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 that you will be able to extend your capabilities once you graduate. The teaching method includes lectorial, seminar, tutorial, workshop, practical and laboratory sessions, site visits and the provision of online materials. You will be expected to complete all prescribed out-of-class learning activities in preparation for 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, and you are likely to find that other courses transition to online delivery as you progress through the program. All courses use Canvas for electronic provision of course material, tutorial problems and/or other relevant documents.
Assessments in this program are 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, timed assessment.

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 MC191 Master of Environmental Science and Technology, 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
These interactions and the work contexts provide distinctive sources of feedback to you to assist your learning. Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience may be in a simulated workplace environment, e.g.:
- In ENVI1239 Professional Environmental Scientist you will interact with industry partners in a range of case studies taking on the perspectives of key stakeholders.
