The Futures Project (MULT90015)

Whatever their discipline, doctoral graduates will be required to navigate an increasingly complex, competitive employment environment. This subject complements the focused intensity of doctoral research by providing candidates with the opportunity to develop and demonstrate skills in cross-disciplinary problem solving, teamwork and project management. The subject is delivered in three phases: phase one is a two-day intensive during which students are comprehensively introduced to a multi-dimensional real-world problem and beginning planning a group project to address that problem; phase two is a three-weekly or equivalent series of negotiated team-based meetings; phase three is the presentation of the group project and students’ critical reflection on their own and others’ projects.
