RMIT offers a variety of learning and teaching approaches including lectures. Ongoing assessment throughout the semester includes competency assessments, essays, laboratory reports, oral classes, presentations, group projects, research projects, laboratory projects, and practical assignments. During the final semester of study, eligible students can undertake one full semester of supervised practice in either a medical research laboratory or a diagnostic pathology laboratory.

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. The world is constantly changing, and there are universal skills that can help you adapt to the evolving nature of work and global engagement. As part of your study experience at RMIT, we provide 6 future-focused RMIT Capabilities: Ethical Global Citizens Connected Adaptive Digitally Adept Expert Critically Engaged.
