Top of pageWork integrated learning
RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with workplace experience. As a student enrolled in this RMIT University program you will be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate vocational competency.
If you are working, particularly in a job which is related to your studies you will also be learning while at work and may have the opportunity to be assessed in your workplace for some or all of your courses. Feedback from work supervisors and others in the workplace can be used as evidence for assessment of competence.
The designated WIL (Work Integrated Learning) courses are:
1. ARCH5209C Specify soft furnishings for complete interior solutions (MSFID5001)
2. GRAP5294C Explore and apply the creative design process to 2D forms (BSBDES302A)
In these courses students are given a brief which has been developed by practitioners from industry. Students prepare a design response to the brief. Student work is then reviewed by the industry practitioners and students are provided with feedback.
Invited industry guest speakers inform and educate on specific topics throughout the program. Site visits to showrooms, suppliers and manufacturers provide opportunities to research and learn in industry.
In addition there is the opportunity for second year students to participate in a mentor program in conjunction with the DIA Design Institute of Australia. Selected students who apply are linked with industry practitioners to observe and participate in work practices related to the interior decoration industry.
