Orientation Program
The Office of Student Affairs arranges an Orientation Session at the commencement of all new cohort intakes. Topics covered are relevant to new students to assist them in settling into graduate studies. For example, what is to be expected in terms of course content, workload and assessments. The Orientation includes a session on Case Study Analysis to help give the students an insight into the type of work they will be expected to do at graduate level. Orientation also includes a session on the e-library, the physical library, and IT resources, along with information regarding ADSM policies and procedures. In addition, the orientation provides an opportunity for new students to meet academic and professional staff, and to meet fellow classmates and future colleagues.
The Orientation session is usually scheduled prior to the date of commencing classes, and the date will be published on the Academic Calendar.
Information on ADSM’s campus and facilities are available at the Campus Facilities page.
