Earning Criteria
-
Across the intensive program, students must work in a team with students from other interdisciplinary backgrounds to collaborate with a Monash research group to develop a research impact strategy. This strategy asks students to apply research translation skills to design a viable and justifiable solution to a real-world and demand driven research challenge. Students must achieve at least a high distinction grade 80% overall in the program.
-
At the conclusion of the program, students present their impact strategy to professional academic researchers at a public research showcase event. This showcase event asks students to succinctly articulate the impact they seek to generate with their strategy, while communicating research outcomes to non-specialist or non-technical audiences. Students must achieve at least a high distinction grade 80% for the submission at the showcase.
-
Following the Showcase event, the professional academic research partners who have been working with the students might endorse the strategy presented at the showcase. This endorsement relates to the maturity and viability of the ideas presented, as well as the capacity of the students to critically justify their ideas with evidence.
