Students will continue to contextualise their applied practice and increase their skill base in relation to critical analysis and evaluation through the articulation of critical self-appraisal. Through external engagement, students are given the opportunity to consolidate their understanding of the fashion industry. Through a research approach, students respond to live or simulated industry-set challenges. Knowledge and professional understanding of the processes underpinning product design and development will be enhanced. Students will combine creative, practical, intellectual and entrepreneurial skills within an industrial context to respond to a brief.

Academic integrity

Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others' work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values. Refer to the University's Student Charter for more information.

To enhance understanding of academic integrity, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) at least once during their course of study. You can access this module within UCLearn (Canvas) through the 'Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism' link in the Study Help site.

Use of Text-Matching Software

The University of Canberra uses text-matching software to help students and staff reduce plagiarism and improve understanding of academic integrity. The software matches submitted text in student assignments against material from various sources: the internet, published books and journals, and previously submitted student texts.
