SCI1502 · Impact through science 1B

Overview

This is the second part of level-one Impact through science core studies of the Bachelor of Science Advanced - Global Challenges (Honours). It consists of two modules, undertaken in parallel: leadership and the big issues of our time. In the leadership module you will continue to develop and apply adaptive leadership tools. The big issues of our time are explored in a module examining how science and policy can impact decision-making. Teamwork is explored through several assignments which includes you undertaking peer-consultations on leadership challenges you have identified. A 'dialogue' evening series will provide opportunities for networking and intimate discussions with leaders from a variety of industries. You will build relationships with mentors.
