Employable, innovative & enterprising

07 June 2024

We aim to give our students practical experience so they can apply their skills and ideas to a wide variety of situations. Learn more about providing employable, innovative, and enterprising kaupapa to support our students.

HOW TO APPLY

The kaupapa outlined below are overarching ideas on which to base more specific pedagogy, activities and experiences. Learning outcomes can be linked directly to them, as can course assessments.
