All programs also include discipline-specific research projects.

The research projects will be supervised by academic staff from the relevant discipline.

With the approval of the Head of School, multi- or cross-disciplinary projects may be undertaken.

Students in the research courses may work independently or as part of a team, depending on the nature of the project undertaken, though all students will submit individual assessment.

Final assessment will be based on a written paper or report and oral presentations.Throughout the program, and in addition to completing the courses given in the following schedules, students will be engaged with cohort activities so as to develop and maintain their interest and continuing involvement in the program via invited lectures, seminars, general reading and social events.The CDFS Program has objectives and learning outcomes in common with the standard Bachelor of Business degree, but extends the educational principles embodied in the standard degree to a higher level.

In the program, students will be exposed to courses in critical analysis and/or research methods, which will offer significant extension to the ideas and analysis normally available in the standard degree program.

This will allow all CDFS to successfully undertake research-oriented courses at the appropriate level through their program, thereby integrating research into their studies in a way that is not available in the standard degree.

The individual projects undertaken in close association with academic staff on research topics of mutual interest underpin the CDFS Programs and give students the ability to develop their full potential.Read More
