Description

What is science and how is it used? What is it to be a scientist? The political uses of expertise. The status and authority of science. Is technology applied science? This course brings together elements from History and Philosophy of Science, graduate skills development and project work, to enhance study skills, graduate attribute awareness, self reflection, scepticism and critical thinking, while contextualising these for students' own career development.
