There are seven core courses with a compulsory residential school for external students. These are SCIE11022, BIOH11005, ENEG11001, AINV12001, AINV12003, AINV13003 and AINV13006. 

Residential dates for these courses are documented within the residential school timetable http://content.cqu.edu.au/HandbookAdmin/schools.jsp. Generally, the residential schools for the AINV core courses will be held at the ‘Crash Lab'.

The ‘crash lab' contains real accident wreckage and other artefacts to give you hands on experience in a realistic accident environment and significantly enhance your learning experience. In year three of the bachelor degree, you will undertake a capstone investigation project where you will apply your learning from the program to a complex accident.

You will be required to ‘investigate' the accident using the techniques and methods delivered in the program, establishing the causal factors involved and prepare a report of your findings, conclusions and recommendations.  Personal protective equipment and a ‘crash kit' will be required for learning sessions at the ‘crash lab' (see individual courses for requirements).

Credit transfer will only be granted where a student is able to demonstrate that tertiary studies undertaken equivalent in content and depth to the CQUniversity program have been successfully completed. Students should examine the course synopses in this handbook to determine the courses for which they may be eligible to claim exemption.

Refer to the Credit Transfer website at http://www.cqu.edu.au/credittransfer for further details on the guidelines and application process.

You can apply for direct credit against CQUniversity courses, if equivalent tertiary level study has been completed. You must supply relevant documentation (study guides, course profiles, etc) to do this. Or, in some programs you can apply for electives outside of CQUniversity range of courses. If your study was undertaken more than 10 years old, you may not be eligible to apply for this as credit.

To satisfy the requirements of the award, students must complete 3 compulsory courses as scheduled and choose the fourth course from the courses indicated as elective options to a total of 24 units of credit.
