Unit Availabilities from Term 1 - 2026
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).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 12-credit Postgraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 25 hours of study per week, making a total of 300 hours for the unit.
Assessment Tasks
| Assessment Task | Weighting |
|---|---|
| 1. Presentation and Written Assessment | 20% |
| 2. Portfolio | 80% |
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Source: Coordinator observations
The one-on-one approach to learning and teaching in this unit has been successful in the past, and should be continued upon future enrolments.
Continue delivering this unit as an individualised offering tailored to students' backgrounds and interests.
The successful mentoring team paradigm has continued to be utilised in this unit to provide students with a supportive environment for their specialisations.
Source: Coordinator observations
Amalgamating the accident domain investigation and safety specialisation streams would combine students into fewer units while providing the same learning outcomes.
This unit has been removed from the Master of Advanced Safety Science Practice and Master of Safety Science (Major), and prospective students redirected to the SAFE counterpart (SAFE20014) from term 1 2020 in order to combine students in the accident domain investigation and safety specialisation streams.
In Progress
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- Critically analyse contemporary principles, theories, paradigms, models and methods relating to the selected area of accident domain specialisation.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of current approaches in the selected area of accident domain specialisation.
- Develop strategies and approaches that challenge or extend existing models and methods in the selected area of accident domain speclialisation.
- Justify changes in perspective and practice in the selected area of accident domain specialisation through evidence informed reasoning and critical reflection.
