FAQ

How to read the inherent requirement statements

A series of inherent requirement statements have been developed which are specific to this course.

To be successful in your studies all course requirements need to be met which includes the academic/theoretical content and practical application (industry placement). The requirements ensure students understand what is expected to complete their studies and therefore make an informed decision about their chosen course of study.

Each inherent requirement is made up of the following sections

  1. Introduction to the inherent requirement
  2. Justification for inherent requirement
  3. Examples you must be able to demonstrate to meet the inherent requirement

Curtin will endeavour to meet all students’ needs to ensure success with studies. Students with a disability or health conditions may be able to have reasonable adjustments made to enable them to meet these requirements. For further support please contact  Curtin’s AccessAbility Services
