Program delivery and structure
Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
The teaching approach in this program is designed to foster your development as an independent learner so you will be able to extend your capabilities once you graduate. The teaching methods may include lectorial, seminar, tutorial,, practical and laboratory sessions, field-trips and provision of online materials. You will be expected to complete all prescribed out-of-class learning activities in preparation of scheduled face-to-face and online classes, and encouraged to extend your learning through additional recommended readings and online activities. Of particular importance is the time spent in practice, laboratory based and work integrated learning activities that will develop your employability skills and capabilities.
Several courses in the program are delivered online, rather than on-campus, while other courses are delivered via a combination of predominantly online activities supported by some campus-based activities. All courses use Canvas for electronic provision of course material, tutorial problems and/or other relevant documents.
Assessment is designed to give you the opportunity to demonstrate your capabilities. Various forms of assessment will be used throughout the program since the assessment you undertake will be appropriate to the objectives and student learning outcomes for each course. Assessment may include class tests, quizzes, essays/reports, oral class presentations, group projects, research projects, laboratory projects, practical assignments and timed assessments.
Inherent requirements
The following information on inherent requirements outlines the tasks you will be required to undertake during professional placement and on-campus learning activities. The non-academic abilities listed are provided for information only and are not entry requirements.
If there are any activities outlined which may be difficult for you to undertake, there are a range of adjustments to your study conditions available to enable and support you to demonstrate these abilities. Please contact the Equitable Learning Service to discuss any adjustments you may require.
Please read the full list of the Bachelor of Science inherent requirements, which apply to BP330 Bachelor of Space Science: https://www.rmit.edu.au/study-with-us/applying-to-rmit/local-student-applications/entry-requirements/inherent-requirements/bachelor-of-science
By understanding the types of activities you’ll participate in, you can:
- understand more about the program
- determine if you may need support during your studies
- make an informed decision about whether the program is suitable for you
If you are living with disability, long-term illness and/or a mental health condition, we can support you by making adjustments to activities in your program so that you can participate fully in your studies. To receive learning adjustments, you need to register with Equitable Learning Service
The University considers the wellbeing and safety of all students, staff and the community to be a priority in on-campus learning and professional experience settings.
Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning
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. There is information on the RMIT University website about how to apply for Credit: https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/student-essentials/enrolment/apply-for-credit
Top of pageWork integrated learning
RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice. As a student enrolled in this RMIT University program you will:
- undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice;
- interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities;
- complete these activities in real work contexts or situations; and
- these interactions and the work context provide a distinctive source of feedback to you to assist your learning.
Any or all of these aspects of a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience may be in a simulated workplace environment.
In this program you will be doing specific courses that focus on Work Integrated Learning (WIL). You will be assessed on professional or vocational work in a workplace setting (real or simulated) and receive feedback from those involved in your industry.
The Work Integrated Learning (WIL) designated courses for this program are:
- ONPS2669 Science Project
All science students will undertake ONPS2669 Science Project (24 credit point) where you will have the opportunity to learn, apply and demonstrate professional science practice. In these courses you will work individually or in a team on projects under the guidance of a professional scientist (usually an academic "mentor"). The projects undertaken are often linked directly with an active research group within the School or are derived from problems and casework initiated through industrial links with School staff. In addition to the project component, students may be expected to attend scheduled classes where additional supportive content is delivered.
In these WIL courses, you will interact with organisations (industry, government and community) through discipline relevant projects and activities. These interactions and the work context provide a distinctive source of feedback to you to assist your learning.
Other WIL activities will depend on specific courses you take but all students are expected to undertake courses containing advanced laboratory work in years two and three of the program. In these courses you will be exposed to techniques and practices commonly used in science- and space-based industries. Often such laboratory work is undertaken as group or team exercises and you will be expected to take more than one role in the team at different times to expand your experience and capabilities.
The School of Science also offers some elective courses that provide further learning opportunities in industry.
