SOC6015 - Professional Learning Through Work

Objectives:

Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.

Content:

This module provides students with a flexible range of opportunities to enhance their professional skills and graduate opportunities. The module can be tailored to each individual student’s development as they apply theoretical understanding to a chosen context. This could include a work-based project within their professional setting or a skill-development approach in which the student identifies and addresses specific gaps in their portfolio of graduate-level skills.
