Course overview
This course provides the opportunity for a student to pursue an area of study that will complement the other studies in the student's program. Typically the course will consist of specialised investigations extending knowledge and skills in a certain area. The studies could involve, for example, directed readings, extension of a project (where appropriate), or some other approved activity which would complement the student's studies in the program.Course queries
