To support students who commence their placement outside standard semester dates or require flexibility due to individual circumstances, the following list of alternative courses is provided. These courses enable students to meet the 96-credit point (8-course) Professional Practice requirement through approved alternative options—either to complement a year-long placement outside standard semester, or, where a longer-term arrangement is not feasible, through shorter placements that are approved as beneficial in meeting the intended learning outcomes of the program.
