This capstone course enables you to synthesize and integrate knowledge, connect theory and practice and demonstrate holistic achievement of program learning outcomes. The course provides an opportunity for you to more deeply investigate a particular area of scholarship and professional practice in the field.

Your investigation may take the form of an individually negotiated project, placement or thesis relating to your professional context.

You may choose to align your project, placement or thesis with your professional work if you are already employed in the sector, or you may conduct the project, placement or thesis in conjunction with an organisation that you have a relationship with. Your decision to undertake a project, placement or thesis will depend on your career objectives.

This course includes a work integrated learning experience component in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in an industry (project or placement) or simulated workplace context (thesis option) and where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience.
