The program recognises this by organising subjects around intensive periods of teaching, including lectures, presentations, workshops and groupwork based on selected readings which are provided as part of the course. Classes may be held during the evenings, or as full-day or weekend sessions. The exact format varies from subject to subject. Part-time students in the Advanced Year should be prepared to take one day of leave per subject in the course, on average. Considerable emphasis is placed on group work, and on group support for independent study and project work outside of teaching periods.
All subjects require a high standard of written academic work.
Considerable attention is paid to the development of skills and techniques in academic writing. Teaching, assessment and supervision are carried out by an interdisciplinary team of RMIT staff. Students may choose to work with one or more than one supervisor. They are encouraged to seek advice and comments on written work from all members of the team.
