to register an interest, and the Honours Co-ordinator at their home University for approval to include the particular course in their program.

For information purposes only, a preliminary timetable or indication of when the elective is to run is included. However it will be necessary to contact the co-ordinating lecturer for final timetabling details. Contact details of phone, fax number and e-mail address of the co-ordinating lecturer is given in the description of each course elective. For UTS students only: If you cannot confirm your enrolment with the nominated co-ordinator in any subject prior to the HECS census date, please consult with the Head of Department about alternate arrangements.

Any general inquiries or suggestions regarding the course electives can be addressed to the Honours Co-ordinator at your home University.
