Course Requirements The course consists of 180 credit points of fifth-year level subjects for students who have previous studies, and or professional experience that are related (cognate) to international development. An example of cognate studies would (typically) be a degree in the social sciences. Students without previous cognate studies undertake 240 credit points of study. All students must have completed the following core subjects by the end of their studies: DST5DAC, POL5HSM, POL5ISD and DST5MDF. Local students may study in part-time mode and complete their course over a longer period. International students must maintain a full-time enrolment at all times. Full-time enrolment is 60 credit points of study per semester (four 15 credit point subjects). Students are strongly encouraged to consult with Dr Shelia Scopis (S.Scopis@latrobe.edu.au) before the start of each semester to tailor electives to support their interests and career aspirations and to confirm that their enrolment is appropriately allocated to either the cognate (180 point) or non-cognate (240) version of the degree. LTU0AIM is a not-for-credit subject that you are required to complete at the commencement of your first semester. The subject is designed to enhance your knowledge and awareness of issues concerning academic integrity.
