All courses apply authentic assessments, which aim to enhance students' knowledge and skills and connect what they have learnt with the real business world. Assessments require students to apply the knowledge and skills obtained in the course to solve actual business problems. This is one of the best ways to prepare students for their future careers.

Work integrated learning courses are included throughout the curriculum and clearly indicated as an integrated component of course choice.
