‘What is Science for?’

‘What is Science For?’ will be introduced in 2009-2010 as a new compulsory course unit (5-credit equivalent) for second-year undergraduates in the Faculty of Life Sciences. The aim of the course unit is to increase students’ understanding of the broader social and ethical context of science. The course will involve both face-to-face and electronic learning components, utilising enquiry-based learning techniques such as student-led discussions, peer review and assessment in virtual and campus-based learning environments. In future years, the project team aim to extend the applicability of the course unit across the other Faculties.
