PS3111: Vertically Integrated Projects 2 S1
Semester 1 | Credits: 5
Vertically Integrated Project 2S1 (VIP2) is the entry module for students to undertake a second contribution to a Vertically Integrated Project, or VIP, in Semester 1.
The VIP programme will create and support teams of academic staff, postgraduate students, and undergraduate students that work together on long-term, large-scale projects. The teams will be multidisciplinary, in that students from across the university can participate, vertically-integrated, integrating students from first year undergraduate to doctoral students, and long-term, allowing undergraduates to participate in VIP projects repeatedly.
In VIP2, students attend regular classes that support advanced involvement in a VIP including onboarding new VIP members, management and other advanced team roles.
