Emphasis is placed on developing the ability to apply methods of philosophical, historical, cultural, gender or archaeological inquiry to contemporary problems and to communicate findings to non-academic audiences.

What can the perspectives you bring from your studies in History, Philosophy, Gender and Cultural Studies, Archaeology and Ancient History bring to the framing and explanation of a contemporary issue? In this project unit students will develop a research project within their discipline, bringing to bear a range of methods in order to offer solutions to a broader contemporary social, economic or political question. Emphasis will be given to the ways discipline-specific approaches to research can be formally presented and communicated to non-specialist audiences.

This unit allows students to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams on complex "real world" problems under a theme developed in collaboration with industry and community partners. Briefed by the partners and guided by project supervisors, students use systems thinking approaches to design their own projects and engage in self-directed inquiry-based research to provide final recommendations. In this unit, students will develop their own professional identity through participation in communities of practice and reflective practice, together with an in-depth understanding of specific project-related matters. This experience will equip students with an agile mindset and skillset that will assist them to successfully navigate dynamic future environments and career paths.
