Program delivery and structure
Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
In the first year of this program, you will work with your mentor or supervisor to develop learning contracts and undertake a performance review at regular intervals. During subsequent semesters, this review will also revisit all project and course work undertaken during the previous semesters.
Further assessment of project work will occur at the end of each semester, in the form of a Project Progress Report.
Assessment of course work will occur as per the individual course arrangements.
In the final semester, you will be required to undertake a major project and write an exegesis. The exegesis takes the form of a minor thesis which will critically analyse your progress over the length of the program (could include a collation of material and portfolio developed over the program). It will also include a reflection of your self-development during the program, and aspects of the work undertaken which have influenced or shaped your understanding of sustainability and aspirations for engagement in sustainability issues.
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 Disability Liaison Unit (www.rmit.edu.au/disability) 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. There is information on the RMIT University website about how to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL): www.rmit.edu.au/students/enrolment/credit/he
