This 30CP subject has been developed for School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HUSS) students to participate in substantial and extended work-based learning with external partners and/or a placement with an industry organisation. You will be expected to develop the skills necessary for professional practice in your major field of study. You may also identify a specific problem/issue and work towards solving it by working in a professional setting and under the guidance of an academic advisor. Such project- and problem-based learning requires you to bring your university learning into a professional environment and further develop a range of skills including planning, research, critical thinking, creative problem solving, collaboration, and complex communication skills. You will work with a degree of autonomy and take ownership of the problems and projects you encounter as well as the solutions and outcomes you develop. You will be required to articulate evidence of the skills and experience developed in the professional setting as part of your assessment.
Capstones provide students with a way of integrating and applying knowledge and skills gained throughout their course.
