This style of learning is designed to maximise your understanding of the curriculum content and skills. It is designed to provide an environment where you can ask questions and seek feedback as well as contribute to class discussion with your peers.

Problem-based learning:  You may be in a small group or team, or work individually to apply knowledge to solve problems and examine case studies. his technique is designed to simulate the experiences you will encounter working as a as a professional in industry.
