Learning and Assessment
Most teaching is lecture or group-based for modules, while individual supervisors provide specialist guidance during dissertation writing (starting in Semester 2). Hence, as the program progresses, the main learning method gradually becomes more individualized and student-centered.
O programa começa com uma semana de indução intensiva para desenvolver suas habilidades de planejamento de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento pessoal e para fornecer uma introdução aos recursos de TI e biblioteca. Suporte adicional em grupo e individual é fornecido para você, se necessário. Você é apresentado à escrita acadêmica, pesquisa e habilidades analíticas como parte da preparação para escrever sua dissertação.
To ensure the systematic development of knowledge of key subjects, modules are assessed by a variety of assessments in addition to essays and formal examinations. Group work, where the assessment may be based on a report or a presentation, provides you with both teamwork experience and practice in different ways of expressing arguments and information. Some modules may also use problem-solving exercises or ask you to develop a portfolio of your work. Please see the appendix for further details.
Career Support
The University is committed to helping students develop and enhance employability and this is an integral part of many programs. Specialist support is available throughout the course from Career and Employability Services including help to find part-time work while studying, placements, vacation work, and graduate vacancies.
Discussing options with specialist advisers helps to clarify plans through exploring options and refining skills of job-hunting. In most of our programs, there is direct input by Career Development Advisers into the curriculum or through specially arranged workshops.
