Overview

This project based unit explores the potentials for dialogue and synergies between multiple disciplinary knowledges and perspectives. The unit supports double degree students to combine their areas of study and apply them to address key contemporary issues. Working individually and in diverse teams, students will both consolidate and expand disciplinary perspectives while discovering the potentials of integrating transdisciplinary approaches.
