Program delivery and structure
Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
The program uses a variety of teaching and learning approaches, including:
- Interactive coursework seminars
- Case studies to apply theoretical knowledge
- Syndicate and industry workshops in selected courses to enhance interaction and build collaborative abilities
- Individual study arrangements to provide self paced options.
A range of flexible assessment approaches will be used to allow you to demonstrate progressive development of capability. You will also be provided with different options for assessment which will allow you choice of task and give you some control as the learner. Assessment activities might incorporate written, oral, group and online components and assessment feedback will be timely, constructive and detailed. This assessment strategy will allow you to demonstrate high level understanding of the contemporary social or related policy field as well as develop essential capabilities.
If you have a long term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage it may be possible to negotiate variations to aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or the Equitable Learning Services Unit (ELS), (https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/equitable-learning-services) if you would like to find out more.
