Your learning environment will include a broad mix of study modes including lectures, seminars, workshops and practical classes, using face-to-face, online and other flexible delivery mechanisms.
Site visits to external facilities as well as lectures by guest presenters from industry will enhance your understanding while providing valuable real-world context.
The majority of this degree consists of specialisation subjects supported by interdisciplinary studies, while the rest focuses on an industry-partnered research project.
You will apply your knowledge to design and conduct a research project that addresses a practical challenge facing scientists in these fields. This capstone project will provide you with an opportunity to collaborate with an industry partner or external institution.
Learning at RMIT
The types of classes you have will depend on the course you’re studying. Classes are offered in various formats designed to provide meaningful engagement with staff, industry and peers and provide for access and use of spaces where learning can be applied and active, including an array of specialised equipment.
Most RMIT courses do not include passive large-scale classes such as lectures, instead the content traditionally provided in lectures is made available online. This may be in the form of readings, videos or other on-demand learning materials. This content will also support the basis of interactive learning that takes place in on-campus classes.
