About this Unit
This unit will allow students to explore more advanced topics, including wider areas of research and their applications in science, technology, tourism or the environment. It will encompass and build upon subject areas and techniques already encountered in the undergraduate program, and provide students with an appreciation of more sophisticated applications of scientific principles, emphasising the practical, social, environmental and/or economic value of the sciences. In addition, students will further develop competency in the communication of research results and conclusions through participation in seminar series within the College of Science, Technology and Environment.
