About this Unit
The aims of this unit are to introduce students to philosophies of learning and to develop their understanding of different approaches to forming new ideas, solving problems and extending knowledge. In particular, the unit seeks to enable students to understand the links between knowledge and the communication of that knowledge. In addition, students learn about the philosophy and language of science through the contributions of senior researchers. Opportunities are provided for students to practise communicating their ideas through both written and oral presentations.
