Each student negotiates an individual learning contract with the Subject Coordinator. Learning activities are not restricted, but may include any of the following (individually or in combination): critical review of the literature on a topic; individual or group research project; study in appropriate science and technology subjects at UTS. Appropriate work-based activity may be included if the Faculty of Science is satisfied that adequate supervisory arrangements exist.
