Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
Your learning experiences will contain a mix of learning modes. This will include lectures, seminars, workshops, and individual supervision. They will generally employ a mix of large and small group learning activities, with an emphasis placed upon problem and process based learning in the context of laboratory (studio) based learning. All of your key learning experiences will involve face to face classes. Your learning activities will be a mix of research, writing, making artefacts, and a variety of forms of scholarly, reflective documentation practices.
The program has an emphasis on themed, collaborative investigations that are undertaken in interdisciplinary laboratories because the ability to work collaboratively, across different professional and academic groups, is a key objective for future academic and professional work.
Course assessment in honours is intended to be formative to help you develop your capabilities as a researcher, whether in a clearly academic or professional/practitioner capacity. Assessment forms and modes will vary across courses, however all assessment is directed to assisting you in achieving the highest possible outcome for your research project. Assessment may include individual and group tasks. The major assessment activity in honours is your research project or thesis.
If you have a long term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or the Equitable Learning Service if you would like to find out more.
If you have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program (for example, through prior studies or work experience), you can apply for credit once you have enrolled in this program.
