The unit dedicates itself to developing an understanding of statistical practice and illustrates this by studying the techniques most commonly employed in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Topics covered in this unit include data collection methods, data quality, data summarisation, basic probability, random variables, and statistical models like the normal distribution, followed by sampling distributions and statistical inferences about means and proportions. Also studied are analysis methods relating to comparisons, counted data and relationships, including regression and correlation. Excel is used for handling and analysing data and word processing to report the results.

Introductory Statistics

This unit provides students with an introduction to research design and statistical analysis.

Both experimental and non-experimental research methods are covered, as well as a variety of statistical tests, including t-tests, correlation, and chi square analyses.Students will learn data management techniques and appropriate methods to summarise data, including both numeric and graphical summaries. Students will also gain hands-on experience using the statistical software Stata.

An individual’s relationship with their employment can have a striking influence on their general wellbeing, life satisfaction, and productivity at work, with a typical individual spending approximately a third of their life at work. This unit introduces you to the psychological perspectives of the world of work, including both individual and organisational aspects. You will learn how organisational psychologists apply psychological principles and tools to study occupational behaviour, working conditions and organisational structure, and solve problems related to employee wellbeing, performance, and organisational design. Tutorials will draw on real-life case studies to provide hands-on experience with the tools and techniques used by organisational psychologists. This ensures that you are equipped to apply the knowledge acquired in this unit to contemporary issues facing employees and organisations.

Psychology @ Work

This subject was previously known as PHI230, PHIX201 Business and Professional Ethics. Please note: This subject is available in Macquarie Session 3, which is an intensive semester that spans only 5 intensive teaching weeks, plus a mid-semester recess and an assessment period. Students are advised to enrol in only one or two subjects in Session 3. Students who would prefer to take the unit over 13 teaching weeks should enrol in the Session 1 offering. This unit investigates some of main ethical issues that arise in professional life and from the activities of businesses and corporations. The unit explores the nature and value of work as well as its role in personal identity and social organisation. We also consider the obligations and responsibilities that come with professional work and the management of businesses. We examine the nature of corporations and their responsibilities to individual workers and consumers, stakeholders, groups such as women and minorities, and the environment.

Break down the ethical considerations that can stem from business activities. Firm up your view on a business' social responsibilities. Unpack codes of conduct and whistleblowing. Question the ability of corporations to influence government policies.

Ethics, Business and Work

We engage in economic activities on a daily basis. We work to earn money, buy groceries, pay rent or mortgages, save for a holiday. In often invisible ways, these everyday activities of production and consumption are underpinned by social structures, cultures and ideologies. You will learn about the workings of the economy, labour markets and finance, and how economic activity is embedded in social relationships. You will be able to understand and address important issues of our time, such as the increasing gap between the rich and the poor, and unequal access to power and resources based on intersecting questions of gender, race and class.

Economic Life, Inequality and Society

In this intermediate statistics unit, you will build upon first-year to continue your journey in both the design and statistical components of experimental and non-experimental research common to psychological science. The importance of interpretation based on both the design and statistical analysis components is emphasised in this unit, as well as the utility of research to achieve positive impact for real-world problems and make informed decisions grounded in scientific evidence. You will learn a range of statistical analyses such as analysis of variance, linear regression, and non-parametric analyses. You will apply design and statistics principles to both academic and non-academic research contexts, including the communication of findings in multiple formats to a variety of audiences. You will continue to develop your practical data analysis skills using Stata statistical software.

In this intermediate course, you’ll cover statistics used for experiments in psychological research. Discover the importance of interpretation and the power of sample size. Learn statistic methods including correlation, regression and more.

This unit equips students with financial analysis skills to support advanced study in corporate finance and investment analysis. Emphasis is placed on being able to interpret financial statements in the context of a company&#39;s operational performance and strategy, to assess historical financial performance and to prepare a spreadsheet based financial model capable of forecasting integrated financial statements for a company. After this unit, students should understand the language of financial statements, and be able to use an Annual Report to develop an understanding of a company&#39;s operational performance and strategy, to assess historical performance and prospects. Specific topics include the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement and financial statement analysis using Dupont methodology. Financial modelling applications will also be developed, so students will be able to prepare forecasts for the three financial statements, as well as being able to integrate the three statements.

Financial Statement Analysis and Modelling

This unit provides the important building blocks in microeconomic and quantitative analysis required for advanced study in applied finance. Microeconomic analysis develops tools in demand and supply and critically applies these to the consumer and the firm. It concludes with an analysis of market structure. The second part of the unit develops quantitative skills that are used in finance, including descriptive statistics, probability, statistical inference, correlation and regression analysis. Spreadsheets are extensively used in statistical modelling.
