PROGRAM STRUCTURE The Graduate Certificate in Research consists of a single unit which is flexible, and can be taken in either full-time or part-time mode. This means the structure of the course relies on study time and overall progress towards portfolio activities, rather than credit point accrual. The single unit includes a range of compulsory and elective topics for you to study.

Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Feedback from Unit coordinator
Assessment wording and marking criteria sheets will be updated now that the modules have been completed and student understanding of requirements have been tested as authentic tasks.
Continual review of course materials, assessment wording and marking criteria to reflect student understanding and task requirement.
Feedback from Student
I was able to mould the course to my research interests
The unit coordinator will continue to structure group meetings with the discipline supervisor and the student to ensure the Individualised Learning Plan represents the student's research interest area and skill development
Feedback from Student
I had a great team behind me, the unit coordinator plus my academic discipline supervisor, without their advice my research topic would not have been so well developed
Teaching team will continue to liaise with academic supervisors and student to develop the Individualized Learning Plan via group meeting process.
Feedback from Unit coordinator
Some students require different teaching and learning approaches to develop clear understanding of concepts and to see relevancy of theoretical concepts to practical applications
Explore a range of discussions and examples to tease out explanations and encourage students to reflect on past experiences to attempt to attach relevant meaning and reduce the theory/practice divide.
