This course is designed specifically for people currently working in the field of adult learning and development who wish to upgrade their formal qualifications, gain recognition for prior work experience, and improve their theoretical knowledge and practical expertise. It aims to develop flexible and innovative practitioners who can enhance adult learning and facilitate the development of individuals, enterprises, industry and local and global communities. The course embraces all dimensions of adult learning and development, integrates theory with practice, and is delivered in a flexible and adult-oriented learning environment.
The
Bachelor of Adult Learning and Development is a three-year undergraduate
course. By qualifying for 48 credit points of prior learning through the RPL
process outlined above, students are eligible to gain advanced standing for the
first year of study and enter directly into the second year of the course.
The final two years of the course comprise 14 core units and two elective
units. Each unit is valued at six credit points. The course is structured to
enable students to develop theoretical and conceptual frameworks in which to
reflect critically and constructively on their previous and current work
experience, in addition to developing new strategies and approaches for
application in workplace and community settings. Their newly acquired knowledge
and understandings are reinforced through a range of practical learning
activities such as site visits, group workshops, case studies, and independent
workplace projects.
This course comprises the equivalent of three years of full-time study, or up to six years part-time study. Full-time students complete the course over two years, with RPL taking the place of the first year. The course is delivered flexibly to accommodate adult learners with full-time work and/or family commitments and can also be undertaken on a part-time basis. A full-time student is expected to undertake 48 hours of independent study and research per week.
This is a conceptual outline only. It gives a general indication of how the course will progress. It may be subject to change without notice.
On completion of this course, it will lead to a recognised tertiary degree in adult and vocational education and training that will place graduates at the forefront of professional knowledge and practice and give them a competitive edge in the employment market. Opportunities exist for further study.
