  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    Students complete an independent research project of their choice under the supervision of an academic supervisor. This provides active learning opportunities in the ability to use and apply scientific principles and techniques. The associated assessment tasks further develop the student’s knowledge in a particular discipline area, and their ability to identify and assess problems and knowledge gaps in the area. Interactive tutorial programs build students’ knowledge and skills in the areas of critical evaluation, data management and analysis and oral and written communication.
