Student Charter

The AIPM teaching and learning philosophy regards students as active participants in their educational experience. This presupposes certain responsibilities and expectations which the AIPM and its students can reasonably expect of one another. The purpose of this student charter is two-fold: firstly, to describe the expectations students can properly hold of the AIPM; and, secondly, to describe what is expected of students undertaking studies through the AIPM.
